Are you still liking them? What are your thoughts on the tires/ride? How carefully do you drive to avoid bending?

Late.
-I love'em, every time I look at them I gleem!!
-I dont think about it, I have always been careful and conscious about bumps, etc. in the road.......and S-03's are every bit as good as advertised....285 rears give the car a SICK stance.....
-These wheels are VERY strong, as are any well made JDM/Domestic wheel... The ride I have(with L-tuned sus.) is very close to the feeling I had with the 17's.....

I think it's just fine. Should be no rubbing.
Tiny, can you post a pic of your ride?

BTW as a retailer, if the line is not profitable, we will drop it. Simple as that. Hopefully they resolve the issue.

Peter,

On the Zauber finish...

Are the full polish wheels clearcoated? Are they more than the painted model? Are the paint/polish cleared?

I doubt you have any pics of the full polish...

Which do you prefer?

Thanx.

Ryan

wrong. I DO have a full polish pics.

Really, I have no preference. I like all of them. If I can't decide, I flip a coin.

The silver polish is more expensive, that is the price I gave you. That at least makes up for some (although not much) of the price difference.

Great looking wheel! I have some questions.

Is the Zauber Gettin a forged wheel?

What size tires would fit on the GS going with 19x8.5 / 19x10?

Will 19x9 work in the front?

What is the minimum offset in the front to accomodate a big brake kit?

Thanks,

Thanks man....
-Actually, it is the silver polished finish...In person, you can definitely distinguish it from painted....

-Ryan, they are heavily clearcoated ...In the right light the face almost looks like a raw/brushed metal under the clearcoat. Different from silver painted or "high" polish...
I have to say, when I ordered it, I didnt know if the wheel would carry itself like it does. Its alot of bang for the buck....

Hey Will, in reference to offsets, the Arrow jp site is where I chose my offsets, but Peter mentioned that the Gettin could be ordered in any desired offset....
Do your spec sheets show any offsets/lip sizes other than the ones on the web-site???

Oh yeah, Peter, would you please pm me your best price available on the 19" silver polish ??? TIA, Tiny

Oooooooops....my mistake They don't make silver paint in that wheel.

Tiny, I just looked at the setup chart, and I wouldn't mess around with the setup personally. I think it's just fine. Will can probably help you with the "special stuff" better than I can.

Remind me to send the price over to you Monday...i'm at home today
