Thanks man, I had to roll the fenders today and do some grinding to get them to fit. I think I got it but there is still some rubbing so I may have to raise it. I need the car to still be functional in the twisties.

Agreed! It's awesome to see functional fitment (that's also flush, to the true, original definition of the word)....I went with a similar approach on my 8, although not quite as aggressive as yours.

Love the wheels! Definitely my favorite of your wheels so far. Car is almost perfect! (the only nit-pick I have is the lack of tint on the back window only.)

If so you're so lucky.

Yeah. The whole car will be re tinted soon. I had the back window busted out a club and after spending $700.00 to replace I didn't want to pay for tint. It annoys me as well though.

It needs a clay bar and wax bad but I am having some paint work done soon so I will wait until after that to do it up right.

They don't look like stock and they look and perform better than your WEDS ripoffs. Opinions are opinions I guess.

Keep sippin' that hatorade bro, my RX-8 would destroy yours in any category. lolmoney. Who knows man, you may be in luck. Now that tiltmode is not around much maybe you can buy another set of knock offs and try and pass those off as real.
