AME Tracer FS-01 18X9 +31mm

FINALLY new rims for the 8...cant mount them on the car yet as my car was broken into last Friday....pending the body shop....

The AME dealer told me the weight for these rims were 20.6lbs. I tried weighing them myself and it came to an even 20lbs. BUT, the electronic scale i used was quite old so i think im gonna get a 2nd opinion. Hope to have em on next week...any suggestions on wheel locks?

ENJOY

McGard has been in the business a long time. I think they have the system down.

When I saw them on lazi's car, i had to have em... I really like 10 spoke rims bc they 're rare on an 8.

looks nice.

can't go wrong with any mackin lugs. muteki or rays will be fine.

however, im sorry to say, if someone wants to steal your wheels, wheel locks won't really stop them.

18x9 +31mm on all 4...I went for 31mm instead of 25mm bc i thought that might be too low. Still concave though...

Update: Mounted!

Just had them mounted a few days ago...pretty flush...will probably have to roll the front fenders when the car is lowered...

I was looking in the '18x10.5's fit!' thread and I noticed that even when the rim itself was mounted on your car, it would still tuck under the fender. My rims stick out a bit in the front. Did you change the camber of the fronts? Is it possible that your upgraded brake rotor gave you more room to tuck your wheel? I'm still basically stock...
