They look to be the same as HP Evos. A few guys I know run them on their Audis and have said good things to say about them. I would take a look at those seeing these are on back order…

spacers push the wheel further out, like a lower offset…

Your stock wheels look awesome. I would not change for the sake of changing. And yeah yeah yeah, they’re heavy, blah blah, too narrow, blah blah. You’re car is always going to be heavy, big deal, and 7.5 aint wide at all, so it’s not worth it no matter how you color it.

You have a nice car, leave it be and enjoy it.
