I can’t decide if I like the wheels or not, but that rear fitment is spot on. :tup: ---

There’s a ton of clearence. It’s really just the angle of the photo. The fender at full compression tucks the tire and wheel. It will never hit or ruin anything. My m3 was much worse and closer hah ---

The way the suspension travels will suck the wheel/tire into the fender well and it’ll clear fine. Sorry I missed this yesterday! Didn’t quite make it to STM lol. ---

Wheels are great. I like more subtle wheels on a car like this. Makes its more about the car and not so much about the wheels. ---

I’ll wait until you sell these wheels in 6 mo or less and then decide if I hate the news wheels as well. Otherwise, wowzers! Beautiful work. The wheels don’t ruin it for me, but certainly not where I would have gone. Different strokes, I guess. ---

And I also hate Rotiform… i already have the next wheels plans in mind but that won’t be for a while. I love the way it currently looks, no intent to change it for a bit minus maybe the color. ---

I need to see these wheels in person before I decide if I like them. They’re something about them that doesn’t sit right with me and I can’t put my finger on it… it’s almost like you bought wheels that were too small and had some custom adapter made to make them bigger. ---

I don’t mind the wheels, not big on black on black but the car looks sick. I think a C2S front bumper would look great on this thing.
