That's Very cheap. Replicas or oem? The Oem G05 won't work since they changed the bolt pattern.

I bought the same rims in gunmetal from Elite custom rims .com and they sent me 45/40mm offsets. THeir site says 40/37. Do you know what offsets you got? The eBay ones are 45/40 and I skipped on those to get them from this site (paying $100 more) Not sure if they will fit properly without spacers.

You're not talking much difference. The front wheel will sit 5mm further in and the rear will be 3mm further in. It's very close to stock and not worth getting spacers for.

I actually bought a set of spacers from a guy on here. 15mm h&r with bolts for front and rear so I guess I'm going to keep them anyway, just bothers me that I paid an extra $100 for them thinking I was getting the very slightly more aggressive setup. 40/37 is what I see most replicas listed as so this was either a website error or they just sent me what they had in stock.

I bought replicas wheels and there not worth it. I hit a mini pothole on a rainy day on LA roads. Had to call AAA to tow me back home.

They are alzor 030 from ECS tuning
18x9 and I had 225/40/18 tires on. Still caused a huge dent on it and cracked my rim leaking air. [IMG][/IMG]

Know this is an old post, but just bought the twin of your F15 and have also been looking at these wheels on EBay. What tire sizes are you running front and rear? Thanks!
