It's too late for me - I'm now invested with tires and it's just cost prohibitive to scrap everything and start all over |

Once you commit, it's over. Was navigating between oem 21s and brand tires... Or forged 22s and cheap tires... Decided the former from another member. But High Performance tires on 21s don't last long and are expensive. But fellow members do sell theirs frequently, so there are affordable opportunities. |

wheels have been great up until this winter. i was too lazy to put my winters on, and they look ugly. plus i wanted to see how the dws06 tires handled the snow, which they do pretty darn good.
i've been driving thru LOTS of salt and wetness, and the clearcoat has developed some corrosion in small spots, mainly on sharp edges of wheel. probably due to the clear being thin there. when the weather gets better, i'll try to touch them up. would i buy them again? yes, but i'd be tempted to spray another coat of clear on them. if you dont live in the salt belt, then you'll probably be fine. plus, they are very affordable, and i've had no structural issues. |

If not DOT approved you are taking a risk that I am not personally willing to take. Same with people who buy cheap motorcycle helmets. How much is your life worth?

Thanks for the update! Can you post a pic of the clear issue? How are the DWS06 tires? My only concern is, are they a QUIET tire? |

ebay from sdtwdirect, but this seller is the same company. same wheels.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-Rims-469...0/152448925286 wheels are real filthy now and wouldnt show. the dws06 are extremely quiet. and they ride as smooth as having 19" tires. its the best tire in my opinion. only downfall is they are not runflat. |

How's the offset on those? I see in the link it's: F +40 R +35
And stock is: F +40 R +37 Sorry - I'm being lazy, the -2 difference means the wheel is further out, correct? Was looking at a set that's: F +45 R +40 Wasn't sure if those would be ok or not. Any info appreciated! |

+45 and +40 will bring the wheels further in to the wheel well. I'd suggest against going that route unless you really really want to run spacers to try to get flush.

Looks great! I've purchased many replicas and never had any issues and who cares about the weight? These aren't track cars where we want to shave every pounds.

10cc should be more than enough. I believe 10cc is enough to do our whole car.

Any updates on these, are they still going strong?
I just ordered a set with some real cheap tires and TPMS, totaling at $1600.
