Awesome wheels in gunmetal...but the zero offset is a bit too much for me. That's a shame.

Where you at in Orlando Sean? I work right near UCF off of Challenger Parkway. Unfortunately I live on the other side of town in Metrowest (great commute as you can imagine )

Cool. I can't make it tonight either but I'll pop by next Wednesday night and see what's up.

Hijack over; now my interest is piqued, time to find out if there's a gunmetal Rewind in a less aggressive offset...

i finaly got them mounted today. axel you are in for a surprise! they stick out about and inch and a half. i am having some rubbing on the very edge of the the left rear tire. its probably because my shocks are beat. i don't sugest lowering the car at all unless you get the fenders rolled ( i guess ). as far as fitment goes i'm about 70% satisfied. if it werent for the increased width improving suspention grip then i'd be a lil pissed. if i still have rubbing after i get new shocks then i might go with a diffrent dimention tires. i have 205x60x15 now. anyway i think the color and the style looks great. that machined lip realy stands out. if i had a camera i wiuld post all kinds of pics. sorry. i'll get one soon.

its a lil hard to tell how they fit at that angle. i think those tires are 195s because it looks difrent than mine. they seem to stick out more on my car with the 205s. those tires may even be a difrent side wall hight.

i guess the wheels fit the same. so YEAH to answer your Q.

Wow, I wasn't expecting a review like that. 15s would look a little wierd without the car being lowered. I need to see pics.
