So far I'm digging it but to be honest I haven't really put the power down hard or hit any fast corners yet. I do plan on supercharging later so this setup also gives me a little more tire patch than I had before. I heard the reproductions are going to be cast and not forged. The OEM rim is going to be a stronger and lighter (my guess).

Looks good, just needs a little bit of tire dressing.

I know, it's expensive, but when you look at any of the high-end rim manufacturers the cost is at least $1,000 per rim. Sure you can get a set of cheaper rims for around $2,000.00 but to me the extra $1,500.00 got me a higher quality rim, perfect OEM fit and they look better than any aftermarket rim I've come across (imo).

NinoSS,

Nicely done! I gave up on finding a used set.

Thanks, it took patience... I would have done the factory reproductions but really wanted the OEM's. They look awesome, have agressive offsets and are very light weight. I can't wait!!!

Very true....I do like these wheels. Weld is my other choice.
