Awesome! Hoping I can get my hands on the mighty +47s in the future for my car. Is running them with stock front fenders feasible?

Edit: holy typos.

S2sik sold a set in Bronze (or maybe he still has em?). I wanted to grab them but I'd spent 2800 on this set and he wanted another 2700 for his. 5000+ in wheels seemed crazy to me at the time but in hindsight I should have collected them all. I think there were 3-4 complete sets brought over and a few sets that used the 9.5 +47 just for the rears. The total number of these wheels in the states is very limited if I remember correctly from what the distributor told me.

In fact //Steve\\ tried to make me a really good offer on them just the other day

Running on stock fender is doable with track camber and ZERO pulling. I wanted my fender to look as OEM as possible and I pretty much achieved that. I think for the track S2000 this is pretty close to perfect. I'll have pictures up in a few posts - be patient lol.

Yeah I am guessing I am going to have to make someone an offer they can't refuse. How many sets do I have to buy to convince Rays to make another run? hahaha

Glad to hear that stock fenders are doable with no pull. I assumed I would need to do aftermarket fenders.

Wiseguy has a bronze set that he got from Pete who got them from some other guy who got them from Diez. Yes the infamous Diez set of ce28s does still exist and they are on an incredibly nice car.
