So is your wheel at more an oem position now? Sorry I don't know much about wheels. I've got my heart set on a personal neo grinta. Not sure if you can comment on wheel size? I don't mind the oem wheel size.

Glad you got to drive your car today

Good thing that wasn't a customer's car, lol. Maybe a good body shop could get it fixed up for you. Good luck bud.

I like the color, looks really good. It def does not look like the Volk Bronze though; they appear much darker with more brown to them. Also- it is very hard/impossible to replicate that anodized finish. This though is sweet in its own right. That trunk got pawned!

Right now with the spacer the wheel is very close to me which is what I wanted.

If you get a Neo Grinta with a NRG short hub and Nrg quick release, the wheel will be in the exact same spot as OEM.

Thanks, man! I'm still on the fence of how I feel about the wheel colour, I'm not sure how much I actually like it.

Yeah I know, I wasn't trying to replicate it exact but rather try to get it close. Yeah the trunk got owned pretty hard, LOL.

Thank you! Yeah I'm looking to buy a trunk lid now, might take the chance to repaint the whole car.
