yeah, looked like the offset was too low. as far as what problems you'll encounter, main problem is rubbing, another problem would be the way the car handles

So should I sell these beasts and get something with the right offset?
i personally would sell(thats me though) and rubbing is the main issue with the possibility of messing the fenders up, up front. thats the main concern i carry and think you should be concerned aswell. hope this helps.
btw. you probably can find the same wheels in the right offset or you might need to opt for something a little more expensive. pm me if you have any more question for the future

nope, RG2's only come in gold, silver or white......i'd get gold CE's or special order black CE's if you really want black...that would be different

They actually make the RG II's in hyberblack, (black chrome). They are a little more expensive though. By the way, I personally think RG II's in gold would look good on your car since its white.

Actually they're not black chrome...the Japanese call it bright chrome. You can take a look at the pic on Advan's website and you'll be able to see the dark shade in the chrome.

I also spoke with a customer rep from Advan and they said that the rims are basically hyperblack with a shine.
