Awesome, I'll try and get this done during the weekend.

Went and got the wheels and new tries mounted (Dunlop Direzza Z2 Star Specs in 255/40/R17), really loving the look of these wheels. In some light they are almost black, but in direct sunlight they look more gunmetal. Very happy with everything in regards to the wheels, and their quality.

I'll definitely keep everyone updated on how mine perform, at this point I am very happy with them and everyone that sees them comments on how great they look. I won't be tracking on these as much as some of the others, but I will do a few track days and autocross events a year.

Ran another weekend at Road Atlanta with three thin spokes and one thick spoke and 275/35/17 Maxxis RC1s. They didn't crack. It was amazing.

Hey how do you like that tire size on the wheels? Did you go with the 55 offset?

They seemed to work well. I have the +55 offset and we did have some slight rubbing issues on the front and rear fenders running -3.5F/-3.0R. I am going to roll the fenders a little bit more before running them again.

ModBargains did a little write up on my car with the F14's http://blog.modbargains.com/quick-sn...te-black-17x9/

Just an FYI, the wheel color is actually Black Graphite, not matte black.

I'm hoping to have my replacements by the end of the month. Still no issues with my thin or thick spokes.

Your replacement is causing a 2 month delay on my order!
