I sent NL motoring an email asking about a warranty. Here's hoping.

Damn, sorry about that issue. If that happens to me I'll just buy a new wheel. They're so cheap anyways.

They got back wicked fast and said that XXR had a 1 year warranty on their finishes. Just have to ship them one and wait for a return. Probably just going to plastidip them

What suspension are you running? Did you have to do any fender work to get them to fit? Tire size? Sorry for the many questions!

Anyone with 18x9.75 +20? or 8.75 +20
Looking for pictures, what suspension you have, and if any fender work is needed.

There are a few pics on this thread. Instead of sifting through all the pages do a Google images search for fr-s xxr 527 I found them that way. In fact

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18661

Here you go a little down the page there is a silver fr-s with gold 527's +20 it looks sick!

One page back there is a guy with a firestorm sitting on 18x9.75 527's +20 and lowered as hell might ask him srt4_night_rider
