Dude, just open the door and jump on the door sill repeatedly.
 Actually, strut clearance could change with tire deformation under cornering with compression, no? |

Those wheels are awesome and perfect size. I might have to reconsider these.

So torn between these and the OZ Ultraleggeras in 17x8 - these are 2 pounds lighter but almost 600$ more for the set. More pictures are needed.

I am really liking these wheels. If only I could do hubcentric rings and center caps at the same time.

Looks great. It's a bit hard to tell...do the fronts poke a little? The +42 looks pretty perfect on the 8" wheel.
Ok for a wheel newb can you explain the need for hub centric rings...and can you not use both rings and center caps? |

Hubcentric rings fit between the wheel and a raised lip around the center of the hub. Using a hubcentric wheel or rings directs forces acting on the wheel to be transferred directly to the hub rather than the lugs. It a stronger way to mount the wheel than just the lugs. As for using rings and caps together, normally you can. But from what I understand, these particular wheels are milled in such a way that it is one or the other, but not both. |

DAMNNN!! Nice choice of wheel.. lightweight and GOOD LOOKS.
Here is a guy who has great taste!!  If your after hubcentric rings and caps check out perfectrun.jp  They also carry the AL-type allow racing nuts too(each nut weighs the same as a AA battery) |
