you can always sell them down the line... im sure you would get more for those and it would be easier to sell than the m34/m45 sport wheels

you know people are in these forums. More than half don't know what a forged wheel is let alone Cp F-tunes. I would see post like..."I've seen wheels that look a like them for $500 with tires." or "Dont mean to lowball, but would you take $500 shipped" blah... blah...I'd be in thse wheels for like 3 grand with tires. If I could get the M35 wheels for like $1500 for example... I could still probably sell them for like $800-$1000 if I took car of them...but the special wheels like F-Tunes...forget about it...I'd be better off with Volks at lease most people would recognize them....Racing Hart got bastardize by that RH line from DAzz... so no everyone thinks that Racing Hart and RH are the same and people think less of these... but now thinking about it... strangely this doesn't apply to Rays wheels... G-Games, Gram Lights, Lexion, Volk... even coupe 19's... anyone see the word Rays...and bam they're awesome wheels....

I'll try to make time to take a straight shot of it with the tire on. For now, here is a pic when I first bought the rim.

I know you're joking, but I have never flaked on a sale or a purchase. If anyone is really down for the rims, I could always work out some way to ship them if you're not local.

Ok so we need ot run a spacer for the front because the wont clear the suspension. Does anyone know if it's the tire that's not clearing or the rim. So if I ran a coupe 19 tire size... 225-40-19 will this clear??

OK... So according to some, 5mm spacers might let it clear. Can we run them without the longer studs? just the factory, cause it's only a 1/4 inch spacer.

So Chad sends me a message apologizing for the mishap and told me that I can buy them at the old price. So he came through. Now the only thing I need to figure out is how to get my butt back down there...oh... if you see this, thanks Chad

I have M45 wheels on my 06 Sedan....used a 1/4 inch spacer on front with the factory wheel studs. But I used a 35 series tire also. Have had no problems.

Curious - if you use the factory wheel studs....aren't they too short considering you're losing 1/4" of threads? Sounds dangerous...unless I'm not understanding correctly.

I ask the same question, the shop that put the wheels on told me it would be ok after they put them on and tried the wheels on the car. So far have had no problems.. But i keep a check on things also...
