think you are right. does DPE disclose their offsets? Triple8sol should know. either way they are really nice.

If all you've got at home is a tape measure or ruler, I would think it would be pretty hard to be accurate?

UPDATE:

ok, the guy i bought them from told me the incorrect widths of the wheels.

he told me they were 20x9 and 20x10.5 after reasearch i found that DPE doesnt make 10.5 well then i thought maybe he just measured wrong or something...

so get them in and before inspecting them i take them to get repolished like an idiot...get them back, look amazing then get the tires mounted...

take the car home and it just looks really wrong based on the info he gave me. So i decide to take them off because i had to put my new lugs on anyway. I inspected the inside of the barrel and inprinted it clearly states, 20x9.5 and this was the rear!!!!!

turns out that the fronts were 20x8 and the rear were 20x9.5.

so instead of starting a huge argument with the guy i didnt even contact him about this, i could have tried to get my money back but i was already $400 into the wheels from polishing.

I recently sold them to a buddy of mine with a G37 and wow, they look absolutely amazing and fit perfect!

Sooo, i recently purchased a new set of wheels which will actually be here friday and ill post those up. I definately made 100% sure that they are the correct width and offset haha.
