You're getting new wheels?

Sweet! Get a heat gun and a rubber mallet and get to work

nope - thats just how long they took from Volk... I think it might have been the color choice (titanium gunmetal instead of regular gunmetal)... Vendor warned me it would be that long even though everyone else (including Mackin) said 8-12 weeks

too expensive and too long of a wait - not really worth it actually... but at least they are rare on a sedan

wait unless you want to CUT the piece that is ROLLED and THEN pull it?

if so.. wouldnt that fender be REALLY thin? causing it to crack and all?

Doesn't completely shaving it (to the point where it actually has more clearance than a flat rolled fender) make it lose some of its rigidity?

no really, i don't see how flaring/pulling won't do the trick unless you're getting an obscenely huge wheel which will just look retarded, but its up 2 u your car

^+1, I'd just have Shane roll the heck out of it and do a mild pull/flare.

Can't wait to see what kind of wheels you are getting Aaron!
