I THOUGHT SO TOO......when i installed them nothing came on...but one day i was driving highway speeds for about 30-45 minutes and it popped on....The light only came on twice since i put rims on it....both after 30-45 min of driving (or so)....My car is a 04.5 6MT

so I'm stuck with the wait. Got mines for 2200 shipped. If I could cancel, I'd go with some other rims. *kinda hate volk racing/rays engineering now* THanks for the offer though.

sweet jesus that's a low price...
anyway, I don't think Volk/Rays is at fault, I special ordered mine 12 weeks ago and they showed up right on time... my distributor said they've only had one set in the last 6 years that took more than 3 months to get from Volk... are you sure Mackin didn't drop the ball??

hey, whats the exact date when you ordered your rims? I wanna show it to the shop as an example of those who special ordered their rims and see if he can contact mackin and/or rays about my wheels. this is so frustrating.

This is my first post. After lots of reading, I ordered the SF Challenges 19 x 9.5 +23 rears, 19 x 8.5 +21 fronts for my coupe. I'll get the Eibach prokit installed when the wheels come in (about 3 months they tell me). I wanted a setup that won't rub and won't require any fender modifications.
Then it occurred to me, I frequently roll with 1-3 passengers in the car. Anybody with this setup have rubbing problems when your ride is full?

Bzabodyn, if i read your post correctly that means a +19 offset is the same as +29 offset plus a 10mm spacer? like the wheel position are the same after the spacer? is there any downside as using a spacer just in case it doesnt fit?
