Finally got new wheels!
Raised my car prolly 1/4 of an inch today, hopefully it solves my rubbing issues. Noticed that the left side was maybe 1/8th of an inch lower than the right side too, so I balanced those out as well.

Lookin good Plainandsimpo, one thing though - your Passenger front tire is on backwards, When looking at the tire from the top- the grooves should all point toward the FRONT of the car - other than that, nice ride
thanks for the comment everyone lol i had to raise the car a bit cause of rubbing but other then that its awsome ....and TEALEM thanks for telling me ..i was wondering that tooooo i was like why the driver side of the tires point forward and the right isnt....and the rotation thingy shows both ways???then i look it up and it says this "Symmetric non-directional tread pattern which simplifies rotation"???so im guessing they dont matter ...witch side i put em .. on..im not sure myself ..but if im wrong please correct me and tell me.. thank guys PS..metal lol i wanted mines in gold but...they were special edi?? or something and cost more/.i think
hahha nvrdone =) yealp i think you will need fender work if your planning to run 215s .. ...the 205s i have on already have a chunk missing from me dumping my car tooo low ...i have to say it looks nice when it barely have a gap between the tire and the fender...lol so i tried to roll the fender... but paint started crackin =) with heat gun too....so i just gave up and raised it about an inch ...no rub .. so far..but i eventually will have my fenders rolled and dump my car again =) yealp take soem more pics =)) !@!!!when you finish with it...
metal did you happen to find out the camber specs and could you take a straight up and down pic of the front and rear? I think I'm going to get the shine ventless front fenders and I would like a visual for your fitment as I have spec alignment.
-Thanks

pic of my car on the track with the 16x7s 38mm offset taken just this past weekend.
For those considering these rims be warned that the little fake chrome screws that make it look like a two piece rim come out very easily. Ive lost probably a dozen already on the track. I finally got fed up and im going to be pulling them all out before the next event. I dont care because they are track wheels and get beat to hell by brake dust anyway but for those who like the apperance you might want to get some green locktite and pull them all for a dab.
