notice how the cap sticks out about 1cm, really not a big deal. you can't see it the gap at all. they actually end up matching really good in colour. looks part of the rim. lots of people ask if they were stock.....

Looks awesome, Kronix. Could you post a larger (zoom out) pic of your wheel? I want to see how it looks like with your boxs.

They are on now. I will post some pictures in a little bit. No, its not lowered...yet. I want the ROW kit, maybe christmas. I was thinking of doing my crests like that, but I tried it last night and I am not sure it looks all that great. I might get some aluminum sheet or something and cut circles to fit the hole and screw them on and put a porsche sticker on that. I will mess around with it. Ya, I got the 275's. Did your car vibrate a little right after you got them on? Because with all this talk of the tires being the cause, I dont know if I should call tirerack today or wait a couple hundred miles.

I would reccommend 285 in the rears. 275s stretch on a 10" wheel so its gonna stretch even more on 10.5". I run 285/30/18 on my 10" in the back with no problems

well that sucks he already bought the 275, but shouldnt be a problem. i didnt know that they had to stretch the 275 on a 10.5. but i would trust that you are right. i personally dont understand this stretching business......

i had a bit of vibration, do an alignment, and get them to set the camber/toe. apparently mine was completly out of whack. meaning that i had no camber or toe set. but my car was also lowered 1 inch, so they had to adjust the toe/camber. I also don't have too much knowledge about camber and toe other then in my honda i did not do this and i was going throught a new set of tires every year...lowered 2 1/2 inches though.

the other thing with this vibration issue......somedays i get a little bit of vibration and somedays i dont.....very minimal. check the warranty, drive a little on them, and it should go away. i know i havent felt any vibration lately.
