About 7 weeks, but I was in no hurry

Does anyone have a point of contact to the manager/owner of Augmented wheels? I have a few questions regarding the manufacturing process and origin of the wheels. Thanks in advance!

Here are some photos as promised. I’m in love with the GT wheels and I think the silver adds a lot of contrast. The fitment also looks pretty perfect to me and I wouldn’t change it.

The specs are:

20x8.5 ET46
20x11 ET58

Running 305s in the back. The only thing is the installer nicked both of the front wheels which is such a shame. Blemishes before I even put any miles on it. Working with their insurance and shopping some repair shops to fix it. So I may have to take the wheels off soon sadly.

@BlueShell

Love the wheels.

Debating going for a set for my GTS, but trying to sort out the perfect offset.

I'm in the same boat. While I love GT3 wheels they tuck in too much on the front. As I love GT3 wheels and 50th wheels, I actually emailed to Dan@Augment Wheel Company what offsets would be the best.
This is our stock center lock wheel specs (center lock) - Thanks to the Wheelsboutique for info.

Your wheels look great. Hope their finishes are much stronger than OEM. I know OEM GT3 wheels are know for easy chipping.

But the stock GTS wheels could be pushed out a touch.

Thanks for posting.
