Modular Wheels 8.5x18 and 10x18
#16
Three Wheelin'
They are not modular, they are single piece cast with the "wheel bolts" installed into blind holes simply for looks. I have seen the wheels in person, and I can tell you that they are good looking wheels. I am sure that they are a bit heavier then forged wheels, but probably not a lot heavier than the OEM cast twists, but that is just a guess. If you had problems, you probably won't get the support that Fiske, BBS, Kinesis, etc might give you, but for $700 a set, you can replace the entire set for less than the cost of one good forged wheel. My biggest concern would be that the "wheels bolts" looked like they were starting to rust on the wheels that I saw. Perhaps they are mild steel with a clear coat instead of stainless or titanium (duh). It looks like they might be a maintenance headache. Maybe arena993 can chime in and give his experience here.

I have had the wheels on the cars for 2 years now and no rust or issues. They are a great deal for the money IMHO. Now that being said my car is a garage kept car that never sees rain or is daily driven, but like 993 pilot said, "but for $700 a set, you can replace the entire set for less than the cost of one good forged wheel."

Lots of threads in the archives wrt suspension mods and lots of paths already blazed for you.

Ditto on what Mark said. Stock shocks are really a POS and need to be upgraded. Like Mark said this has been discussed here to death and the answer is always the same. Do the ROW MO30 with Bilstein HD's, springs and sways. The car really doesn't ride any more harsh, just planted and crisp the way it was intended.

I have my wheels on for two years now (not winter) and no signs of rust on the bolts...shipping cost me $200 so all up I paid $800....yes, heavier than standard by a few pounds. Suspension is PSSP and they carry P-Rossos at the moment but may change that next time.
I am not affiliated to the buyer in any way, but I cannot do anything but recommend these wheels for anybody that just wants good looking daily driver wheels that stand up to nasty potholed roads......Trinitony will confirm the look of these as he has seen them on my car many times
