Yes I do have some rubbing issues from the rear. I got rid of that 5 spoke wheels, Porsche are good wheels. It feels lighter than the HRE when compared carrying it. So it's not bad compared to HRE, I was expecting HRE will be a lot lighter. It's bigger and wider that's why HRE is heavier , but It's a deal I can't refuse. I could fold & stretch my fender or send the wheels to HRE and they will take off 1 inch total to get more + offset. Or get my fender wider. Not sure what to do yet, I'm just driving normal and enjoying my cars new look. Thanks!

Tim, I would defenitely get it painted black when I get it done. Thanks for the suggestion I was thinking of matching it with my car color but theres other people that told me black also.

Ed,

Youre right on the first wheel at 7 o'clock, but the second wheel is not bent it has road rush. The offset on the rears are too agressive. I'm still very happy with the even swap. My old wheels I swaped needs new rear tires already, the front tires of this HRE are almost new atleast 90%. The rears are thick also but are not matching only one is a porsche tire. Worst come to worst I have to buy new wheels on the rears, but HRE could fix my current rear wheels.

Once again thanks for all your help and will post it when it's done!
