Haha I did say some folks don’t like them!! I wasn’t a fan at first either but the ultra light weight and strength are undeniable; not to mention performance delta 18" to 19"

Tangible

They don't fit at all.



Funny thing about these wheels for me is that I actually like the wheel design by itself, but I don't think it looks very good on a car.
