its coming over from Karbonius, not too sure on the fit, I've read that some of the covers need a little…. persuasion?

Yes on stock wheels, and lowered on H&R coilovers set as high as it will go. The rears tires (not wheels) are flush with the fenders, and the fronts are still about 5mm sunk in. No rubbing, but other factors can play into that like camber and profile.
I would not go 10mm unless you are fine with having to file or grind about a mil off the hub lip. The lip on my rear hubs are just below 11mm. But then again your hub lips could be just fine....... I guess measure before you buy.....

I like these wheels. Can you give me any more info, where you got them, the wheel offsets etc? Nice.

What did you use for the white lettering on the tires? I've been researching exactly this lately. I've found a few options. Yours looks really good and I have Hankooks as well.

PM me before you buy though, I bought an extra "single logo" hankook set accidentally, I'll give you a killer deal on them.

Did you need to use spacers or is the fitment good without? Do you know the weight of the rim only? I really do like these.

yeah my Tekarbon one was a little more work that I wanted when I installed it. If I had a dremel handy it would have been easier, but I didn't so it took a lot of wiggling and pressure as the holes didn't line up with the studs. I mostly had issues with one of the studs not having enough space for the nut to go back on and in my attempt to persuade it on the nut fell into the space under the intake manifold and was lost forever.

The holes on my stock cover don't line up very well with the studs, so I guess it's par.

Do they offer a $15 Rolex to wear while driving a car equipped with these?

Just got around to installing this today as well.

The front lower hole is indeed about a mm off. Quick dremel work to widen the hole as well as the well where the nut sits. All good now! Now my engine bay is CF balanced.
