That's the wheel I have. they look awesome. I jokingly said that the wheels come "pre-curbed" cause the machined ring looked strange to me at first, like a wheel that has scrapped along the curb. Anyhoo, one important thing to have in mind when buying this wheel is that it comes in different face configurations. On my car, I have Standard face on the front and GTR face on the rear. The GTR face is the one shown here, which is the one with the most concavity.
I just got a set of RS3 in 18x9. Let me know if you want details. I might be able to upload a vid this weekend (obviously won't be as good as Peter's :).
You're one of those folks that doesn't know about the wheel process made.i recommend you to watch the difference of each 1. Gravity cast 2. Low pressure cast 3. Rotary forged or aka flow-formed cast & mold-formed cast (only the barrel is forged and the spokes are either gravity or low pressure casts but it stretched to get the specific width using a rotary machine) 4. fully forged (the whole piece is forged)
Was shopping on this Advan Racing's eBay store for a set of Rev9 coilovers. I asked them a legitimate question about the product, whether they required any modifications to install. They responded and I thanked them. Went back the next day to purchase the set and they had blocked me from buying from them. So I gave my $600 to another seller. Very prick thing for a business to do.
Adding spacers definitely does not make the car perform better unless it's specifically modified to work best with a lower offset. Also, these definitely are not affordable wheels.
