                Shipment was fast. However, I'm not sure about the quality of the paint job on the wheels. Bunch of dimples on the wheels. I must have got a set that was a quick job. Anyone else get similar spots like mine? Just trying to figure out if this is normal cause they are reps and lower grade supplier.

                    did you order the correct offset for IX ET 35? The wheel hub hole being off is a problem.

                        So what's happening with the center bore? You're saying it's not centered with the lug holes? just trying to make sense of this.

                          It is centered, i dont know the reason why the caliper carrier was in the way of the inner part of the wheel.

                              My buddy had the same issue when he got his a few years ago. They were also the 5 lug cast models as these appear to be. You just need to remove some material from the inner part of the wheels. I forget what we used exactly, maybe sandpaper or file. They were totally fine afterwards.

                                When i say center, i mean the wheel center cover, but i just notice, the wheel cover got a fixed tab that need to be in a certain area of the wheel to work as it should be, sorry for been a noob on that lolll.
