Do you think the ET38 will have issues with clearing the shock / brakes without a spacer? I have the 5mm spacers already, so that'd bring the offset to ET33 (closer to bottlecap fitment).
Also, I'm unable to seperate the parts of the wheel because of whatever sealant BBS used, and my oven is too small to stick the wheel in to loosen it up. Any pointers?
Cut the seal with a razor, all the way around (should do this anyway), and use a heat gun around the entire seam. Do it for a few minutes, and the halves should split quite easily...

Actually, the issue with mine was that the .5" lip was a pain to separate from the faces because I didn't have enough room to get the seal with a razor, I was just cutting the very edge of the sealant. I could tell the lip was able to budge with the mallet, but I didn't get enough leverage somehow.
All I ended up doing was prying the lips off with a large flathead screwdriver, worked like a charm.
Edit: Somehow, even a blowtorch didn't work.///Z

I use a hammer before I use any heat, and sometimes it works (most of the time) if not, than I use a heatgun, and then they split apart, quite easily.
While your here hex, Ill voice a warning for others. Steer clear of this guy, folks, he burnt me BADDDD on a set of rs285's...
Price was not horrible, and he offered a refund, but the issue was that he was VERY dishonest about how he described them.
Let me know if you'd like to see the pics of these things...
I dont like you dude, Im trying to be an adult about this whole thing, but do me a favor, and dont quote my post's. It just reminds me of how pissed I am, and how bad you SUCK.

Found a couple sets of 1/4 caps guy wants around $11- for each set, but need refinishing. Not a big deal as they would have to be done to match wheels anyway. How rare are these and does that sound like a fair price?
Pics of what he sent
