    Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm psyched for my first wheel build/refinish. I'm thinking i'll leave the centers bright like they are to make the wheels appear bigger.

      It's a shame they aren't 16's.

        Even though they're only 15's I like them a lot. I agree with you too, leave the centers as is and just get some bigger lips for them. They will look great with more dish! It's a classy looking wheel for sure.

          You dont think it would look nicer with 8.5s all around? Either way, I like those wheels a lot. Good luck, its going to be worth it!

              Building your own wheels is so satisfying. I am so attached to my RM's b/c of it. I almost got rid of them once, and at the end of the day i couldnt do it. On a side note... your new wheels are what came on the e30 Dinan turbo's from Dinan.

                Thanks for the info bit Dave. Right now i'm double checking #'s to make sure my offsets will end up correct. :D I can't wait.

                  Well an inch is 12mm, so 1.5" = 18mm for a final offset of 10mm, and 16mm for the front.

                  Amirite?

                  Looks great as it sits now. Haters gonna hate!

                        True story, I doubt I'll be able to ever sell my RS's and I'm not even done with them.

                        They do look good, can't wait to see em with some bigger lips

                            The only reason I'm thinking I should do a staggered setup is because the rear needs a bit more to fill out the fenders.

                            Most confusing post ever. At least you found a way around the one word response.

                                I think he was referring to the offset change when adding 1" of lip.
