Looks beautiful, lightens up your car alot if you know what I mean. Don't tint your windows, or if you do tint it light, IMO. Congrats.

much improved over stock, though i like BBS mesh style centers best since it plays very close to porsche/bbs history

regardless quality wheels... kinesis/fikse/champion/HRE competition.. pretty much the same damn thing

Those are not Champion wheels. They do not make a wheel in that style. They look a lot like a wheel Brandywine Porsche is marketing (can't post the picture because it's too large). Brandywine's are forged in the same factory as Champions and are made for a narrow body with a different offset which maybe explains why you needed a spacer. They look just like Kinesis F110s except the area where the spokes meet the bolts is more rounded. Whatever they are, they look great.

It was only right rear side that needed spacer. so that means its not a wheel problem. it is my car's problem. left rear and fronts fitted perfectly.

and it is champion wheel. seller just told me "It says Champion Motorsport on the inside lip with all the specs"

so I am going to take a photo ASAP and upload it to prove it.

I wonder if just the wheel that needed a spacer is for a narrow body? Nice looking though.

Great looking shoes. Nice choice.

Strange that one wheel not fitting. The offset should be stamped on there somewhere. Check the boxes or take both wheels off and compare them. That doesn't sound normal. Not sure what you mean by the plastic cover.

why only two tires? very similar to the HRE's with 11 spokes. Offsets look abit more aggressive on the HRE's.
