they look GREAT!
what is the set up? offset, size, etc... and you needed to run spacers?
PIA, i run summer and winter set-ups (new england) ... pulling off the spacers is a hassle to say the least.

love the wheels, looks very sharp!

Thanks. The wheels are 19 x 8.5 offset 51, and 19 x 10 offset 38. Tire size is Hankook Ventus V12 (for street use) 245/35 and 275/35. The reason I run spacers is because the car is lowered and my camber is set up for the track. If you're not lowered and running stock camber, you will be fine without spacers.

Yes, my car is lowered with an aggressive track alignment so I need to run spacers, if you're stock suspension, you won't need spacers.
