OP Congrats on the wheels! Keep us updated on how well they handle pot holes.

I've put about 200 miles on these already since I mounted them up; mixed highway and stop/go. The wheels are balanced well and the car rides perfect. It doesn't pull and tracks straight; I measured the camber and it's -1 degree in the front and -1.3 degree in the rear. I will get an official alignment soon but I suspect it will be fine (aside from perhaps the camber). They appear to be well balanced from the factory; in fact, on one of the rear wheels, just one small wheel weight on the inside lip--no weights on the inside surface. All the others have a small weight on the inside lip with 4-6 stick-on weights on the inside surface.
I guess time will tell on the quality but as far as I can tell so far, the quality is good...

Here are the long awaited pics. And I will add, don't rely on NTB to order tires for you. If they don't have them in stock, walk away and place an order with Tire Rack and carry them in to get mounted up. (Maybe my bad experience is only with my local store--bunch of rookies.) Anyway...
My car is on F-Sport springs and the tires are Summitomo HTR Z III's at 225/35-19 front and 255/35-19 rear. No rubbing issues at all and and I'm very happy:
When it's time for a new set of tires, I think I'm going to go with 235/35-19 fronts and 265/35-19 rears. Heck maybe even 245/30-19 and 275/30-19 would work on these rims...

These look great. Only thing im on the fence about is the strength of the wheels. Ive had a bad experience with replica wheels. Anyone have any insight about these?
