I got hit by what looks like a hitch. My car was parked in a public lot and I remember seeing a truck in front of my car.

The car is going into paint soon so I'll have a brand new setup. Same bumper but different hood, new fender work, and bigger/badder wheel/tire setup.

Looks really good. I'm considering those wheels but so few people have them it's hard to tell which size looks best. Do you know how the 17x8.5 looks? I'm guessing they don't concave.

Also, I'm guessing you relocated the bumper tabs and pulled the fenders some?

Yes, if you look closely, my fenders front and rear have been pulled/rolled/flared out a lot. So much so that the rear quarter panel buckled. I'll have all that repaired by the paint shop real soon.

There is a chart somewhere that tells you exactly what sizes and/or offsets concave. In fact, most wheels manufacturers provide similar charts except for Volk.

Yeah, after I posted I looked more closely at your front fenders and saw that. I didn't even notice the buckle. That sucks. I'm looking to do as little fender modding as necessary but I really like those wheels and I don't want to get the 8.5 rims without seeming them on an S2K first. I've seen SSR's site and they list some rims as have a "Deep Face".

Thanks for reposting. For some reason, I'm not able to view your first photo.
