Default Does anyone have these already?

I'm really considering these but they seem to be brand new. They look decent and the weight isn't too bad for the price. My concern is if they rub on the control arm in the front. People running 17x9+63 in the front seem to have issues with rubbing on the inner fender with 255 tires and the rim rubbing the control arm at full lock of the steering wheel. So is anyone running these non-stag? How are they?

I know several people on S2ki are running these. I believe the rubbing on full lock is pretty common with this size. Good budget wheel although they are a bit heavy. Nice to see them available in black.

I have 2 sets.

My track set has 225 hoosiers on them (have to run narrower to stay in my class). I don't think I'm getting much rubbing. I know they are slightly crushing my brake duct tubing though.

My street set is sitting in the garage. Putting them on tomorrow.

I am not sure about being heavy as they are 18.8 lbs. They are made for the guys that are racing with the same size on all four corners. What I have heard is they hit the inside fender liner.
If I can help let me know.

How long have you been running these wheels? I am just naturally weary of a $160 wheel, but these seem to be fairly endorsed. If you are running them with Hoosiers, then I should have very little to worry about as the most I can ever see myself using is NT01s. More than likely I will be on street tires for the lot of the time I own the car.

Thanks Jim! I will let you know. I am considering these or the Enkei RPF1's. Im just concerned and the fact that they are so new.

People are having issues with rubbing the control arm when at full droop. These wheels also rub at fool droop. During normal driving and auto-x I have yet to have these rub the control arm. I do get partial rubbing on the inner fender liner.

I'm lowered on KW v3's with 650lbs springs and a Saner bar.
