Wheels look great and that finish suites really well. Was hard to tell in the shaded single pic.... also almost looked like you vinyl’d the Center of the lip.

Thanks guys...coming together nicely.

Indeed they are RedSport 19x9 +37 squares. I think I am going to end up throwing a 5mm spacer on all 4 corners.

I replaced my gas cap a while ago because of the evap leak CEL, and it worked! but then today I dropped the new cap on the floor, and now I broke it internally I guess, and the code is back. FML.

Decided to take the tires off my 20"s and paint the wheels black. But SURPRISE!!!!! The downside of driving with low profile tires on ****ty roads caught up with me...

Unfortunately only a 1 year warranty. Inforged is a Taiwanese brand, doubt I would have any luck with that in Canada anyways. I'll get it welded up for $100. Just sucks that yet another expense added to my list. Going to get them repaired, paint them, and sell them. Might have a harder time selling them now that this happened. Not everyone will want repaired wheels. I have my eyes on a set of BBS wheels I like. Tough finding the offsets I want on pre-made wheels with the width that I want. Hopefully I can find something with 9.5 width and 20ish offset. I love the fitment on my winter wheels with 9.5 +28. Could be a tiny bit more aggressive, so anything between 20 and 25.

My impulsive self is looking at this: https://www.sparktecmotorsports.com/...55114ma20.html
But my practical self cant force itself to spend that much money on a 7 year old car with 123 k km on it.

My only comment is the resale value on the wheels will be the same at the end, no matter how old the car is that they carried.... unless you’re suggesting the G isn’t going to be in the stable long enough to see Value. You should have no problem getting 60% back in resale? ($200 a wheel)

I'll probably hold onto the G for 2 more years. Going to see how my tax return is this year. Who knows, maybe I'll bite the bullet. At that price though, opens up some Volk options.

Careful going down that path lol... my decision definitely pushed back the schedule on other pieces. but i'm back in the game this spring with brakes.

If you know anyone looking for Akebono's (VQNorth) I will have some to pass along in a couple months.
