A few more questions if you don't mind.

I know these wheels are not hubcentric for our cars - how is the centering ring setup and are you getting any vibrations? Is there anything negative about the wheels you have to say, in comparison to other aftermarket wheels?

Also, what aspect ratios are your tires?

Thanks

It's not the wheels that cause the gap; it's the diameter of the tire...

Looks like the stock wheel is 22-23lbs. Front RE050 is 27lbs, Rear is 28lbs.

Not bad from a weight perspective.
