Hey Jee...what size and offset did you use on your new wheels? Is the offset same as OEM wheels?

Default OEMs have a 45 offset. Mine are 18s with a 35 offset...

The fronts have a 6mm spacer to clear the calipers.

The problem I mentioned before had to do with a possible air leak in the wheel. Turned out the silicon bead that was used to cover up the two rim halves wasn't doing its job. It's been corrected and I'm going to wait the rest of this week to monitor if everything is OK.

What wheels are you thinking about?

I like the Racing Hart C5's if they fit,or another flat-face 5-spoke 2/3 pc...look great on the S4.
