Wow, they look fantastic, just curious with such a high ET on the rear are spacers required to avoid any issues with the inside of the tyre rubbing on suspension components?

No spacers necessary. We have plenty of clearance on that side of the hub. I used to run a ten inch wide wheel with just as high of offsets.

No spacers should be necessary!

Love these wheels.
But the car is hot

Why did you choose Perf bumper over say a 1m lookalike

Do these come in 18's with a similar offset? I.e. 8.5 ET45 front and 9.5 ET60ish rear.

Can we expect any more wheels in these 1-friendly offsets?

Good stuff. I like the design of these more than the APEX ARC-8's...they have a bit more concavity. VMR's easier to get into Australia. ARC-8's (18x8.5ET45 / 18x9.5ER62) are similar specced, but rather these as a track wheel as I cant be bothered paying shipping and customs etc.

How much do these go for? Around the 1k mark?

They are more expensive than our standard cast wheels, but they're definitely a great value for the money you pay. PM or email me for more info.

Yeah! Hopefully we'll have a couple extra flow formed models by then.

19" V810s are roughly 22 pounds. 18" ones are in transit to our warehouse now, so we'll be able to officially weigh them shortly!
