FedEx delivered them just before 8pm (EST) and I just finished mounting them. It took me 3 hours because I hit a snag... The fitment was perfect, but mine were custom powdercoated, so the center bore hugged too tightly to the wheel hub. There was no way to just slide them on, especially in the front. I luckily had a fine grit flexible sanding block, so I sanded off all of the surface debris from the wheel hub, and the powder coat from inside the center bore behind the cap. I was then able to really muscle it on to staying put, then I put in all of the lug studs loosely and began tightening them down over and over again until it finally seated itself. It had me really worried for a second.

I really do admit that the rims look absolutely breathtaking. I was in total disbelief when I finally stood back and looked at them. To my luck, I looked over a 1M this past week and the VMR fitment matches it exactly. Well done!

I finished at midnight, so I have no pics just yet. But they will be posted soon! The mounting and balance job with the Hankook's is perfect as well! I can tell VMR really took time and pride into working with my order! I hope you guys go far!

Pics to come...
