just got them mounted today... front and rear rub over any dip in the road and on turning with anything above snail pace.......!
225/35 front and 255/30 rear!!!

Tires like the AD08, RE-11 and the NT-05 have very WIDE sidewalls and are in fact several mm wider than the stated size. Do you know exactly where it is you are rubbing?

It's really dissapointing to see all these issues on such a great looking wheel. I am shopping around to replace my Breytons and while I could deal with them only being in 19", I would hate to have to be constrained to a particular tire even when only running a 225/35. Right now I am lowered on H&R Sports/Koni Yellows and run 225/35 Star Specs.
I wish we would have the ability to run sizes like the ARC-8's.

Also, is the Sports Gunmetal EVER going to be produced or is it just not available at this time?

You can run 225/255 or 235/265. For 235/265 a small roll will take care of the issue. We can some customers running our 18" in 265/35/18 with a slight fender roll.

When you have a flat profile you can make a higher offset and accommodate a larger tire. For a 1-Series, however, a 265/30/19 is the largest we recommend for a daily driver. A 9.5" ET 62 is the same as a 9.0" ET 56 so that wheel sits about 8mm further in, a bit too tucked in for our liking.

Our next batch will include the original Sports Gunmetal.

HondaGoneRogue · 07-07-2011, 11:37 AM

So what is the largest recommended size for the front? That's where we need the most contact. It looks like we will find out what works and what doesn't (brand wise) here shortly.

Back home from a 2000 mile road trip...no rub what so ever on 225/265 Hankooks

HondaGoneRogue · 07-07-2011, 12:08 PM

Hankook RS3's?

The RE-11 is nice and rounded. I know so because I run 255/35/18 on my Alufelgen CS7 CSL 18s with zero issues, on my 3rd set. I am going with 265/30/19 for these SF-71s but haven't mounted them yet. The sidewall on the PSS is very square in comparison. FYI I am lowered too.

Ahhh, gotcha.

Rather than saying "I'll post the pic", why not just post the pic of the center cap and just ship it out asap, or can you just let us know you actually don't have it and will take another months to get it?

I`m posting them right now no need to be rude.

ALUFELGEN · 07-07-2011, 01:48 PM

Got the pics. Posting now.

MasterD678 · 07-07-2011, 02:33 PM

So where are the pics? I'm not trying to be rude, but we have waited for ages for the wheels and now it is taking forever just to get pics of the centercaps that I thought were just going to be done along with the wheels. You said "posting now" almost an hour ago. Those pics must be huge if it is taking this long to upload them.

I'm rude??? lol, you must be kidding me. you're the one trying to be rude in here. Did i ever really complain on the long wait for the rims. Did i ever complain the concave is no where near the original pic on icarbon car. Did i ever complain the lack of communication from you after we send you the money. All i'm saying is, if you have the pic. Just post it. no need to say i'll post the pic but the pic will never show up. And i'm just simply ask you is there another month wait for the center cap. And thats all. And you got mad, and calling me rude.... HAHAHA

ALUFELGEN · 07-07-2011, 02:54 PM

The caps are rough samples for you to get an idea.

Here is the flickr link for all the photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alufelg...7627016150461/

The OEM caps don't fit correctly. They barely fit in the hole in the center of the rim. I even test fit brand new center caps and they have the same problem. I've shoved them in there as close as I can so they don't fall off but they're still sticking out about 1/4 inch.

Garduna · 07-07-2011, 03:15 PM

Is it me or are the gloss rims using matte black center caps? -_-;
