That awesome. I figured you were painted the whole car cause it was all sanded. Can't wait to see the custom color.

When are you getting it out of the shop?

How did you get the rear to flare out like that?

^ It could take 45 days to get a replacement! That's like waiting all over again. I'm really tempted to just put them on. Either way I'm already ____ed off about my purchase. I really don't want to wait another 45 days while they keep my money.

They should at least give a store credit or partial refund for that wheel. The silver ones are $340 a piece so the SBC ones should be a little more. Repairing it wouldn't be easy because of the SBC coating. Were the wheels double boxed for shipping?

For as much as they cost you would think they'd double box them. My DPTs came 2 wheels per box and each individual wheel had its own box. No damage and that's from CA to GA via UPS.

That must be how Rota ships them. :shrug:

My first set of RPF1s came the same way - one box.

I was thinking about that, maybe it was a distance thing because mine were shipped from denton texas I believe to oklahoma city which is like a 3-4 hour drive so maybe thats why.

Lol. Don't forget mass production. You wouldn't have to wait so long for a replacement if these were Rotas. I'd have a new one within 5 days. My impatience is hook yo

i dont see the point of running larger spacers and adding more camber when you could just run a smaller size spacer with less camber...

^ I think thats what I wanna do as of right now. Just be flush, no poke, with like -3ish camber. I'm at like -3.8 now, so I wanna go a tiny bit more positive to flush it out. But I'm sure I'll want moar poke in the future. Who knows.

8mm slip on spacers will give you about 10 threads to work with i believe. maybe a few more than that, its not much.
