I am seriously considering buying those same wheels, I like the way they look. Just wondering if you have any side shots so I can see how well they fill the wheel wells? I want 18's but they only come in 17...

DO NOT!!!!! I REPEAT!!!! DO NOT BUY THOSE WHEELS!!!!

I found out last week that 3 of mine have cracked on the inner lip. They are cheap junk. I've only had them on the car for 4 months and they already gave way to stress. I wouldn't want someone else with this burden.

The worst part is there is no warranty because according to the company (American Alloys) the damage is due to impact and not a defect.

Cheap SOB's!

Again, DON'T BUY THE RIMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen the ss with catback done that they only got an increase of 3 HP and 3 TQ. doing the header and down pipe addresses all of the issues than just looking at a catback. your cat is usually the most restrictive part. and as far as the down pipe and manifold goes everything will add up. Hope that helps.

Not being a ***** just trying to help with this. Did you consider that it may have happened during the install? that is considered as impact to a wheel manufacturer.

I dont think its right though. the company should do something for you. Did you ask if they would sell you one at cost? but really you shouldnt have to pay but they got you by the curlies so be nice. sorry that happened to you.

EDIT: I wanted to say I like what you have done to the car. It is shaping up to be very nice.

Thanks for the advice. I have a feeling that it was done during install aswell since thats what powel motorsport was suggesting.

And thanks for the comment. Much appreciated!
