Mike has been running them for over a year now with a large camber angle so I wouldn't be too worried about em so long as they are from a reputable source and made of a good hard steel that won't give much.

Convex wheels are what you need to watch for with the Brembos. Depending on the offset that you want to run, The spokes on this wheel actually create more room for the brakes, unlike a wheel where the spokes turn in. I know that these spokes do turn in, but they leave a lot of room for fitment because the turn in is right at the outter rim of the wheel.

Does anyone have a picture of said shims? I'm interested to see how they are setup. I haven't really looked at the rear suspension setup on our cars too closely... lol

They go between the hub and rear swingarm, just spaces the bottom out a tad. Here's something for Ford Focus, it's not the same swingarm since we have a single swingarm for both sides, but you can see the difference. http://www.moogproblemsolver.com/_pd..._K80002_En.pdf

Oh and it looks like Mike(ff_drift_lol) found shims back in 2009
