Default My new wheels Ace Alloy AFF02

Just received and installed my AFF02 from PK Auto Design and I am very pleased with the purchase experience as well as with how they turned out. I purchased them as a package with tires, sensors, and lugs and everything arrived in perfect condition. I also weighed the stock and new wheels, F- 56.0# stock, 54.8# AFF02, R- 63.4# stock, 61.4# AFF02.

Wow sick!!

What offsets are the wheels?

Looks like a lower offset over stock.

Thank you very much!! Both front and rear stick out a bit more, I like it although I may have to Xpel a little higher in the rear. I only have it up to the body line above the rear brake ducts.
Here are wheel specs:

The white car black wheel combo is always a bad *** looking result.

It would look better with black calipers.

I'm sure they look good, but based on the pictures, the lack of contrast makes them difficult to see at all.

Adjusted the pics some to help see wheel better. Of course now my car is the same color as a Carbon 65.

They are very nice indeed and suit the car well! I would say that you gained close to 1" in the rear offset and at least 3/4" in the front. They appear to be very flush with the fender lips, which is exactly how it should be! I would bet you have close to 2" more track width in the rear now!

You'll need to add more film to those areas...because they're going to throw up more sand and rocks than you can imagine.

I did the same thing by adding Cray wheels on my Z, also with a huge offset, and while they look fantastic now...rocks and sand chips are far more so than before.

My phone took forever to load your pics BUT it was worth the wait! Great looking car.

Are these wheels lighter than stock?

Also, I've gone through 3 stock OEM wheels as they are really seem to crack or bend easily. I wonder if the wheels you have are stronger.
