What size spacers did you go with? im thinking that is the cheaper alternative to wheels for the time being.

5/16" or 8mm cast aluminum sandwich spacer. Stock wheels studs and lugs.
Had them on for 8 months. Haven't taken the wheels off since to inspect how they are holding up though. The could have crumbled in there for all I know. The were very cheap chinese crap from Jegs. Think I paid like $20 or something for all 4. They had some casting spurs on them which I sanded off before installing. No vibrations or anything like that.

They really don't make that much of a difference, but I have like -3 degrees camber in the front so I needed something to make it look not so terrible.

My car is black and I don't love the grey wheels either. They definitely look better to my eye with the grey and white colored cars shown in the thread. I'm considering having the painted/powder coated black as a cheaper alternative to getting new wheels.

They almost look like wheel covers to me...

Hey guys,

I actually really like the PP wheels. The 10-12' version is a bit more aggressive to my eye but the 13-14's are cool too. I think if you painted the grey pockets flat black they would look better on all color PP cars.

That said if you guys hate them so much lets make a deal since I'd love a set of PP 19's.

I got a Grey set with about 4k on them, Make me an offer and you pick them up. I got some Carrol Shelby CS1's sitting in the basement. Just waiting on some warm weather to put them on,

I too didn't like them when I first started shopping for my 2014. Originally I wanted a silver one but didn't like the looks of it with the PP wheels. Then I saw a gray one with these wheels and I liked it so that's what I got.

Holy crap. I can't believe someone stole your suspension. Did you fill out a police report?
