You might want to check out refurbished. That's what I did recently to say OE but keep the price reasonable. I wanted the stamped, which made it a lot tougher.

Where do you find them Refurbed? BTW, your car looks clean!

Thanks. I worked with All Factory Wheels out of Long Island. Took quite some time, but satisfied in the end. Whole story detailed here: http://cparente.wordpress.com/2012/0...thday-present/

Yeah going refurbished would be cheaper, but at the same time, I have to wonder about the finish. I did some research a couple months ago, and in order to do a full factory-like refinish,you will have to re-anodize them. A good wheel repair shop can duplicate the finish but it still won't have the protection like anodization will. Stamped is obviously different, but much easier to match due to the uniformity of the finish.

Good Write Up! they have the one i am looking for, it is $325, but it does not have the ///M sticker in it, and looks like there is waves from paint or something? or is that just me?

Is it possible to run square rears 8.5 on all four corners with 245 40 all around

If I were you, I would look at buying a new wheel vs going with a supposedly refinished wheel. For $325, you are not that far away for the money it would cost for a brand new wheel. The new ones I've seen are around $375 for the 8.5" and $350 for a 7.5". These prices are for the polished LTWs.

I drive my cars HARD. I promise I can tell the difference on the street or anywhere else you care to drive them. I have run both squared 7.5's and squared 8.5's and of course staggered, and it is an obvious thing right off the bat. Regardless of tire used a squared setup will be more neutral and balanced. Staggered setups will always have more understeer as well.

Exactly what I found when I went to a 235 square setup.
