Just weird that there's a standard convex lug shape for all aftermarket wheels. Very strange.
I knew they wouldn't fit but didn't know why vOv

Also strange the forged nismo wheels don't follow the tuner model but w/e

Forged in fiery pits of Mordor.

Did you guys see Visconti's new pricing and release? $975 for a non dyno tuned setup? haha. No wonder they weren't responding to me. They jacked the price up $400.

you didn't see this from me

I would "Like" this, but since I did not see it...

Since I already have stud replacements, it'd be yet another stress point on the wheel bearings/hubs. I don't think it'd be worth it but thank you.

Yeah but they have a track record of huge results.

Yeah but so do other shops haha. Im not saying they aren't good. But RT is dyno tuning my FI build for less than that. Also anyone with bigger injectors/fuel pump/e85/FI will need the stage 2 and that's probably close to 1500. And if this was going to be the case then they shouldn't have told me $600 dynod.

I know they do on the GTR market but...this isn't a GTR so they will need to realize that. an extra $300 for a an extra 10whp? maybe

I have the extended lugs that came with my DRS spacers. Figured although not mandatory, they would probably be a good idea.

Seems like red is just a very saturated and therefore vulnerable color. The red in tattoos fades easily, it's hard to tint icing to a deep red without affecting the flavor, etc.
