I would think that the Sport Rays are built correctly. I have a touring without the sport package, so that's why I wanted new wheels to begin with.
Sorry.. I probably didn't explain well enough. "Correctly" is probably a bad word to use.

It's much better to use a wheel with the offset to achieve the look that's you're looking for instead of running a spacer to acheive that.

The factory sport wheels are what they are, and guys who want a flush look add spacers (obviously they're not going to create a whole new wheel).

If you're getting wheels, ideally you would get some with the offset to acheive the level of flushness you'd like, instead of adding spacers to them. But this may only be possible if the wheel exists, or you're having custom wheels made, and can choose your offsets.
