Were you able to figure out why the front wheels stick out more than the production 1LEs? I'm interested in the same wheels.

Could the wider rear wheel have gotten the wrong tire mounted to it and then put on the front? A 1 inch wider wheel could be a bit easy to mix up. After the tires were put on you wouldn't notice at all probably.

From the pictures posted, the red one looks flush and the OP's poke out significantly further.

I think a lot of buyers are hung up on price and 10"/11" F/R vs most aftermarkets costing more and offering smaller widths.

I wanted the Z28 style instead of the 1LE style so I went with the Stance SF-06 wheels over the cast MRR M228 because the Stance wheels are rotary forged and only weigh 25lbs and that's for 20x10 / 20x11s.

People will pay more for OEM for a variety of reasons. The OEM wheels have been crash and impact tested, aftermarket aren’t. OEM wheels carry all necessary regulatory stamping for road use as well as track days, do the MRR knockoffs?

And some just like to have originals, **** fakes.

SS rear wheel assembly: 29.3kg = 64.6lbs
1LE rear wheel assy: 28.4kg = 62.6lbs

The front wheels were exactly the same at 27kg = 59.5lbs for the SS and 1LE assy.

While driving the car one thing becomes immediately clear, the OEM Run Flat are so hard, Jesus, the car is so smooth now, way better comfort on the Supercar 3.

As for the set up, I really love the way they look, specially the rears that sit flush with the top of the fender, However I hate the fronts, because they stick out so much.
I can only guess that is due to the brake rotor difference from the SS to the 1LE.

Any suggestions? Mill the front wheels to increase the offset?

Just for curiosity, see tire height difference, 285; 305; 275 respectively.






See the fronts how they stick out.







Can you repost the pictures?
