tri is infamous around these parts
i remember asking you about this and asking for their offsets... you brushed me off saying they wouldn't fit... i had a hunch that HRE's offset was conservative enough to fit agressively on a narrow body.

I did not brush you off. Ask GT3GRL. I told them they could buy them but they would not fit. This was information passed on to me by HRE. I would think you would appreciate me not wanting to sell you something that will not fit.

Anyways this batch of clearance wheels does and they are cheap. So if you want a set, let me know.

Just be careful and watch for slung dirt/sand/pebbles for the first few days. Those look like they could throw debris on the fender paint.
