Well had a little bad news today!
Managed to get the tires mounted and.........the wheels just touch the front caliper......
I guess that is what you go through to be the prototype vehicle,LOL!
Been on the phone with DPE and they said to ship the wheels back and they will remedy the problem...
But here are a couple of pics anyways!

They look OK, good thing you found out they were rubbing the front caliper before I put them on my car.
BTW it looks like your alignment is out, the inside edge of the tire that you took off looks like it is wearing quickly.

Yes, those are awesome looking! Love the rear wheel 'dish' - exactly what I was searching for. Now I have a C4 - are your calipers hitting the wheel because they're red ones or does it not matter whatever calipers you have??
Very nice though!!

The front is the same on the C2(S) as the C4(S), it is not enough clearance on the inside of the wheel.

Oh man, that's a bummer. Not sure how they are going to "fix" that. Aren't those 1 piece wheels? Not like you can shave the hub a few mm, you need to go the other way. Hope it works out okay for you.

Rep Power: 327 For those who LIKE the flush to the fender look in the back....these are IT,I just want them in a bit closer to the look I already have.
I am also astonished to how the same size (305 tire) is so different from brand to brand.....The Pirelli is almost 1" narrower on the tread over the Nitto!
The Nitto sits square while the Pirelli is more rounded!
Here are a couple of more pics....

I am still undecided which I like better....Old school gold....or these!
They just look so different!
