What kind of work needs to be done to get the 17x8.25 with the 25mm offset to fit? I pretty sure coilovers, fender work. Possibly spacers and studs??

Definitely not spacers thats for sure...at least a fender tuck/pull and probably some grinding on the inside of the wells...although I don't have the answer for that either. Hopefully some is/has run that +25 will chime in with real world experience on that matter.

8.25 +25 will probably fit with a smidge of negative camber. I don't think you'll need any fender work. You'll only have to worry about the inner fender seam if you really slam it.

yeah. I'm waiting to see how they look before I buy a set. I've had the same wheels since summer of 04.

Awesome. Thanks for the info, guys.

I actually currently have 17x8s w/ a +35mm offset (Drag DR-38s), but I really like the concave look which is why I'm digging the 527s. I should receive my BC coilovers w/ front and rear camber plates on wednesday so i'll be working on getting my car low and a little tucked. So i shouldnt have that much work to do when i order these.

I'm buying a set of these. I'm no stranger to making wheels fit. Years in thhe 240 scene helped learn plenty bout that

wiggy · 03-21-2011, 08:26 AM

Dude, slapping wheels on a 240 and making them fit is easy. The Neon is a PITA, as you'll soon find out.

Anywho, these have finally started shipping (even though my set has yet to arrive).

Glad I never ordered these. They would not have mad it here in time for me to enjoy them. I will order some when I get to Texas though. I can't wait to see how they look on a neon though.

These wheels are nasty!!! I cant wait to see them on your car Wiggz....Especially in person!

Man I hope that they finally arrived I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for these

ares559 · 03-22-2011, 09:03 AM

When someone gets these can we get a weight measurement on them? I am interested in these as well but I would love to know how much they weigh.

wiggy · 03-22-2011, 09:11 AM

I'll try. I won't promise anything though.

If you have the black with the red undercut stripe, you should sell them to me so you can buy these! I can't find anybody that can order me a set.

That's sick fit mention on the wheels I'm back in Cali and these wheels are still back order I was gonna shove em on my 240!

wiggy · 03-22-2011, 10:26 AM

As I understand it, they've just started to trickle out. Hopefully they'll be more easily accessed by the time spring is in full force.

snovick87 · 03-22-2011, 04:06 PM

i just got a call saying my wheels should be to the company in a week which means two weeks from being on the car hopefully..debating whether to risk going with the +25 now instead of the +35 just for the deeper look with a 225/45/17
