oh wellz. i love the new rims...
looks a lot more sporty.
oh yea...and finally you can see my painted rear calipers.

If I think of anything else that could be causing the caliper to touch, I'll let you know.

Damn you Frank... this is the reason why i try to stay away from this forums. Now i feel like shopping for wheels. I must say... i like these a lot better than your Carlsson.
As for clearance issue... i had the same problem with the Lorinser Reps. It would clear when going straight, but rub against the shocks when turning. Let's hope you can get it cleared without using any spacers. Spacers sucks in general.

This is coming from a person who prefers 5 spoke wheels over 6 spoke wheels so i'm not impartial.
