picked them up from 323 motorsports. They're all pretty much the same in all honesty, weight is the same as my previous wheels too. Had no problems so far.

Just a quick update, looking to wrap this car over the summer, got the money ready, just deciding on a color, if you all have any opinions, I'm stuck between three (all are 3M vinyls):
Matte Aluminum
Matte Dark Gray
Matte Silver
Here's a picture of (I think, the pictures are few and far between) the aluminum:
and the silver:
Pictures aren't easy to find, so I'm still trying to figure out how each one actually looks..

I kind of like the matte aluminum, looks like it stands out more than the other color. Matte silver would look good too, but more common:
If you want to be different Matte blue or gold/copper would be awesome

did a kinda cool "mod" to the car. Found a set of my dad's old S420 all-weather mats sitting in the garage, he apparently paid a ton for them at the stealership back in the day, so I threw them in my car, and they fit pretty close to perfectly.
Next thing on the menu other than the wheels I'm waiting for is a bike rack. Started riding my dad's old bike recently (he has so much cool stuff sitting around!) and really got into it. So now I need a way to get it around.
After these are done, won't do much of anything non-maintenance to the car, gotta work on my other project:

That's a nice picture you have there, I like the rake more and that it's up slightly compared to your sig

Haha thanks guys, appreciate the love. And the LM's will be for sale with tires once this next setup goes on. I do love the way they look, but it's time to put the big boy pants on with a fully custom 3pc setup!

The setup I've got coming shouldn't require any more camber than I'm currently at or any crazy fender stuff. I daily this car and I like to keep it somewhat functional. It is wider than my current setup, and a little bit more aggressive, but not too much.

The only downer with the old skewl Monoblocks is that they hide the nice four piston caliper set up at the front. I'm keen to see your alignment specs and how aggressive your wheel/tire combo turns out to be. I would have thought those offsets would be impossible. I daily my car in the summer too, and have been thinking of Forgestar F14s for a 'sortaflush' fitment - just want the wheels with a bit more of an aggressive offset, but not crazily so. Any suggestions on that for an 18x8.5, 9.5 width? I'd probably stick with stock tire size up front, and a faintly wider 255/35 for the rear.
