Feeler: WTT HRE 897r's for your wheels.

So I recently bought a set of HRE wheels style 897r from B. Gorman, the wheels are beautiful but my car is lowered and the wheels rub. I want to keep them but since I bought the lowering module I'm not gonna keep the car at stock height, not gonna do it. So....... any body want to trade for a set of 19" or 20" wheels with correct offset so they can tuck when I'm lowered. Let me know what you got. My wheels are in perfect condition so yours should be too. Let me know what you got.

(I like black wheels, all black, or black with polished lips.)

Here are my wheels.

Yeah, that was with 2" drop in the front, the front actually doesn't rub unless I hit a dip or bad bump, the rear is the problem. I have the rear lowered 1" and there is about an 1/8" clearance between fender and wheel. I raised it up to stock height last night and no rubbing yet.

Just had fresh Vredesteins put on Yesterday, 245/30/20 fronts and 285/25/20 rears. It's not the tires, the wheels were made to fit at stock height. The outside of the wheels sit flush with the fender.

HAHA! Yeah I know, I love the look of these wheels too man, thats why I really don't want to trade them, but I also want to be able slam my car and with these I can't. I think I am gonna have Bill modify them and also powder coat the insides of the barrels black to match the faces. It's just a PITA cuz my stock tires are shot so in order to take these off and send them out I gotta buy stock tires first, not a big deal just more money and time. Dude I'm waiting to see those Flux's on your car, that thing is gonna look nasty! (nasty in a good way)
