Hello - anyone has experience with the RSSW Velocity heels ? They have a +38 offset.

I was just looking at the same wheels on quattro tires site since last week. Contemplating ordering it and some winter tires for my stinger. I would also like to know if anyone else knows how they compare to the Fast Wheels FC04 that seems to be really popular.

Fast Wheels Switch in 18” with Falken Eurowinters 225/45R18s.

Here are the specs:
18x8
5x114.3

Centre bore: 64mm

offset seems high but the main concern is your center bore.
ours is 67.1mm there anything bigger, you can get a hub centric ring to help , anything smaller wont just fit ...

That's too bad but good to know. Thanks for your help!

That's incredibly pretty. 2020 calendar entry for sure (if we ever get a 2020 calendar, that is ). I saved that one on my 'puter background picture changer!

Hi everyone, just bought my red Stinger in Sept and loving it! I live in the Kanata area. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy winter tires and rims and any specific brand?

Hey! I live in Toronto but I’m from Ottawa so I know how bad the winters can get in your area. I just bought Michelin X-ice 3’s for this winter - my friend in Ottawa who just bought the stinger also put these on his car. Hope that helps!

Hello - finally selected Fast Switch wheels and Blizzak WS80 from a shop called ZRacer in Mississauga. Got the TPMS modules from an eBay reseller as others have reported. 1500$ plus taxes.

Advan replica's with Mirage winter tires. Yes I know - it's a Chinese brand but I'll be happy if I get 3 to 4 winters out of them. No real snow fall as of yet but went through a down pour with them, no hydro planing or loss of traction in any way.

Had my winter Pirellis installed today.

My local tire shop down right refused to mount my 225/40/19 snow tires on the OEM rear 8.5 wheels. He said it's against company policy to stretch tires. I said thank you and will take my business somewhere else
