My wheels and tires came today! Unfortunately, they forgot to include my lug nuts in the shipment. Also, it looks like one of the tires isn't seated correctly (I don't know though, I am no expert). Seems like I will need to take this to a tire shop anyway to have it remounted.
Also, yes, I am intentionally not showing the wheels because I want to wait until they are on the car until I show everyone!

Yeah, they are inflated. I got these from FitmentIndustries, which mounts and balances everything before they ship. Everything arrived undamaged, but this one tire wasnt mounted correctly (and they forgot my lugs). Kind of defeats the purpose if I have to take it to a tire shop anyway! Oh well.

Looks Great!! If anyone is interested, I bought one of these spoilers and attempted to paint the back gloss black to match the top(top is gloss black and back is matte) and I just mucked it up. If anyone is thinking of buying this spoiler and plans on painting it to match the body color I'll give you a good deal on this one. It's in perfect condition other than the hack paint job on the back. I haven't put it in the classifieds yet as I haven't had time to take the pics. I'll put it up in the next week or so. If anyones interested let me know.
Yeah, its pretty embarrassing for them to be honest. I just went out and double checked the other wheels and 2 of the other ones have the tire mounted backwards (Inside is on the outside).

Yeah, I mean its pretty hard for me to recommend them at this point. I have watched some of their youtube stuff and was entertained by some of it, so I thought I would give them a try. At least the wheels made it here in good condition.
I wrote a fairly strongly worded email to them to see if they will make it right somehow (Not that its expensive, but I said they should at least cover the costs for me to have them remounted). We will see what they say!

It's the same valves. I used the crc valve cleaner spray. It wasn't as stuck on as I assumed. Kind of like strong gum. I will let it soak for a day, don't think it can damage my engine if I let it sit there.

don't want to undercut you here, but I was not impressed by this spoiler, that matte part you're talking about looks like it's just the cut end of some plexiglass and had some small chips in it, and the one I had ordered wasn't cut right, they took too much off one end so it didn't sit straight on my trunk, sent it back.

No worries. Not my favorite spoiler out there either but several people on here have them and they look pretty decent. A little thin from the side view for my taste but to each their own. It looks awesome from the rear IMO. I think if someone wanted to paint it to match the car it would look pretty good. At any rate, I'll put it up in the classifieds section and see if anyone wants it.

While I really like the design of the spoiler I have to agree with the not liking the flat black rear. Also they put one of those holographic warranty void stickers about the size of a silver dollar on it. I have some gloss black vinyl left over from my SHO that I'm going to cover the back with. Maybe I'll go to another spoiler later on down the road but it will do for now.

Fully agree here here, it's a nice low profile solution, I had bought one myself, and I expect that not all of them were defective, but that "matte" area isn't described anywhere on the site, painting it to match the car, and maybe sanding down those edges before painting would look mint.
Glad to have that fiasco sorted out! Took my wheels and tires to a local tire shop and had them all remounted and balanced (and put on the car). I personally think it looks great with the slightly higher profile tires and with the car being lowered a bit by the ARK springs.
I am a touch concerned that the rear tires might rub the fender under very heavy compression, but I will have to wait and see about that. If they offered the wheel with a +40 offset, I probably should've gotten that.
Here are the specs for those interested:
Niche Methos 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +35
Continental ExtremeContact Sport 245/40 and 275/35
Edit: Forgot to mention that Fitment Industries refunded me the $80 dollars it cost to have all 4 wheels remounted and balanced, so that was a nice touch by them.
