Love the look. When it's time for new rubber I'm going to try to go with 245 up front. Maybe 255. Also considering the financial drop but I'm not 100% sure I can do it without rubbing.
So I assume you're on stock suspension right now. No issues with rubbing or anything?

Yes stock currently and no rubbing. I have LCA and TS sitting on my living room floor waiting for install. I'm strongly considering financial springs on my next paycheck then installing both when the weather is better.

Not sure how to tag them but question for HRE. Is there touch-up paint available for tarmac black? Or a paint code for something that will match it well?

We do not have touch up paint, but wheel repair stores or even mobile wheel repair men and women should have no problem matching the Satin Black color of Tarmac.

Few questions:

1. What's ideal tire setup for these wheels in the 18" size? I'd like to keep my front tires size if possible.
2. Pricing for a set shipped to U.S. Florida 33018?

Thanks. The FF15's are beautiful.

1) The recommended tire size would be 225/40/18 || 245/35/18

2) Will PM you pricing now.

Hey guys. During a track day i had a center cap pop out of my wheel. Luckily this was after i got back to the paddock. Is there a metal lock ring on these or just the plastic tabs.

I want to pop it back in, im just afraid if there was a lock ring that i am missing now i will.loose the cap.

I suppose i vould try prying one of the other ones out with a razor, but if someone knows off the top of their head that would be great.

Yeah you have to make sure you remove your center caps before going out on a track day!

If you want to PM me a photo of the cap that popped out I can take a look at it to see if anything is out of place.

Don't pry out your other caps with a razor blade. Remove the wheel from the car and pop the cap from the backside of the wheel by just poking your finger at it.

Good to know. It looks like they warped due to heat. Not necessarily the plastic or metal cover, but the adhesive holding them together.

I may try to separaye and re glue before reinstalling them.

Love the wheels though and get tons of compliments all the time.

Thanks for checking out our gallery!
Would anyone happen to know the Wheel and Tire fitment on this car? I'm looking to buy a set soon. Would it be possible to run a 265/30R19 tire on a 19 inch wheel?

The 19" FF15's for this car have already been completely sold out and the part#'s for that particular set have been discontinued. That 19" set of FF15's are no longer available.

No, a 265 would not have worked on those wheels.

I was just curious mostly on the fitment, would it be the 19x8.5 +40 & 19x9 +44 setup? If so, would the recommended tire have been 225/35R19 & 255/30R19 for the rear?

Did not know what I was getting myself into...
