A set left the factory on Friday. We expect them any time now. The wheels have passed strength/load/impact testing. (A huge victory)

We had a bit of rubbing on the first set, so the offsets have been tweaked. If this set passes our fitment test, full production will begin immediately.

Where do you live Kevin?

The set I saw today looked fantastic, but the paint wasn't just right. We expect a set of RSR-look wheels in a week. We'll have pictures up ithen.

If the fitment and paint are up to standard, full scale production will begin.

Getting this just right is not a simple task, but things are going really well.

I see that I didn't bother to read the entire thread! Sorry Yellowbird RS!

Moses, Yellowbird RS should be the winner, not me.

Again, sorry!
