They’re redrilled! 5mm spacers on the front.

Who redrilled them if it's custom what is the procedure.

Their Instagram is @fm_wheels. I’m not entirely sure of the process but I have no issues with the wheels

Yeah, I’ve come across this place before. The spacers make sense, these wheels’ face profiles might have issues with caliper clearance. I was excited to see their nt03+m fitment, until you see it’s more of a rear fitment face with no caliper clearance.
Have you gone to extended lugs yet?

Did my oil change, installed my cooling plate, and put on my extended wheel studs!
Just installed extended studs on the front yesterday!

I already have! I tracked on them without the extended studs and there were no issues. I just made sure my wheels were torqued in between sessions.
I'd be more confident in something like that rather than aftermarket.
To me there's just something about them that doesn't really inspire confidence in using them.
Also I'm a little worried about the integrity of re drilling the rims. They are stress test for something other than 5 x 120.
Other than my regamasters those are my favorite

I was just talking spacers. I would think of them as a wear item and replace accordinglyI'd be more confident in something like that rather than aftermarket.

I've never used them. I'm going to email enkei and see if I can get some for fl5. The wheels would sell like hotcakes especially for track guys.

I totally forgot to update this thread.
My car has been through some changes:
- Removed the super dark tint and went with 80% ceramic tint all around. (I got a fix-it ticket for multiple items and got the ticket signed off prior, but I was planning on going this route anyways.)
- Sold the swan neck and put the OEM wing back on. (I’m going for a more subtle, exterior look.)
- Switched back to the Titan7 T-S5’s but in a different spec than before, 18x9.5 +35 (versus the previous +45’s I had).
- Installed 2 Mugen MX-A bucket seats with PCI rails/sliders. (Surprisingly good seats for the low price point.)

The new tint looks great, I was planning to do the same thing on mine since I don't like dark tint but I want to cut down on the heat when it's outside.

Did the same thing myself. Went with XPEL Prime. It's supposed to block high amounts of infrared heat and UV rays.
I went with light tint for, hopefully, 45+ state legality. I eventually want to do some driving outside of Texas. So I had the shop install 30% pass-through on the rear quarter windows and rear windshield, 50% on the four side windows, and a 70% "eyebrow" at the top of the front windshield.
Apologies. Sunny outside that day, plus suboptimal camera angles.
Either way, I hope that helps.
Cheers.
