MSRP doesn't exist in DFW. Sorry but it doesn't. Not on this car. I was 1st for "msrp" dealer only to be told "sales manager says 10k over on Type Rs."
Being good buddies with the GM has it perks. I was #52 on the list now up to #10. They havenā€™t gotten an allocation on their first FL5 yet.

I hope you get yours. These production numbers have to go up drastically since many dealers are awaiting their 1st allotment. I haven't heard of any receiving a 2nd yet.

I live near the dragon and recently took it on the road there. Just took it easy but it felt great. Car was filthy but still looked great.

Thinking of getting this rim as a 19 w 34mm offset. What did you land up getting for lugs?

Might wanna make sure that 34 offset wheel would fit. I know offsets are tricky on the fl5. I went with monster lugs 14x1.5

Take a look at the system Motorsports wheel thread. I prob wouldnā€™t say the right thing. All I know is with the FL5, itā€™s different than the fk8. The golden spec on the fl5 is +45 and youā€™re safe with +40 and above. Things get tricky as you get in the 30s with fitment issues, rubbing, etc.

Thanks, why wouldnā€™t it fit - positive offset just pushes the facing in and the wheel out. Id be worried if it were negative offset.

Can they match any color with wraps? I might consider that as an option to color-match the rear wing, but it would have to be exact.

I honestly donā€™t know. But I canā€™t see why not.

Ride feel any better switching to the 18s? Also do you feel your steering got a little worse going to a +45 or does it feel same as the stock setup?
