Just took my 08 MS3 in to check out the clunking - and it'll be in the shop for a few days for replacement. The clunking wasn't super loud - but the tech told me it was unsafe to continue to drive like that. Wish I've looked at it myself before taking it in and got some pics - I thought maybe I...

New Wheels Stock rubber - just cheap ebay wheels - Perfect fit. I like the deep lip and not too blingy. Look great while rolling.

A couple more pics They fit really well - no modifications. spacers, etc. Stock tires. Maybe lower next?

LOL - yeah, I think they're sweet.

Let's see if I can post this correctly -

Update - the rims are mounted - pics will be up as soon as the camera batteries charge. Hope to post by this evening. So far, so good. No rubbing, no strange feelings or noises. They feel "lighter". I think they look good - and I haven't seen any MS3 with them as yet - at least anywhere I've...

Anyone else running the Roadmagnets? Impressions?

I thought I'd read a few posts here where people are running +40 offset and are not rubbing, nor have clearance issues. God, I hate to be ignorant! Too late to cancel the order. I'll check clearance before mounting to make sure they clear the calipers.

Crap! You mean I just can't run with that setup at all until I get the correct size tire? EDIT - I'm an idiot - you just said I could run on them - but I'd be stretching a lot. Running on them for a week or so probably won't do much damage?

Cool. Thanks for the advice. So the OEM tires may be too tight? (aren't they 215/45R18?) Too lazy to go outside and check. It would suck if I have to get new rubber for these wheels before being able to use them.

Yeah - I bought em. I'll definitely post pics after mounting and let you know of issues, if any. My MS3 is blue - but I'm still hoping they'll look nice. They come in Friday - but my car will be in the stereo install shop then - so I might have to wait a week or two before I get install money.

I know this is old - but I LOVE the deep lip look. Just bought some and was nervous about how they'd look on a MS3. Thanks for posting. HOT!

I have absolutely no idea - but if I don't like them, I can easily craigslist them for more than the ebay price locally -

Also - maybe some opinions. I love the deep dish look - but don't know how that would look on my MS3. Deep dish ADR Sterlings looked great on my Crossfire - but that's a different animal...

Thanks, Demi. Don't worry - no offense taken. As you said - I asked for advice. I appreciate everyone's opinions - even the expensive ones!
