They looked good I didn't mind them at all until I found some new tires with diff wheels on them which I like more.

Confused. Those are your old wheels, right? And they are 2011+/- Brembo Package California Special wheels or identical replicas? Factory wheels are tougher than most. If they bent with you driving, hope you still have your fillings!

edit: meant to say California Special wheels.

Yep they're the old ones. Car had them on when I bought it. I still have the wheels, never got around to getting them fixed because I didn't wanna pay $240 for both wheels to get fixed.

I like both, but the new wheels are pretty dope. Looks awesome. Good job.

thank you for recognizing my sense of taste. I only took a bath on them waiting for the right car and owner to come along and display them at their finest.

Got a second wheel alignment done to get the 3 of 4 wheels into spec. The rear driver side was actually at -3.6 !
Should've known better getting an exhaust shop to do a wheel alignment !

Lesson learned. I’m about to go get my first.

Had to get new tires... I periodically check my tires by running my hand over the surface and this time, to my surprise, I felt the stabbing strands of the steel belt! Turns out, both front tires wore such that a tiny sliver of steel belt became exposed only on the inner edge of each tire. Not sure if my alignment is off, OR, does PP1 alignment have a little negative camber? Checked the back and I was right at the wear limit on those, so I ended up swapping all four.

They were original PS4s's. I managed to get 20K miles out of them, but to be fair, they probably needed to be changed somewhere around 15ish? I don't do burn outs, but they aren't strangers to hard cornering and spirited runs either. Replaced them with PS4's again.

Is it normal with an alignment to spec for these to wear on the inner side for some reason?
