I have an RMA from ECS, so they'll get shipped back for a refund. I should have known it was too good to be true.
At this point I think I'm just going to go with the EC-7s. They're known good and won't need any spacers.

Alzors are on the way back to ECS, and EC-7s have been ordered. I went with the 18x10 ET43 for the rear instead of the ET33 Apex lists as the M2 fitment (Apex confirmed they would fit fine). I want to be closer to stock offset while still having leeway to fine-tune the final offset. The ET43 gives me a full 10mm of offset to play with and still be legal to the Street class rule set. |
And the 18 x 9 ET31 front? Do you plan to run 255/275 or something else? This setup keeps calling to me even though I was trying not to spring for wheels this year. But there is another side benefit - with reduced diameter comes a 9.3mm lowering of the car. It's small stuff, but sometimes we are only separated by a few hundredths. I'll take whatever advantage I can get...
