Its just the angle of that pic with the way the shadows are.
There's only a gap on the far left side

They look nice, bummer on the damaged wheel. Lucky you don't need them right away.

It took HRE over two months to fix a problem with wheels they sent me early last year - but that was right in the middle of the first covid lockdowns.

I will say I was very pleasantly surprised with Titan7's customer service. I let them know about the damaged wheel, they sent me a return label within 2 hours. Dropped it off same day, and they shipped a new one same day. Will be here tuesday

Happy to hear they are taking care of you and also a benefit of buying a part that's in stock.

Not blaming HRE [located in SoCal] for the slow turnaround - I ran into the triple whammy of tight staff during covid, running out of blanks and having one of their machines break. And I know at least one set of the rebuilds failed QA and had to be redone again. Waiting really is the hardest part ...

It made sense on my Subaru, not so much on the M2. I would get tagged on the WRX/STi Facebook pages nonstop with a "you on here bro"... was to troll all of those ppl.

I've since got a new plate finally
Ironically another subaru guy bought the rights to the plate for $400 lol

Installed painted side markers, paint match was better than I expected and have seen some bad pics.

Also threw on the M-perf shift knob/boot from IND. Can confirm I did punch myself in the mouth pulling the stock knob off.

Well, we going full track mode

Ordered an APR GTC-300 61" and having it custom fitted to the M2.

Only other build I've seen run the 300 for reference

Also decided on a wrap color... (not the black)

Ceramic coated the summer setup with C5 wheel armor today. Interested to see how it performs! Also finally got my center caps from some Chinese company after waiting 2 months.

Hoping to put these on the car within a week or two, weather pending

Washed the car and threw on the new summer setup today
Super happy with them, but now I really need to get some coilovers ASAP to fix that 4x4 wheel gap.
