Looks nice. All you need now is the OTG shims. Man, I miss seeing hills.

Those look great! A lot of people are going flashy with their RS2.0's. I like your style, reminds me of mine, clean and simple.

Are there any long-term issues running wheels that have a +40 offset? My friend said it isn't good (not sure why),

Nice. I was looking at the torques as well, but went with the Konig Kolors in graphite. Just picked them up from JLB this weekend.

Super Bump!

Anyways, since I have a +40 offset on these 15x6.5 wheels, would the 10mm OTG shim be the best for a flush look?

None whatsoever. If they don't crash against the brake caliper, or smash into a strut, rub into the wheel well, or rub into a fender, you're good to go!

These look really nice! I might get a set of these in bronze for my other car later on.

$400 for the wheels, $20 for the lug nuts, $60 for the mounting/balancing. I then paid about $50 for an alignment.
