Shot out from the front wheels. Also how long did each set take to arrive.

Stretched, but the paint chipping was on the spokes, as well as the lip etc.
They were a few days give or take?
They just had to be sent down from Auckland.
Here are some on the lip from the last set.

If the grids have shocking paint, what's the harm in having them powder-coated?

Used the wrong links, fixed it :p
A lot of the chips are on the lip, which wouldn't be an issue if the tyres weren't stretched, but there are also quite a few chips in other locations.

Well purchased a set of Rota's anyway.
From Option One Garage in Hamilton Brisbane.
Went with a set of Gloss Black 17 x 9 +25 Grid R.
Total of $990
Will be in Shop on Tuesday.
Also compared to a set of the same diameter and width of a genuine TE37 and found that the Grid R are 1.4-1.5 KG heavier. Not sure how much that will affect power but it isnt THAT much more.
Apart from that only other things ive done with the car is changed the front droplinks and still diagnosing a fuelling issue.
Will be grabbing a fuel pump and MAP sensor from Chebus wreck (Sahins old Red GPX) for testing, i knew it ran fine.
