Test-fit some wheels

20x10 Niche Milan on the front of my Brembo-equipped '13 GT.

Everybody said they won't fit, that the spokes will hit the calipers, or that the wheel will hit the strut.
It couldn't possibly fit any better, I so can't wait to get them paired up with some tires and mounted up for real!
No spacer, no rubbing, no clearance issues

Now I just need some tires and 2 more wheels for the back


The rear wheels will soon have 2 of these installed on them:

Thanks but a lot of their other designs use a flatter spoke (less concave) than the 20x10 Milan, so I felt that I had to try them on to know for sure

CDC one, best part. Got it for 150$ new(instead of 225$) shipped. Unpainted of course but that's how I want it.

I tried to drive mine to work yesterday, it didn't want to go there apparently.

On the highway, cruising along, started hearing a rattling noise from under the car, banging noises when slowing down, any gear, any speed.
Engine still running fine, trans shifting OK and feeling OK.
Pull over, don't see anything dragging under the car, no parts on the ground.
Try to putt-putt it back home, quickly becoming late for work, stopped at a local shop to have them put it up in the air, hoping it's just something loose like a trans mount or driveshaft safety loop, everything looked tight, but the driveshaft was making some interesting noises:




So I spent this morning putting the car up on jack stands and trying to remove the DSS driveshaft, come to find out I don't have the 8mm allen-head sockets I need to remove the rear bolts.
Allen wrench I have, but don't have enough leverage under there to use it
