The car is slower as it is also oversized. Bigger wheels, slower acceleration but higher top speed - smaller wheels, quicker acceleration but lower top speed.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Theyre like Triumph 2500 S and Stag alloys, stepped back in to make them look like they have far more dish than they actually do

Blatant copy of Racing Hart CP-035, for about one third the price.

Took over 4 months to travel from the USA by surface mail, USPS suggests 4-6 weeks, but that's absolute nonsense! My original order was for gold, to complement the gold fleck in the velocity red, but I ended up getting bronze, as stock was limited. They look more gunmetal in some light. Offset is +45, 10 less than stock, but there are no clearance issues. Tyres fitted are Falkens, weight for rim and tyre is lighter by 0.7 - 0.8 kg per wheel.
