    ^ that, yes. Directional and pointing the same direction.

    My opinion over a few days is that the tires suck pretty bad. Granted it was a bit chilly out for summer tires, but even my wimpy g-force sports felt better than those. And quieter. Not that I won't take some road noise for better grip.

    I am surprised that you got such refund so easily. The thing is, can you use that money to repair that damage? or could you just buy one wheel new?

    They are now discontinued and replaced with a very similar wheel (slightly different offsets for some sizes and the branding is like laser-etched on instead of painted or something)

    There are still some of the "old" FN01R-C's available new, but finding the exact size is probably not possible - stock was running out quickly it seemed.

    Besides, one wheel has the scuffing and dent and another wheel has the chipped paint and drilled lug seat - so, it would be 2 wheels.

    I've decided to run them pretty much as is and just deal with them when the paint starts falling apart.


    Oh - and the refunded $$ I am using to ensure my suspension upgrades don't require me to eat Ramen noodles for the next month. :)
