For those that missed the original !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

So I ordered these a bit ago, but hadn't had any confirmation on when they were going to be shipped. I called today, and apparently because of the Chinese New Year the factory shut down and they won't ship for TWO MONTHS!!!! Now, I need these wheels to get my slicks for my track day at COTA on the 21st, so that obviously won't do. So now I am exploring other options, which sucks because none of the other rims are either as cheap, light, or as good looking as those SVE Drifts. My current leader in the club house are !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! but I am wondering if a +48mm offset might be too much. For those that don't know, I am trying to fit 305's on 18x10's all the way around on an 08 Mustang. I am waiting to consult with some people, but I might order one of these rims, test fit with the tire, then order the other 3. Until then I will go measure some clearances in my wheel well. Sorry for the long winded rant but all my research has pretty much had to start over.

Run steel wheels for the first event or two until your wheels are ready. They are fairly cheap and you can just resell them later.

Haha it is definitely a hopeful dream. I have talked to several experts that believe it is doable, but we won't see until I get them.

Well I haven't looked yet but I would imagine it is pretty hard to find a steel wheel that is 18x10 with something like a 40'ish mm offset that has the Mustang bolt pattern.

Well I would like to get a whole set of wheels since I need all 4 tires.
