I went with ST from sonic tuning. I got a call from them on Monday night saying that I would receive them either today or tomorrow, which seemed rather fast considering i dont even have a tracking number or any confirmation. All i have is a receipt for the purchase.

I thought you pick your own offsets for custom wheels...

Check the invoice! It might be on there. When they shipped me my wheels that's where my tracking number was.

I could've but chose not to pick my own offsets since I'm still new to the Bimmer and not sure what fits best for flush fitment. So i asked them to help me select that for me.

It has a spot that says tracking and shipping info but there's no information written. That was just my receipt. Haven't received tracking yet but I spoke with Pat and he said that KW confirmed with him that it's been shipped and I'll get tracking from either ups or fed ex tonight

Yeah, I would not worry about it! Sonic Tuning is a great vendor and very dependable just that I'm sure it is out of their control on getting the tracking since they gotta depend on KW to give it to them first.

I went through the same thing when I bought my KW V3's from them and that was my first time buying stuff through Sonic. It took about a day or 2 to get me the tracking and by the time I got it my package was already scheduled to delivery the next day.

yeah im not worried at all, ive heard nothing but good stuff about Sonic. The customer service they provided with me was phenomenal so far. Pat called me monday night when they were processing my credit card to get the expiration, he could have easily waited till tuesday because it was around midnight over there but he called the same day.

Should've just asked us for fitment help. Haha. Hopefully they didn't screw you and give you shitty offsets. Haha

Yeah well haha! I didn't know anybody at all that time. I jumped the gun on all my mods without asking for any help. I only told them that I wanted flush fitment on the widths I selected and be able to run 275 in the back and 245 in the front. if the offset is weak I can always run spacers but by looking at the wheels in person I think it might be pretty aggressive and most likely I will need to run a of stretch tires.

My old days with Pokey Pokey, check it out!

245 and 275 is going to be a tight squeeze but I don't think you're going for the slammed look right?

Ya, keeping it drivable on this one. I will know for sure which size I'll go with once I can test fit the wheels. Probably a 265-35 and 235-40 will suit this setup. What you think?
