ET is the offset of the wheel, standard offset for a subaru is ET48. So these wheels sit 2mm further in than standard at ET50

Banny, pm me the places number as your only York way aren't you? Easy for me to get done somewhere with good results. Did it take long as in can I call in from Steven on the way to mine and get it done?
