I should rock these on the ES car, how humiliating would it be to get beat by a dude (or girl for that matter since my wife races too) with bear wheels. I wonder if the offset is 45mm +/- 6mm to make them legal?

I don't know what you guys are going on about, these wheels are awesome! If I hadn't bought a set of RB's I'd be all over the teddy bears. My kid would think his dad was cool!

Although with 300 wheel you could rock anything and get away with it.

Only thing worse I can think of is if they came in chrome.
