what size did you get? I wanted to get a set of these a few years ago, but 18x8.5 in 5x112 was backordered to hell and no one could give me a straight answer for an ETA. i forget what offset i wanted, it's been so long since i dealt with it. i wanna say it was et42 or et43
what if i told you the 5x112 never existed for that size lol

bc it doesnt. i ordered mine like that and then they were like heyyyyyyy yeahhhhh that doesnt actually exist. its 5x114. +37.

Nacho dip for dinner tonight, which inevitably means absolutely nothing is getting done with the cars. Tomorrow is lobster rolls for brunch, and then Chili's with some old work friends for dinner. Sunday cars & coffee is supposed to have a couple food trucks, but we might forgo that for some Crepes in nearby Lancaster.

just spent $235 on all the bolts and bearings and mounts and dust covers for my suspension. the only thing I couldn't get for my car through us were the bumpstops. so i'll be picking those up tomorrow morning at the local VW dealer.

Spent $1000 on tires.

Sad, but also pretty exciting.

I work tomorrow but 4 of those covers the tires so that's cool. I actually like working on Saturday since it's just 5 hours and there are no boss characters around.
Real ones understand how exciting new tires can be.

saturday shifts are easy at my place. 6 hours, we get fed, and its super slow. just hate having to wake up so early.

The RAYS page (at the time) absolutely listed a 5x112 variant. It's gone now. But I wouldn't have tried to find the wheel if I didn't see the 5x112 on the RAYS website.

So I wonder what happened on the manufacturer's end. Maybe not enough orders for the 5x112 and they killed it? Or maybe just a straight up mistake.
