Default Finally received my Convo Pro rims...

I just came back from the garage to test fit them to see if they clear the calipers... I have called Centerline a week ago and they said that those rims won't clear the calipers on C3's... Several forum members have told me that they'll fit.. so I went ahead and ordered them...
When I tried to put them on... I noticed that...

Now I have to get my ET Streets installed on them Convo Pro's...
Right now - I don't have any tires on the Convo Pros... I'm still waiting on the skinny front wheels.. The ones that I received today were the rear ones (15 x 8.5 with 3.375 inch backspacing).. The front ones are 15 x 4...
