I just wanted to share something that happened to me that might make someone elses life a little easier.
Well I finally got my new Intro wheels, and mounted the tires on them. But when I put them on the car the wheel won't turn. Turns out the valve stem is mounted on the inside of the wheel and it hits the caliper. Since I have 13" rotors, there just insn't enough room for the valve stem. Man I was mad, I was in such a hurry yesturday trying to get this car ready to take to a show the same day, and then this happens. So my only option is the get those flush mount valve stems, that only stick up about 1/8". But no one around here has them in stock, so I ordered a set and they have arrived today. So hopefully that will fix the problem. Other then that the wheels look very good.
