Quality of D-Force Empower Wheels?
I'm thinking of going with these 18 x 8.5/9.5. I haven't been able to find much info on their quality. Anyone have experience with these? thanks

I'm looking at those also. Trying to figure out how much spacer I'd have to run, and it's thats tolerable for me (significant dif. in offset). I don't know anyone with the Empowers, but I know a lot of autox people who run the LTW5's (including my g/f), and the love them, and haven't ever had any issues with the quality. The Vorshlag boys run the LTW5's on a couple of their race/project cars.

But looking at an offset calculator, this wheel will bring the inside edge 19 inward towards the strut, and the outside edge in 7mm, effectively reducing the rear track by 14mm. Also going in 19mm would put it a lot closer to rubbing on the inside, hence the idea of a 10mm spacer. I think that would be the best approach, but I'm looking for info from someone with more knowledge than me.
