Thanks man!

I have them buy haven't gotten around to mounting them with tires yet.

Here's a picture of the rim http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160412/642a270ee0f0b3eaad58356e2f26b1b1.jpg

Once I get them mounted up and the car on the ground I'll post up some more photos. I went with the 19x9.5 et 43.

Back to your question. The finish and lightweight of the wheel seem very good. I'm no wheel expert by any means. This is actually my first of aftermarket wheels I've ever purchased. The price was very reasonable compared go other wheel brands.

Grumpy-s4 did you go with the 9.5 et 43 wheels? Also are you lowered? Assuming a 255/35 tire too?

I ran a quick google search for "Renn RS-51" just because I was curious on pricing and this came up: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/602239-Renn-Motorsport-RS-51-Flow-Formed-19-Wheels-Review I didn't read it but maybe it'll help you out a bit.

I've seen these in person on two cars along with countless other wheels; cheap to expensive. I think the RS-51 is a great low cost wheel if that is what you are going for. Look good, good size/offset options, and light weight.

Yes... I kept my oem Contis... Big mistake! Super stretched!!! Not good! They need 265 tires. I will be moving to PSS after these wear.

I may have to raise it a bit when I switch tires... We will see.

I think the wheels are pretty good for the price! The finish is good but not great, we'll see how they hold up over time. Structurally they seem very strong, the tire shop thought they were a much more expensive wheel. I'm happy I went with the 19x8.5 et35 it's nice that the tires provide a little lip protection vs being mounted on peelers.

I wouldn't say "super stretched" and "not good". Many people here are running 255's on 9.5" wide wheels including me with no issues whatsoever. Maybe it's the Conti's for you but my pss have a very slight stretch and look great. 265 may rub if you are lowered and don't have adjustable control arms. Some get away with minor drops but still run under high load or large dips.

Good to know... Maybe the PSS is wider overall. The Contis are super super stretched in my case. Lane changes are not fun sometimes!

[mrmomo313]

I really like mine as well. Finish is still perfect though I've only put just over 1k miles on them in the year I've had them... They look much better in person imo, pics don't do them justice. In the right specs they fill out the wheel wells quite nicely

Mine are 19x9.5 et35 with PSS 255/35

Here's a more head on pic to see how the 255 pss look on them

Yeah, these are sweet wheels and not just for the price bit overall sweet. Sonic tuning was running a special on them few weeks back, might want to check to see if they are still running it.

[indichito]

Thanks y'all for the feedback. Nice to see them in the wild as well.

What's the best size for a flush look with PSS? I do not like a stretched tire. Likely will be stock height forever due to my driveway slope.

Would I basically be deciding between 19x8.5 ET35 on 255 or 19x9.5 ET42 on 265?

[mjr034]

i have these in the 19x9.5 - Run them solely for a cheap lightweight wheel to race in. Good wheels so far - no complaints.

Tread carefully with sonic, they sent me a set of et32 machined to et38 so I'm $2k out of pocket

I saw your posts in the other thread, although to date this is the only negative thing I have read about these wheels. Everyone else seems happy and they did offer to refund your money.

Either of those options would work well at stock height. I'd say there is a chance for some very minor rubbing with the 9.5"/265 combo where the 8.5"/255 should be very safe. The 255 tires are usually quite a bit cheaper in most cases.

They offered to refund my money then have never replied yo an email since of which I've sent 5 or 6 now. Just a word of warning because I wouldn't want anyone else to end up in my situation!

On the other hand though they do make lovely wheels that are well finished, super light and very reasonably priced for what they are, I'm just super pissed and I seem to be the only person they've ripped off, maybe it's because I'm in the uk so don't get the consumer rights you'll get over in the USA

RyanJon,

All of the test/engineering data that you requested are sent to you. Now we have sold over 500 sets of Renn MS wheels and have no issues with structure.

I am not sure what you are looking for? All of the wheels are produced with the same method, yours are the same.

We have been in business for 8 years with alot of satisfied customers.
Never cross our mind that we would sell or put out a set of wheels would jeopardize the safety of our customer and their love ones, no matter where you are located.

But in this case we will extend the return period for you again. All of the return instructions are in the previous emails.

Thank you,

[RyanJon]

Thank you,

You've completely ignored my last 5 or 6 emails, your customer service is terrible, the worst I've ever encountered.

The test data you sent me was for a standard set of wheels, not a set modified post production.

All I want is what I have ordered and paid for, a set of wheels for my car.

You offered me a return but want me to pay for it, you sent me something other than what I ordered, your in the wrong and it will cost me $1200 in postage fees. (If I could have got a reply that is as you've started to completely ignore me)

If you were in the uk I'd be taking you to court.

RyanJon,

Please check the test data again, it is for the set of wheels that you ordered for your vehicle.

This is the same method for production, we did not send you a special set of wheels.

In this case, you choose to return the wheels. Which is an option we have extended for you even though the purchase was made early 2016.

[Race Shooter]

Give it up already. Its been said over and over that your wheels are nothing out of the ordinary. Use them or dont, but please stop ruining every thread Sonic posts in, its getting really old.

The test data is not for the wheels I have been sent period!

You are telling lies and you've committed fraud.

You've completely ignored me so how can I get a refund?

Who will cover the postal for the refund on the wheels that are not what I ordered?

RyanJon,

The data and the wheels are the exact one that you ordered.

Please keep in mind that its been more than 300 days that you purchased these wheels, but in this case we will still honor a refund.

You can send them to the address on this link. http://www.sonictuning.com/returns_exchanges/

Does every set of et38 wheels have to run shortened wheel bolts?

I've now asked you this question roughly 10 times and on every occasion you have failed to answer
