They have no idea what theyre doing.

Btw check out this zymol wax... ZYMOL ROYALE GLAZE 44 oz

Im not recommending it just showing you how insanely expensive they can be, theyre not worth it at all. But hey yours was free.
indeed it was, yeah eff the dealership. i always do my own work, i dont trust anyone else with my car but me. im a bit scared to do a detail on my car since i've never really done a "complete" detail. so imma just let my friend who use to do it professionally for a living do it.. he is going to show me how to, and give me a run down on certain products to use.. so it'll be a good learning experience.

nope nothin too baller.. they are Axis OG's in gold. i swapped the buddy clubs i had to a friend of mine for these. its no big deal to me, i can get my old wheels back if i wanted to.. i love the fitment on these even though its tearing my rear bumper to shit without any neg camber.

Theyre either Axis wheels or Equips.
Shit, you just posted what they were.

My guess was good.

Dude! We both had buddy clubs SF's in white! I have a pair of Axis OG's TOO NOW but in white. 15x8 right? +28 offset? what size tires are you on? Do you have crazy rubbing issues? I want to put mine on soon!

15x8 +25 195/50

fronts dont rub one bit.. rears i rub on dips/inclines/declines etc.. pretty badly. but not just driving. my car sits pretty low so idk what suspension you're running to have rubbing issues or not. but the fitment is perfect. they stick out of the fender wells maybe 1/4-1/2 of an inch. its perfect.. looks so much better rolling than with the BC's tucked into the fenders.

No, what you need to do is fix the problem.
-Remove the rear wheels, cut the plastic bumper clips in half. (mounts to rear 1/4's and the bumper pops in place on it)
-Cut the lip that wraps around the bumper (where mud guards mount, if youre rubbing on it)
-Remove the rear screw that held the bumper on, hammer the lip flat under the car.
-Drill tiny holes in the bumper and the rear 1/4's and ziptie the bumper back in place.
