well, got my new corsa wheels, and not paying attention, i ordered 3mm offset, thinking it would push them out to look better on a 190 body, being my TB01 is not a 190 car, but more like a 178 car. Nope, it comes with 3mm offset wheels already!
Leaving me with a choice, deal with what i got, or put them to the knife!! heres my results, and by trimming and adding, i ended up with roughly 8mm offset, giving me the right look. i think they turned out decent :) , but feel free to comment.

thanks, i cant take credit for the idea, but it definately makes your rims look different.

if you have a narrow car such as the tamiya's , or would like to run a 200mm on your 190 car, this is the hot ticket to get your width back..and cheapest! i put jsut a touch of CA on the wheel and new "beauty ring" just to ensure it doesnt come apart, doubt it will work on rubber tires tho, because you sacrifice the inner bead, but for ABS or PVC wheels for drifting, it rocks..

( course, sand the edges too, looks closer to scale, and prevents catching on things, ect...
