All 3 finishes of the 18x10" ET25 EC-7 wheels arrived back in stock as of today. If our site said it was out of stock, it was an old/general ETA.

I like my EC-7, but I did just find one weak point. I was using lacquer thinner to get rid of the old wheel weight tape residue before mounting new tires tomorrow and as I rubbed, I was rubbing through the black paint. They are only track wheels, and it is the inner barrel, but wow. I never expected that.
Lacquer thinner is not the appropriate chemical to use on a wheel. They are just as sensitive as the body's paint. Adhesive remover is the correct substance to use. Lacquer thinner when applied to painted surfaces will begin to soften and remove the finish depending on how it was applied.
