Have you tried looking on the back-inside of the rim to check? A lot of wheels have the offset number put on.

Yea - nada. Already heard back and they said the box can't always be trusted and not to worry. I'll know for sure in the morning.

Honestly I never looked at those -- than I can recall.

I did just look at them and they do look similar. Not sure if they are as concave and I think the VS8.2 flow is smoother -- not a knock on the HRE as that's their design. I've liked the VS8.2's since I first saw them and it was this post here that actually sold me on the color and finish (which I got the same as):

I did comparison before bought mine. Morr is more concave than P40, the P40SC was not around at that time.

I am literally sitting at the shop waiting for the test-fit and hopefully install. I am indeed nervous there will be some issue here.. I really hope not.

Thanks!

I'm at Curry's Auto on Route 7 .. it's at like the cross roads of Vienna, Great Falls, and Reston.

Just saw the test fit -- rears fit super snug/perfect. Fronts are great but not as snug.

So far so good...

Curry's is really good. That's the same location I use since I'm right there in Tysons. Can't wait to see pics of your wheels fitted to your car.
