My car's like that as well... And I picked up a set of the Fondmetal wheels as well, and can't wait to have them straightened and put on my car! Someday anyway... They should indeed be 7" wide.

Regarding alignment:

Personally I went with 1 degree neg. camber and 1 degree of caster. I can't remember how much toe I ran, but it may not have been enough. I'd run probably a 1/16" toe in if I did it again, which MIGHT actually be what I'm running. And I have 205/60 TOURING tires even, on 15x6 +25 tires. So I imagine yours being even worse. I think the main thing causing the car to tramline so much is the lower offset of our wheels... The ones you have should be +20 if they're the exact ones that I have. I'm not sure if they offered different offsets of these wheels. Before you, I haven't actually heard of them elsewhere, and couldn't find a picture online. Supposedly IPD used to sell them? Do you know where you picked yours up?
