Talking Putting on some Vossen rims and other parts too.

Like the name of this section "Brakes, Suspension, Wheels & Tires."
I got it all going on soon. Brakes, coilovers, camber arms, toe bolts, rims, tires and lugs are all on order or have arrived already.

The rims I'll be mounting are Vossen's new 086 rims in machined matte black. I really like how they looked on Vonyc's G so I had to get them via D2-Autosport. I talked to Jav at Vossen about which tire sizes and offsets to go with and if the BBK will fit. He replies same day all the time and things look like it's gonna fit nicely. Once I got them, I opened all the boxes to check the rims and they all looked good with no defects at all. These rims are noticeably lighter than my stock 18 inch rims. They also came with the center caps and valve stems.

The coilovers and camber/toe parts are needed because these 20 inch rims call for a drop. I got them from no other than Ryan at Forged. He replies to his messages really fast and has good prices. Very fast transaction.

More info on the BBK's will come soon and install pics are soon to come also.


Some current pics:





Just detailed

Generally not a fan of Vossen's but I like the look of those, especially the black barrel. Should look great w/ the KWs!

These rims do look good. Vossen did a good job on getting these made.

I like the look of these wheels. Are these actually lighter than the stock 18's? I never knew our stock 18s were that heavy. I'm curious as to how much these weigh and our stock 18s weigh. There are specs out there for the 19s but I have yet to find the ones for our stock 18s.

The stock 19's are forged while the stock 18's are cast rims. So that's why.

The BBK's fit just fine. Around 10+mm clearance in the front and around 3-5mm in the rear.

Here are some pics:

I didn't mention the size of the BBK's. The front are 15" rotors with 8 piston calipers. The rear are 14" rotors with 6 piston calipers. I got them from Blackline MS.
