New VMR v710 Wheels!

Hey guys,

Finally got a new set of wheels/tires on my '09 coupe!

VMR v710 Matte Black
-19x8.5" front
-19x9.5" rear

Nankang NsII Tires
-245/40/19 front
-275/35/19 rear

Next thing will be to get it dropped. Let me know what you guys think.


Also, I know I can't post in the marketplace section since I hardly post on here, but if anyone is in need of 18" non-sport OEM wheels/tires (Dunlop Sport Max), let me know as well!


Thanks!

What are the offsets ?

EDIT: It's nice, I was considering these but the offsets weren't aggressive enough for me. Does is it sit flush with your fender though ?

Front- 35; Rear- 22

And gotcha...what are you running on yours? So far haven't had any problems with the fender. Just got these today, so really haven't driven much in them.

I had them on my A4 and as much as I like these wheels, they don't seem to work well on the G37.

I was referring to how they flow on the G coupe. Then again it may just be because you're not lowered yet. Does that include install+Springs? if not it seems kinda high to me.

That's a pretty good deal. About $220 for the springs, $160 for the install, $80 for the alignment.

Alignment should be done after the springs settle, which normally takes about a week or two
