Everyone has seen the OEM spoiler lol. I'll get a picture up soon.

I will have the second full week off in July, but I can't do anything the weekend of the 12th, but the following weekend there is a car show at the Keeneland track. I've never been to it but I've heard they have a lot of exotics, it's kind of like the minor league to Pebble Beach. You should come up then!

I may be able to swing that depending. I'm in China the 4th through the 13th but leave for LA on the 20th I think. I've been to Pebble Beach, that was awesome!

As long as I can get the struts on I'm game for a road trip once things slow down though.

I'm taking a road-trip up to Canada on the 12th to visit with a couple of friends I made years ago on Maxima.org. We all drive G Sedans now. Matt has a SC on his 2003... it's kind of frightening.

Quick update:

Exhaust is suppose to be here Monday, and I have installs scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday depending on if it actually gets here Monday.

I have scheduled an appointment to have my window trim re-wrapped by a different company this time who will use the correct product and not one with duct tape texture. If it doesn't work out this time then I will give up on trying to have it done.

I think after the exhaust gets installed next up will be coil overs and Vossens. I'm leaning towards either of these:

CV2 in matte silver:


VFS2 in polished silver:


The only thing I don't like about these rims is they they don't come in 19", but that's not a huge deal, well... price too...

What do you all think?

I really like the SSRs, Japanese company and fairly light weight, and many offsets available (and 19" too )
About $1600-1700 a set from TreadDepot.com: SSR Wheels

Those new 15-spoke VFS2 rims are beautiful.

I really like the first SSR you posted there Brad. Very nice.

Those VFS2 are pretty sick too, but if they are only 20's that would kinda turn me away from them.

They don't make a good rear rim offset in the SSR GTV03. But man that is a good looking rim!

GTV03 19-10.5 5:114.3 15ET
GTV03 19-10.5 5:114.3 25ET

The all new VF/Seriess | Vossen Wheels

Right now, only 20" and 22". It seems a typical thing for VOSSEN, to come out with the larger diameter rims first. The CVT was only available in 20" and 22" for over a half year before the 19" came out last February.

I do like the first ones you posted. Definitely worth a little research.

If they follow the same path as the CVTs and it takes about a half a year that would work with my time frame. I'm thinking of trying to make a decision around January and try to get whatever I decide to go with installed when I take my winter wheels off. Plenty if time and plenty of options.

I didn't like the Vossen VFS2 at first but the more I see them the more I like them.

They've got a nice staggered set of 19s w/ perfect coupe offsets~
19x8.5 +25
19x9.5 +35
And for Sedans
19x8.5 +38
19x9.5 +45
Agree about the 10.5 offsets, those would require some work to fit.
