very nice set of wheels and suits your car well. what tyre sizes are you running?
are they cast or forged?
any idea of the weight of the 20x10.5? will they be lighter than the vossens?
can they be ordered in any custom offset or only fixed offsets like vossens?

Beautiful ride Mike, love the color of the damn wheels matches the ride nicely.
Saw the car a few weeks back in person, it's almost perfect from the outside, I was amazed it was being driven lol. Why is everything considered a knockoff, there were plenty of 5 spoke, 7 spoke, split 5 spoke and 10 spoke wheels out before Vossen's guys, I mean come on....

The newer headlights are non AFS, so I will be keeping these. However, I do plan on painting them black chrome just like the new headlights, but I'll be doing the turn signal portion in black chrome as well!

Rolling shots, when done right are always my favorite man! And like you said, when the brakes pop, just makes it that much better!

255/30-20 All around. They are cast. Not entirely sure what Vossens weigh since I have not weighed a set myself, but I would imagine they are very close. And I do believe they are sold in set offsets. If you're interested in getting a set or seeing what they have exactly for you, let me know and I can set you up with the guys over at Velgen.

Haha thanks Paul! Color is almost too close sometimes. Agree with the knock off thing, but whatever, Vossen makes nice wheels as well, so if they're being compared, I'm not taking it as an insult.

Painted them myself. The logo is a vinyl logo that I had cut. Apply it to the base coat, then clear coat over it.

I am seriously impressed; it looks terrific!

I would think the heat would cook the vinyl logo... no?

Use high temp paint, but the outside of the caliper really doesn't get all that hot. There are tons of people on here that have painted their calipers and applied vinyl decals to the caliper. Theres even a DIY on here in the DIY thread.

This pic FTW, really shows off the deep concave and the overall badas$ness of your coupe, very nice aggressive look, stance & fit are spot-on

Thanks man. Wish you could see the concave of the fronts as well in that pic but you definitely get it in the rears. I need to lower the front a little more and then I'll be happy.
