Giddy, cackling laughter was my response when I saw my G on Vossen gloss graphite CVTs.

I've been looking for wheels for 4 years since getting my car in 2010 and finally was able to take the plunge this week. Below are a few images of the car and my experience with the rims!



I went with 19's because this is my daily driver and I liked the ride. Plus, lots of potholes in my part of Massachusetts.

Fronts: 19" x 8.5 +32
Rear: 19" x 10 +42

Another forum member had trouble with his valve stems clearing the front calipers on this 19" CV3s (also Vossen). I had the same problems BUT Vossen included TPMS adaptors with short stems which cleared my calipers without issue!




I am INCREDIBLY happy with the wheels, especially in the gloss graphite. And I can't say enough about the guys at Eastside Motoring for helping make this happen!

 

Beautiful wheels. It's the stock enkeis on steroid.

 

Great wheel choice and color to go w/ that red coupe, what size tires and drop are you running?

 

looks great man!

 

No drop!

Tires:

Front: 19/35/225
Rear: 19/45/275

 

Thanks,
looks a bit lower but those taller 45s in back would be the reason, nice work!

 

I'm usually not a fan of new wheels with no drop but this looks nice, well done!

 

looks very good, but will look better with the drop!

 

I don't disagree, but I wasn't willing to go that direction...yet =)

 

Wheels look good,and nice color to go with a red G

 

Beautiful combo!! Highly considering CVT's as well

 

Looks good!

I am seriously considering the silver version of the same rims for my red coupe but am having trouble spending the money on directional wheels.

Please tell us about your plan to rotate tires, since you got directional rims with different tire sizes f/r...

 

Silver is nice, I'm encouraging the graphite! As for rotation, I have an S coupe so its staggered; I can't rotate front to back. I could rotate the tires themselves off the rims, but I haven't really thought about that too much.

 

Looks great, fortunately I think you can pull off not dropping with this setup. I guess because it's not an X.

 

Keep in mind he's running tires in back that are 2.17" taller than OEM 19s (at least according to the tire sizes posted previously), hence the lack of fender gap.
