I finally decided on wheels and got them ordered today. I went with VMR V705's satin black finish, 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. They will be wrapped in Nitto Invos.

I havent seen these wheels around all that much and the customer service from VMR was great - I got the invoice from them straight away and the tracking numbers a few hours later. Don at VMR really helped me with the offset and color choices. I was so close to going with a crazy color but i stayed conservative and went with satin black.

Now the wait for FEDEX!

I recieved these last monday. a day early from Fedex - how often does that happen. Wheels were well packed and protected. I can't wait to get these fitted on the car, I am just waiting on Nitto to ship my rear tires. I was going to run 275's but backed off and went down to 265's.

On a side not the rears are really concave. It is quite elusive until you see them from the edge.

Now i am thinking about doing a stud conversion and adding some tuner lugs?

Are these the wheels?:

[loomie]

Thats them!

Please post pics of them on your car...im dying to see how they look like...tempted to buy a set but didnt wanna be the guinea pig

[loomie]

These give a decent view of how concave they are, pictures dont really project the concave very well on this wheel.

I ended up ordering a stud conversion kit and having some open ended lugs color matched to the car, I think that will contrast well with the black wheels and show off the concave much better.

[loomie]

it helps if i attach the pictures!

[bboy8282]

subscribed so i can see how itll look on the car

I got these on the car last weekend and have been enjoying the new ride all week. Today I got around to giving the car a good clean and snapped a few pictures of the new wheel set up. The stud conversion kit from Motorsport Hardware is top notch and was really woth the investment, with the motorsport style wheels the studs look the part. The VMR quality is excellent, the wheels took very little weigh to balance them and the finish is perfect on them. They are wrapped in Nitto INVO tires. I washed and detailed the car using products from Voodoo Ride. I am always trying new cleaning supplies and saw their products and gave them a shot on my show truck and have used them on all my rides since. Great stuff fair priced and endorsed by Dale Jr.

Are those the 75mm stud kit? I was pondering getting a stud kit myself and wasn't sure if I'd go for 75 or 57mm.

[loomie]

Yes, that is the 75 mm kit. I'm very happy with it and think it makes a great addition to the car.

Something about silver cars with black wheels... heart throb.

Your wheels look delicious, grats!
