The kicker that day, was I didn't have my wheel lock in the car. Had to leave the car, get a ride home, find the lock, come back with a spare.... ugh..
Oh trust me, I went back and forth. In the end, my 9 year old told me he liked these better.
The manlove struggle is real, Brian...

Hey, it looks like you are putting the snows on the new wheels? That should look nice for the winter. Joking of course....I hope you bought another set of drag radials so we can see you get that car into the 10's. Some intake tubing along with good weather should be all that you need. Are you planning for the November rental?

Thanks, a nice timely changeup. The Vossen VFS1's should look killer. The gunmetal, ties in nicely with the carbon fiber work on the car...

You'd think the forum would offer a third party discrete billing system with a ship to address. There has been a few items that I could have used such a service for to keep things off the household radar. Hahaha.... Good luck!!! I got about 1 more track day left in my MTs and then I'll be in your boat. Now lets see pics of those wheels teaser boy!

You'd think there's a business in that somewhere...

Lol... Thought you'd like that. It's like when the top of a g-string pokes out of the waist of her jeans...

Hey the car looks great, its amazing how you continue to keep it current/ modern looking with a just a new set of wheels. They are nice and tasteful, with a perfect stance. Enjoy!!!

Split 5's, but yeah... I almost did VSF2's in matte bronze, but my 9 year old liked these better. And so do I now. He was right...
Thanks.
Thanks Rich. My man region moves a little bit when I sit in her...
255/30/20 and 305/25/20 Not sure on offsets. They're perfect, whatever they are...

What tires did you end up getting? I know you have had good experience with the Continentals, but it doesn't look like they are available in your size. I was just pricing the PS2s I have in 305/30/19s and they are $565 each from tire rack
. Meanwhile the 305/25/20s are $474. It takes all of the fun out of 50 mph burnouts with the cooler weather, but what can you do? They do dig in though if you don't go full pedal.

I ended up with the Hankook V12s. I got in on one of the last sets of the outgoing models when all of the tire outlets were blowing them out.
I'm lucky to get 5k miles out of a set these days. That camber tho...
