Group buy can't even officially BEGIN until we have 10 buyers, so it's hard to say. I'm hoping we can get at least 10 serious buyers together within a week or two, then the GB begins.

I'm hoping Velocity releases other colors, Adam. So far, it's just Super & Hyper Silver.

I have 35ET w/ 8.5" wide wheels for the front and they are perfect, matching my 35ET w/ 9.5" wide wheels for my rear.
ET28 will not stick out at all. My fronts are ET32 with a 5mm spacer, so around ET27 and they aren't even close to sticking out.

There is no way 35ET will clear coilovers with a decent drop.

Wheels look pretty damn good though. Will have to think this one over.

Good looking out Blake those wheels look great! Since they would be made to custom offsets do you have any Idea how large the rear lip will be? Best looking wheels I have seen at that price range. I may look into getting these for my girl's car if she gets a benz this summer. That way I won't get as pissed when she curbs them. +28 offset on a 8.5 width wheel won't stick out. I suggest +28 for anybody with coilovers. I was running +30 and my inner sidewall got punctured by the coilover perch so I went to a thicker spacer. 2mm is so small that you can't tell the difference and every little bit is needed for coilover clearance.

Velocity says the rear lip will be 2.5". Check the first post for all the specs I've received so far.

50% deposit when placing the order and the remaining balance paid 1 week before the ship date. First we have to get enough interest to even start the GB!

Consider the alternative... If we don't get this GB going, we can NEVER floss these wheels at all. You live in Cali, you can floss these in the sun during the winter!
