thanks B,

i will let you know if i want in on this next monday. i'll sit on it for a bit. the only thing keeping me from buying this is the fact that these are not much of an upgrade from what i have now.

#11 made me laugh. These wheels are seriously hot. Just the concept of getting these gets me going.

Sorry for the bad questions earlier Blake, the lip size was in your origional post.

As it pertains to weight, I would hate to get a wheel that actually makes the car slower due to the increased weight.

What size of tire would you run on this? Sorry if it was already posted.

I did stop at Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim to get a comparison of what a competing brand would cost. It appears this is an AWESOME deal!!!!

I like the fact that the company is local in So Cal. Any idea of what type of warranty we get? Is there a such thing as a warranty?
(1 Year - found it in another post)

Geez, if I do this, I'm going to be eating Top Ramen for awhile.

Seriously considering this.

Recommended tire sizes are 235/35/19 (front) and 265/30/19 (rear). Yes, this is an unbelievable deal because we're essentially getting CUSTOM wheels for a fraction of the price. Velocity offers a 1 year warranty.

The tires are Nitto's 265's if that makes any difference. The other option is a new set from Euroteck in 18". Yea, I know, there's no lip on the rear.

Plans are to NOT lower right away but will want to at some point later this year. Most likely H&R springs or Tein Basic.

Thanks! Oh, and as if you haven't seen them enough times before......


same question here! anybody lowered on bremmas having rubbing issues? w/265 rear?

Stock suspension shouldn't be a problem at all.

TSW Bremmas made with a C32 offset should be perfect. There are many people that have run this setup.

Search for phattbam's threads/posts. He was mentioned as one of the people that had this setup before.
