New wheels for my C, slight issue :(
My new wheels arrived to much excitement but the fronts were supposed to be rebored to 66.6 and they aren't. Replacements will be here next Wednesday but I'll be out of town on business and have to wait until the following Monday to get them mounted. Wheels are VMR V705 19x8.5 ET +45 and 19x9.5 ET 45. I'll be running Falken FK452 215/35-19 front and 225/35-19 rear. I love stretch and poke so it'll be a pretty good stance once I dial it in with spacers. Here's a few unboxing pics until the get mounted. Pics are of the 9.5 and have a nice concavity for such a weak offset. Comments welcome!



And my car as it sits now on H&R coils

Sexy! Very ADV.1

How much did they run you if you don't mind me asking?

$1040.00 rebored and shipped from Redline Motorworks. I've purchased several sets of wheels from Andrew, he's awesome!

Not enough stretch for me, I like the exposed lip look. You'll see what I mean once I get them mounted

This is the look I had on my Audi on Rotiform NUE's

Definitely will bro! Can't wait to get them mounted. I switch wheels often so these were much more cost effective than dropping $4-5K on ADV.1's

Nice looking wheels

225/35 on a 9.5 will really give you an aggressive stretched look with the lip fully exposed. Just watch out for those darn potholes.

I actually did put them on for one day. If they made a 19x9.5 in the cast version I would have kept them. 8.5 in the rear is just a bit too narrow for me. They did look awesome though! Like a idiot I forgot to take pictures

Finally got em mounted, here's a few quick iPhone pics completely flush front and rear. I'll dial it in with spacers when I get the chance.

nice wheels, I really didnt like them at first but tires dressed them up, lookin good. My question is why be so high sitting on coils? Its hard to tell w the pics u took but it looks like your almost at stock height, barely dropped? Are u just waiting to dial in or is that the look? either way I think u should do 10mm out back maybe even 15mm, u have plenty of room, Im lookin forward to the finished pics
