Need Similar Wheels to V-FF107

Hey guys,

i am having a tough tough time finding wheels that look similar to the V-FF 107 wheel from Vorsteiner. Unfortunately, they are not garunteed fitment for the C43, and I want to find one that is.

Any suggestions on similar wheels? Thanks all.

Yes they do indeed, and that’s great but I would like a manufacturer to garuntee fitment and vorsteiner does not explicitly do this.

Ahh I see. Good luck with that, those are nice looking wheels and I would be interested in an answer as well!

Guarantee fitment? There are cars running these wheels. They fit. It’s 19x8.5 +32 front and 19x9.5 +46 rears.

Youre going to have no rims if you’re waiting around for a magic sign.

agreed, brands are only going to guarantee fitment are making custom offsets specifically for that particular customer. Which usually means a forged wheel, which is 2-3 times more expensive than these.

And, third party distributors may guarantee this fitment even if it doesn't come directly from the manufacturer.

When I talked with Vorsteiner they told me they have one for the w205 body. And I got it. During installation my tireshop mechanic told me, it would be a bit safe if I put a 3mm spacer on the front because the front inner clearance apparently is a recipe for disaster if a small rock gets in between the arm and the rim beads.

Also alexsa and star4life can tell you just by reading the rim size and offset if it will work or not.

Guys do you need longer bolts from the factory ones if you run a 5mm spacer?

Rule of thumb is 6 full rotations on the lug into the base.

Love these wheels. I email them and they told me to only order 19 and not 20.
