Need some wheel info
Had I known I end up back in a C63 3 months later I wouldn't have sold the wheels.
If I can get them back I'd do white fasteners, white lips, gloss black face, and a white ADV center. ***** to clean but awesome when done.
So are u sticking with ADV for this coming set or open to some other companies? 3pcs again or monoblock forged?
I highly recommend u monoblocks, not as high maintenance.
Prefer monoblock. What are your thoughts on CCW? Reasonable pricing, built to spec, I just never see them around these parts.
VPS Forged Lightweight Concave 15 spoke or Schmidt, I can't remember. They've only been on the car once. He sent them out for refinishing before the transfer.
I'm excited though. Gonna use one set as track or "winter" and one as pimping, flossing the car out at night.
I feel you about paying 8k$ on wheels.. That's why I looked into the used market for my P40SC

Specs:
'12 coupe
Rear wheels are Forgestar 19" x 10" +52
Rear tires are 275/30/19 Nitto NT05s
Lowered on H&R springs with stock 13mm pads
No rubbing
I stuck my hand up there, and the liner is pretty close to the tire, I'd say I have about 6 or 7mm gap. I couldn't even squeeze my finger in the gap. You can tell from the pics that the little sprues or "hairs" are pretty much touching the liner. Keep in mind that this is the back of the tires, not sure what the top looks like as I couldn't get my phone to squeeze up there.
Pics are from the rear, looking upwards into the fender well:
I'm over the 11's at this point. I'm not going to modify my fenders which is the only way.
sigh, thanks gents
