Huge Shout Out to Vibe Motorsports!
I just wanted to put a huge shout out to Vibe Motor Sports. I purchased a set of Vorsteiner V-FF103 wheels from them and had a few issues. I will say that these guys went well above and beyond to help my issues get resolved and make me a happy customer. I have no affiliation and I live in Atlanta, but when I really wanted to give them props for being such an outstanding vendor.
I will put up a write up on the Vorsteiner V-FF103 wheels when I get some decent pictures taken. Right now I have the uglies bolts on them as there was no way for the factory ones to work. The rear fitment is VERY aggressive.

Vibe sent everything 100% correct. They fixed all issues and ate all the cost 100%. above and beyond they took care of everything and where nice about it.
I will put up a separate review of the wheels. I love them on the car and the figment is very aggressive. The rears ended up needing a 3mm spacer which was not advertised and I don't like but in the end is not a huge deal. The rears are very concaved and as deep as you can go on the C63. They just missed the backspace requiring the spacers and no one knew. All of the ads at every company say no spacers required. Reality is that is not correct.
Vibe had custom spacers made and sent them priority and in addition sent new boots at their cost priority. They took care of every issue and where great about it.

Nice to see companies like them standing up to offer great customer service after sales.
3mm spacers are not a big deal, I don't even think u need longer bolts for that. The only thing I would worry is vibration since they are not hubcentric.

I agree. The spacers they had made are custom and fit very nice. It runs 100% smooth so I'm happy. I was not expecting to need the spacers and vibe was not expecting it either but they made it right.
Stock bolts are a no go. Need 30mm and they can not be acorn.
Stock bolts in front are good to go.

Wow, I'm surprised to hear 3mm can make such a difference with the 27mm stock bolts.
As long as there is no vibration, u should be good to go.
What are the specs after the 3mm spacers in the rear? I hope u are not rubbing

Wheels where 47 offset plus the 3mm spacer. The vff-103 wheels are conical type lug bolt not the acorn style. The stock lug bolts stuck way out of the rear wheels and barely 1 thread would engage.
I had some 28mm cone style studs and they work fine. They have a good engagement. 30mm would be a bit better. It's just the way the holes are machined in the wheels.
The stock bolts would work fine in the front. The rears are just made much different.
I'm running 265/30/19 in rear and completely flush. It seems to clear and no run issues that I can see right now. I will be lowering so will see how that goes.

Vibe Motorsports; My Own Shout Out and Experience!
After my recent dealings with Vibe, I too wanted to throw up a "Huge shoutout".
After becoming the winning ebay bid on a set of Stance rims, I decided I wanted a set of Rohana wheels instead. At first I was just gonna take the loss and resell them since ebay law holds me to the offer and requires payment. Having nothing to loose at that point I asked Vibe to allow me to back out and go with the Rohana's anyhow. Long story short, not only did they allow me to back out, without me asking they sold me the Rohana's at the discount I was getting on the Stance wheels.
As I'm sure your all aware, company's such as Vibe and the customer service they offer are hard to come by. I highly recommend Vibe for all your motorsports needs. THANKS Vibe, my rims fit beautifully and look amazing!

Same type of experience I had. I had a few issues and thy where not vibes fault but they too care of it and no complaining.
I'm glad it was not a 1 off deal.
For the record I live in Georgia and have no info on this company other than my experience. I just like to say they did very well for me as a customer.
