While I'm not expecting everyone to like this (especially after the GTR wrap and wheel post today) I wanted to share anyway. Vossen 3 piece wheels with titanium hardware 20" F and R with 325 Toyo 888r's out back. Traction is back! RW Carbon front, sides and rear. Stay tuned for a full wrap coming soon to help tie this all together !

I actually like the wheels ... I hope you don't mind me saying but I think you went way too big with your tire choice so they're ballooning way too much imo.

I don't mind at all! The rears are pretty mean it they fit the wheel well pretty good and they really fit the 12" wide wheel well but I understand it's not for everyone.

I forgot to mention...the fronts looks waaayyyyy too wide and there is a good reason for that. The wheels were delivered and there wasn't enough clearance between the wheel and the carbon ceramic caliper for my liking so I'm running a 5mm spacer for now while Vossen is kind enough to build me two new fronts. The fronts definitely stick out too far...they are 265's which are the go to on 95% of aftermarket 20" front wheels.
Thanks for the feedback!

Looks great. I really like the carbon add ons. Who did you choose. Did you install yourself?

Thanks all! Fronts are Michelin and the rears are Toyo 888R. 265 and 325. The 325 888's are seriously traction galore!
With the Eurocharged tune and DP's you can imagine traction is crap but with these 2nd and up is excellent!

RW Carbon front, sides and rear. I just can't phantom spending Renntech money on these parts.
