Love them!! Car will be lowered next week. Better pic's tomorrow.

I would have put a Vossen license plate frame on if I was sent them like someone else

Thanks guys

I have to say I have had almost every wheel companies wheels on my cars and these by far for the money are the nicest. No comparison.

Great job Vossen and great dealing with D2 as usual.

Thanks for the compliments. The car looks fantastic, can't wait to see that beast dropped.

You mentioned a Vossen plate...

Wow. Looks amazing. Very jealous. I am a 5 spoke wheel *****. It's the only style of rims rock...and these particular 5 spokes are just incredible.

Ever though about painting the side vents black to match the car? I think that might be a cheap but dramatic mod.

Thanks guys!

I am keeping the factory wheels for when I sell the car down the road.

I am also considering painting the side vents.

Do the side vents in Carbon like you planned they will look killer if you plan on doing the front lip or rear spoiler in carbon as well.

beautiful wheels and car. What type of lowering solution are you looking at. i am a bit interested in lowering my beast, but I would want it to drive at normal height and then be able to lower it while it is sitting. I know it sounds stupid. I just don't want to deal with ride issues or bad tire wear.

Doesn't sound stupid, Links are your solution, quite cheap as well and take about 15mins to install.
