Car looks so on point. Varrstoen has the best looking rep.

Are you sure that's 20x9 up front? They usualy try to push the 20x10 fronts on everyone when you buy the 20x11 rear.

Is that what they call the hyper black face or is it hyper silver?

You're right, the fronts are actually 20x10.
I just ordered 20x9 to replace those, should arrive end of this week.
So I'll be selling my two 20x10 fronts shortly.

I had a feeling they were the 20x10's because the lip looked like their 20x10.

Did you confirm what color the faces are?

I'm thinking of doing this wheel on an older Audi S8 project I have in mind.

Not sure, but it's the latest/second version with lighter grey center.

Why go from 10's to 9's in the front?

if you read the earlier posts it's because he was having clearance issues.

Finally back from my suspension (again)

I got new size for the front wheels, 20x9 (left) compared to the old 20x10 (right) - both use the same 255/30/20 tires:



Some pics taken by others at car meets:

Beautiful car. Tastefully modded.

What suspension are you running? Is it just the lowering module?

Just love you car, and photography's not bad.
Are the rear arches stretched out a bit ?
I have a new 63 but my plan is to wait for a really early 55 or 65 to come along, maybe 20k ish in Mars red of course, and totally refurb it.
Without doubt your R230 is the best out there.

Not stretched but all inner fenders are rolled.
