Car looks awesome!

Got a couple of questions for you as I am looking into getting some new wheels and am thinking about some Vossens but going to 20's is making me a bit nervous.

Is there a big difference being lowered via Star vs the links? Is one a better method than the other? Also, going to 20's, was there a big difference in ride quality? A lot more harshness?

Thanks in advance for the info.

Sorry for the late response, just came back to this thread and happen to read through it again and saw this. I am not completely sure what you are asking but if you let me know I can look for you. I will be back home tomorrow night.

Are you wanting to know like the inside edge of the tire, as to how close it is? As in can you run an even wider tire or something like that?
