[TEASER] Got my rims!

SpacE82 · 06-24-2010, 09:03 PM

Just a few quick pics of my new wheels. I am doing a photoshoot w Johan from WheelSTO and my brother on Saturday, so there will be better pics then. But for the time being, enjoy:

EDIT: Photoshoot pictures are in post 20!

Wheels:
VMR V710
Front: 18x8.5 offset 45
Rear: 18x9.5 offset 50

Tires:
Hankook V12
Front: 225x50
Rear: 245x35

I'm so happy with how they turned out. Special thanks to Johan and the WSTO crew. It was definitely worth the wait for these and the WSTO guys are great to deal with. Thanks again guys!!
