Look like Vorsteiner, especially with the "V" logo.

I sure don't but they looks nice! Typically dont like gold coloured wheels but that hue with at that style on black car is nice.

Maybe a bit off the typical approach for aftermarket wheels (with all the larger diameters) but here are my track-centric wheels 18x9 fronts, 18x11 rears. Formula 43 forged 3 piece wheels in black hard anodized with Booth center caps.

I am not familiar with the car so I don't know the specs of the wheels, but I can see that the wheels are too wide for the tires since the wheel rims extend well beyond the tire sidewall.

It is hard to tell from the pics, but it also looks like the wheels extend beyond the fender wells. Not a good look, IMO.

One word, "Stance." That is the look kids are going for these days. I'm not a fan either.

i agree with you both. But i think the wheels would look great if they added +10-15mm to the offset. That is why i'm curious to know what specs those are. It is hard to find wheels for our cars with a front lip like that.

Nice wheels, but I think you need some black center caps - JMHO.

Some nice wheels! Love the HRE FF01 in "IPA." Can't wait to see some cars with the new HRE FFs.


Now these beautiful BBS can be yours!







New car has center locks, so (sadly) these have to go... My ad here: https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...ing-wheel.html





Wheel #1 (front): This is the one with the very light and small bit of rash. As you can see, it's so minor, and easily rectified. Almost covered up with tire's rim protector:


Closeup. Other than this, the wheels are near perfect:


Wheel #2 (rear): Looks great!


Wheel #3 (rear): Looks like-new!


Wheel #4 (front): Looks fantastic!


Free Red OEM BBS Caps. Used only once. Rare now:


Always properly stored!
