Default Velgen VMB7 Gunmetal on White 2015 GS FSport

Just got these mounted today. I drove home with 4 OEM wheels in the back seat and an extra tire in the trunk and there is absolutely no rubbing. In terms of ride quality compare to OEM, I would say its 9/10.

Setup:
Lowered on Swift Springs
Velgen VMB7 Matte Gunmetal
20X9 +35 with Nitto NT555 G2 245/35/20
20X10.5 +45 with Nitto NT555 G2 285/30/20

I had been going back and forth on these exact Velgen wheels on my white GS, and I think you just sold me on them. I love the set up.

Good luck with the purchase PM me if you need any help. Pictures don't justify the rims but here is another one.

Man you're killing me... I was hoping to buy exhaust and springs in the next month or so, but now I may have to move wheels up my list...

Where did you order yours from and do you feel like you got a good deal?

Go with swift springs. You will not regret it and you can run 285. I'm more about comfort and drivability than looks. It's low enoguh where you will see and feel a difference but not too low where you have to worry about driveways and speed bumps.

Exhaust is next on my list and I'm done.

Unfortunately I have an AWD GS, I wanted a RWD but my dealer wouldn't dealer trade for one since the nearest dealer was "out of range". Anyway I've been looking at RSR either downs or super downs, haven't decided yet. I have another car for a daily so I can afford to drop it pretty low, but I don't know if I want to go super low. Wheels, springs, exhaust, and probably jdm fogs and front lip are going to be my extent.
