Default New VMR 803 Wheels installed with pics!!

Got these installed a couple of weeks ago and just getting around to starting a thread about these:

-Specs 8.5 +35 Front & 9.5 +45 Rear I wanted sizes that wouldn't rub or interfere when I drop the car eventually on coil overs or springs. I'm running 245/275 tire sizes

-Quality is top notch for the price point

-Flow Formed gives you a better constructed wheel than a cast wheel

-Reasonably light weight at 21.8 lb Front & Rear 23.4 lb (definitely lighter than the stock BBS Forged)

- Another good thing is they are machined in house so you don't need hub centric rings

-Give Mitch a call over at VMR if you have any further questions and he'll answer them for you

-Here are a few pics that I took when I had put them on and washed the car below:

Thanks, I thought that they would give me the contrast I wanted against the USB and that's exactly what they did!

Agreed! The blue lugs that you guys have work perfect with the USB because they practically match the paint.

Absolutely none! Drives straight and smooth just like it did with the stock wheels.

I think you can ditch the "Stock for now..." in your sig. These wheels look great on your F. They really complement the USB and add a nice sporty look to the wheel wells. Great choice!

They look great. What lugs are those if you don't mind me asking?

Don't know the name of them, they were just an option through VMR when I ordered the wheels. When he said that he had some options as far as colors for the lugs, I thought it would be a perfect fit for the contrast and paint
