Default Ordering aftermarket wheels...opinions please

Hello everyone,

Happy holidays!

I am going to order after wheels for my F...was thinking of ordering from element wheels. Was going to go with vossen I think.

Any opinions on the company or wheels?

I am getting stag fit..but is there anything I need to worry about? Like the tires rubbing?

Kinda both. I mean I of course want them to look good... I don't really drive hard. Most times I run an errand and that's it.

I would assume looks will come with any wheel the owner chooses. I am sure no one would purchase what they considered "ugly" wheels. With that said, you will not gain performance adding weight. However, if you are just running errands...you won't notice the difference.

Check the vendors section. Lots to choose from. I guess it comes down to what you really.

There are some vendors here who can get the most sought after wheels from Japan or even those that are built right here in the US for a great deal. Some offer tire packages, too, which is definitely a bonus. I'm not sure what "stag fit" is, but I presume it'll be close or completely flush all around. Do you know what size you're looking to get? Stock wheels are 19", so 19 or 20" are what pretty much everyone gets.
