Default Getting New Vossen VVS-084 Wheels

On Sunday October 16th, I attended my first CL meet (The Pursuit 3) at the Irwindale Speedway. Prior to arriving I had every intention on placing my raffle ticket inside of the box for Vossen Wheels, expecting to lose knowing how many other attendees would want the grand prize as well. After a long day of hanging out with old friends and meeting new friends, I was announced as the winner!! I am overly excited about getting these on Lylah (aka my IS300). Since Sunday I have been e-mailing back and forth with Mike (Mike@Vossen) and he has been prompt and extremely helpful with the wheels. As they only offer 19-20" wheels, I figured go big or go home, right?! So I'm planning on getting 19x8.5 ET32/19x10 ET38, and MAKING them fit. (If anybody has any experience with these fitments, any advice would be greatly appreciated! )

Here are the wheels I will be receiving:


For those of you who don't know, this is what my car looks like as of now. I've had Lylah for ~4 months and have recently swapped suspension with 94supranat (Tokico Illuminas and Tanabe GF210 )


More pics to come once I get the VVS-084's on !

Congrats to another fellow VVS084 winner.. I thought the same thing. Expecting not to win and than the email came from Mike lol... Your really going to like these wheels and 19's on the IS will look great..

I think you'll be very pleased with the service and quality from Vossen. They work hard very hard to satisfy the customer..

Enjoy the wheels...
