Default VMR Wheels on the RC F...

I looked at a LOT of wheels that I felt would make my RC F pop, and I kept coming back to the VMR V710FF wheels. Deep concave. So I reached out to Tracy at Velocity Motoring / VMR in Anaheim. He worked closely with me to ensure the size, offsets and custom powdercoat was just right for what I was looking for. The finished product as pictured yesterday. Tracy nailed it. It is exactly as I'd hoped. Stance is much more aggressive now without lowering and without surrendering the stock Michelin PSS tires. Specs are 19x10.5 +35, and 19x9.5 +33. I highly recommend the VMR FormFlow (FF) wheels and you can rest assured working with Tracy at Velocity Motoring.

I worked with Tracy as well to get some VMR Wheels as a winter setup for my GS-F. Great guy to work with and very helpful. I also highly recommend VMR Wheels and Tracy these wheels are high quality!

Looks great! Doing some math, with the front OEM 9 by +50 the new wheel extends 23mm out and with the rear OEM 10 by +41 the new wheel extends 12.3mm out.

I am also searching around a lot of the right wheels, yours look great, but in the mean time was going to get spacers to extend rear by 15 and front by 20; could we get a long profile picture so I can see the flushness (if that's a word) of the wheels to fender?

Thanks in advance!
Keoni.

Looks good. Also, looks like you are running the stock springs, correct? Got a side profile shot of the car?

Thx for your patience guys - I've been slammed at work this week. Here's the side shot. Yes, running stock springs. Unlike my previous performance cars I'm not screwing with the suspension during this stage of the warranty. Also, San Antonio roads pretty much suck and that gap is insurance. The tires clear during compression even though it's pretty close as you can see. No spacers needed. I went with the V710FFs because before I bought the RC F last summer I test drove an M4 with Competition Package. Although the M4 wasn't my cup of tea, those wheels that came with the Comp package were sweet. Deep concave. Transformed the visuals of the car. I searched to get that look for my car and the search ultimately led me to VMR and Tracy.

Also want to thank Josh at Meraki for the quick ship on the Borla. Others asked if the tips can be painted. Yes they can. I painted with a high heat gloss black in my garage. Also want to thank Lou at Mods in Japan for getting me the carbon fiber under diffuser and Apexi suction kit in quick fashion. I'm all set. For now.

Those look fantastic and exactly what I'm looking for for my F. However, it seems like a downgrade going from OEM forged to flow formed...

I considered that - going from forged to form flow - and decided that: 1) impacts to how I use the car would be minimal, 2) aesthetics are more important for my vision of the car's build, and 3) the price was GREAT for a wheel with custom powdercoat and offsets.

Since I also bought the Borla, the cf diffuser, the Apexi intake kit, and a full Corsa exhaust for my Jeep GC Trailhawk at the same time, dropping $6-$8K on forged deep concave wheels was out of the question.

Ever driven in San Antonio? If you had you'd completely get why it's not lowered. My vette was lowered - big problems on some of the crappiest roads I've driven. Had to raise it back up. My RCF will never be lowered and I'm cool with that.
