Question Josh or Jason??

Not entirely sure who is up on comms here from GUWs but I just sent you guys a PM and have been pushing your bandwidth since this post of yours! lol

Please let me know via PM if we could work something out.

I heard the Avant Garde wheels are heavier. Can you confirm? Just curious.

Not heavier but varies wheel to wheel. The M621 is a rotary forged wheel so it will be lighter than the CVT.

Now if you're comparing some of the M500 wheels, they can be heavier... For instance, the M540, super mesh wheel, a lot of material. That will definitely be heavier.

Just the V-FF 103 and the V-FF 107. Also, the V-FF 107 has a 64.1 center bore so it'll need to be bore out for hub ring use or a custom 64.1 to 60.1 hub ring will need to be made.

Also, the 19" sizes are like... 19x8.5 with 19x9.5.

Default I'm out.....

Sorry to take up real estate on your thread Spam. Guess I'm no where near this league yet. Call it a new vehicle, call it frustration due to a TBI, but all these spec numbers, offsets, and stuff being rattled off may as well be written in Chinese (no offense to anyone of said descent).

Therefore, I'll just revert to being a Grunt and observe until properly educated.

Thanks folks.

Gunny out.....

I'm just curious about that comment. I've been running Vossen for a while with no issues whatsoever

On their website I'm seeing 19s for the 101s? Also up to 19x11?

yup.. you're not wrong that the website does say available sizes in etc etc but it doesn't clearly state that 19" in 5X114.3.. and I'm looking at their live parts list and the only 5X114.3 sets are

20X10 +40 CB 70.5
20X11 +50 CB 70,5
20X9 +38 CB 60.1
20X10.5 +45 CB 60.1

their 19" sizes are in 5X112, 5X120 and 5X130.

Well, the 20X10 20X11 staggered setup would fit but would require spacers on the rear to flush it out.
