Thank you for your business.

Hurry get things together now, haha.

Hey bro, thanks for the kind words! Those are custom 21 inch Vossen EVO-3R wheels, midnight smoke, F: 9.5, R: 10.5. I don’t know the exact offsets yet. Will post them as soon as they tell me.

Car is getting wrapped with XPEL STEALTH and ceramic coated on top. Should give it that modern Satin Black look.

They are not the absolutely lightest forged wheels out there, but still reasonably light.
Full wheel weight savings (compared to OEM): 7 lbs per rear (265>295), 8 lbs per front wheel (255>265).
If you go down to 20s, it will save you a ton more weight.

Thanks, bro. I added a pic. They put the old wheels on to coat the new ones. I like how pronounced the body curves now look.

Do you mind posting a few pics of your car after clear XPel and ceramic?
