Vossen Wheels + CarbonGS = New Look *Teaser*

[carbongs]

Yeah yeah, I know.... Not another teaser thread. However I am trying to dial in the fitment and all that before I post up the final shots. The car has been looking the same for so long with the old wheels I felt it was time for a change. Came across these Vossen Wheels and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Did my research. The materials they use are awesome, quality is great, and they have some clean designs. I wanted something clean and simple but also eye catching.

Sizes are:

20" x 9" +20

20" x 10.5" +25

These showed up on my door step a few days ago

Rear fitment without tires

Here's a vid of how it moves from all the way up to down. Probably will have to dial in some more camber to get it to tuck tire. Working on a new tire sponsorship now :)

Geordie personally putting on the center caps while lining them up to the logo on the wheels

Time to set it down and see what she sits like

We can’t have this, going to take her over to the alignment rack and dial in some negative camber for slammed effect

Bing (Verietk) helped me out by bringing the new wheels to the shop and taking my old wheels home for me. Glad to have him to hang out with while the boys at Butler took care of the car.

Let’s see what we have now after some adjustments

He made it so that the maxed out camber at lowest level slam would still track straight without issues. We were desperately trying to avoid toe issues.
