makes me miss my vs-xx's. one of a kind, and now they're gone (guy i sold them to bent 3 of the 4 wheels).
couldn't have said it better Calvin...i've always liked the clean flush look, just not the hyped up Hellaflush/poke/stretch/camber look
but at least the days of +35 offset being normal on G35driver are over, thank goodness for that


OP, clean car, i respect the OG look +17 offset FTW (on my SF winnings too)

yeeaa same here, the guy i bought the wheels from (sean/sxexcx) actually sold them to me because at the time, they were deemed too aggressive for him & he wasn't down to roll his fenders.

OP nice wheels I like the offsets the 10mm up front would have worked well IMO. Not sure about white on white let see some pics.

Sig worthy^^^

I was starting to feel I was the only one that thought that way When I got my 19x12" +10mm a few years ago everyone hated them because they were too aggressive now they are considered weak sauce I guess they work for I need them for.....putting massive torque to the ground

i should have a bbk and a new exhaust by the end of the year. i'll do another shoot then. the white on white is more personal preference if anything. i grew up loving white on white type Rs.
