Diamond Black SF Winnings

Custom ordered them back in September and I just got them yesterday. I apologize for the bad pictures, the tires are really rubbing the fenders so I can't pull it out of the garage..I'll post better pictures this weekend.




19x9.5 255/35/19 +19 offset
19x10.5 285/35/19 +17

Profile4 - you don't have the same offsets, you have a +29 in the rear... that's why I did so much research on these wheels before ordering... sure, I'm not going to have a super-gigantic lip in the rear, but I can lower my car to the ground and not have to worry about rolling the fenders (with a 285/35, 295/30, or even a 305/30!)

But after looking at these pics, I've very happy I'm getting these wheels... they are the PERFECT wheels for the G IMO (but in Merc Silver )

Hope you enjoy them and get everything worked out! Have a merry x-mas!

I'm also lowered on Eibachs though. Bza is exactly right about the offsets, if you dont want to end up rolling the fenders dont go too aggressive. Me personally I wanted the aggressive look so I dont mind rolling the fenders to get there. the tires are 255/35 front and 285/35 rear. Love the BFG's and I have to thank Mike at Revhighonline.com because I didn't know this color was an option.

oh ok, my rear lip measures 3.5", a lil bigger than the width of a cigarette box. i'm also running the BFG KDW's (awesome tires IMO) but my rears are only 275 width (i like the stretched look and it kinda reduced chances of rubbing). sweet choice in rims tony, they do look badass in diamond black, i think that ducatiguy has the same color. oh yes, taking a closer look at your rears you do have a huge *** lip back there, hehehe...
bza- i too think these are the perfect wheels for the G, they seem to retain the smoothness and sport-luxuryness of the car.
good luck with the rims fellahs and take note - DO NOT SPRAY CLEANERS OR APPLY RIM POLISH TO THE LIP, YOU WILL RUIN IT. talking to a few sources from Volk, these lips are clear coated so polishes will put tiny scratches on it and cleaners will eat away at it leaving a white stain.

yep - put a little bit of wax on them before mounting them, then just clean with good ole' soap and water... treat them like you would treat the paint on your car...

I had rubbing really bad initially, I got the fenders rolled back a little bit and I could drive but they would still rub, then I got them rolled back completely and no more rubbing issues.
