Group Buy: VS Forged Wheels
#221
For those of you that had VS Forged wheels made for your F Type: At what point do they send the box with the colored center caps, so you can choose/decide on finish? I've searched through, looking at various finishes, but get confused by some of the finishes. It seems sometimes Brushed Titanium looks lighter, almost like a Brushed Clear...and sometimes it looks darker, almost like the Brushed DDT.
Our car is Ammonite Gray with dark windows, and does have chrome/aluminum trim. We want a finish that accents the brightwork, without being overly bright and shiny. I *LOVED* the look of Tork Monster's VS03's; but we're shopping the VS21s, which have a more complex spoke profile. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks all!

Hi Jaggyx,
I Am wondering if the your recommended wheels offset are correct?
20 x 9.5 ET41 and 20 x 11 ET29
i read from some members that they opted for 20 x 9 and 20 x 10.5 . Am not sure which one should I choose?
will be great if you cAn share your car with your new rims install . It should be a beauty
thank you for advise

In talks with PK; photoshop request & tire decisions
I’ve been in touch with PK Auto Design over the last week, and think we have wheel specs nailed down, but have peripheral questions.
Here’s where we are, wheel-wise:
VS Forged VS21 in Gloss Brushed Titanium
19x9 ET42 front
19x10.5 ET25 rear
TireRack told me that even with the wider wheels, I can confidently run the OEM optional tire sizes of 245/40-19 front, and 275/35-19 rear. I was concerned that the rears may be stretched a bit too much, and am considering 285/35 instead. Thoughts here?
Lastly, I’ll attach a photo of our car, and the wheel style/color, in hopes that someone with photoshop skills could show me how it might look; keeping in mind that we’ll be stepping up from 18s to 19s.

Best advice I ever received on relationships "never let them believe you are fully committed ".

No doubt, I always solicit advice, even if I already know what I want its nice to hear another perspective. I get plenty of eye rolls but I also get some "you should definitely that". And, its not to say I don't want to keep the peace, but we are all individuals and should have our own interests and the ability to do what we want.

Perfect offsets. Extends the wheel faces by 13mm.

Sorry I should be specific - the center cap size of the VS Forged wheels. Wasn't sure if you caught that.
Is that a center cap reducer/adapter that I see? Never really occurred to me to try those. Looks really clean.

@Unhingd Valid point! Having the wheels spin one way on one side, and the other way, on the opposite side doesn't bother me. The OE Velas aren't symmetrical; nor are the Enkei TM7s we threw on our Mazda 3 daily driver.
