New Wheels...

[Johnny B]

Finally got my new Vertini wheels. 20X9 and 20X10.5

Very nice!

As usual we need the specs (Wheel & tire size and offset for the front and back) with a side profile shot to see how the tires align with the body for anybody shopping for wheels.

Nice stance. You car lowered or you running 245/285???

 

[Johnny B]

Lowered on Eibach springs. 245/275 Continental DWS06 tires.

I had 275s on order for my 10.5 Vertinis but changed it after getting scared of possible stretching. Are your rears stretched any?

Getting mine lowered Monday and I have the same size fronts as you. There's no rubbing or craziness while the wheel is at full lock is there?

The same look as the stock rim and tire. No rubbing or touching at all. The lighter wheels do make an improved difference in acceleration and braking. Suspension feels better too thanks to the unsprung weight. Which Vertini's did you purchase?

Thanks.

I got RF1.1.

Unfortunately the weight vs stock didn't change much for me since I went with 245 and 285s. I saved less than 3lbs total on all 4 wheels.

Nice choice......Every bit counts. Its the accumulation of all the small gains/weight savings that make the difference in the end.

True.

I gotta remember to remove all the loose change out of there!

Your wheels are lighter than you think....this is a 20X11

That looks sick! normally I don't really care for directional wheel designs but something about the Stinger's design language really supports them.

I'm very jealous of your ride height, mine is quite high being the AWD and I'm done with lowering my cars because Stinger=Family car for me.

Your wheelsView attachment 11564 are lighter than you think....this is a 20X11

Oh yeah I checked all the weights before installing them. I know the wheels are lighter. But the tires are heavier so it's almost a wash.

The stock setup weight
Front: 54.6
Rear: 57.2

Vertini with Nitto NT555G2 245/285
Front: 53.0
Rear: 57.8

Total stock weight: 223.6
Total replacement: 221.6
Weight savings: 2.0lbs

Yours should be a little better than mine. Our wheels probably weigh the same and I'm sure your tires are lighter.

@Johnny B, where did you get your wheels, if you dont mind me asking. Thank you in advance.

 

[Johnny B]

Premiere Tire. A rim and tire shop just outside of Toronto.

 

[MerlintheMad]

Well, those are wild looking rims. The color combo is reminiscent of older Ferraris with gold rims to go with the red body. I've always loved that look.

I'm not envious in the least of all you all "droppers". I want my stock clearance, thank you very much.

Something to consider, when doing wheels/tires AND lowering springs it's possible to minimize the loss of ground clearance by adding taller tires.

Then we are talking about two clearances: tires inside the wells and ground clearance. You have to pay for your lowering somewhere. I won't do it. But even I will admit that a lowered car looks meaner. The rest of the equation is literally where the rubber hits the road: and the rest of the car!?

 

[GetYourWheels]

Nice! Those Vertini RF1.4 are definitely an understated wheel design... looks best when it's installed.

 

[RandallK]

Damn that looks perfect....

 

[Johnny B]

Thanks for all the compliments guys.....
