Is that a center cap reducer/adapter that I see? Never really occurred to me to try those. Looks really clean.
I had my BC Forged wheel custom made with the OEM center cap size.

Lucky. I asked VS Forged and they will do no such thing...even though each wheel is custom milled

However, it’s easy enough to affix growler center cap decals to the VS center caps.

Ordered my set of wheels Feb 08, arrived Tuesday so due to all the Covid involvement with everything the turn around time in my case was 5 1/2 months from date of paying/ordering until delivery to my door. Just my experience, may not be the same for others.

I placed our order a week ago, and was quoted 21-24 weeks, but this is because we asked for a 2-tone finish. If we'd went with a solid color, the wait would have only been 16 weeks.

I have been wondering about offset for a long time,if i use 255/295 9/10.5 and no short springs to lower the height,What kind of offset is the most perfect。

@bobo_Fan From what I've learned here:

x9 = ET42
x10.5 = ET25

Both provide a nice ~13mm poke from the factory wheels for flushness.

You could also go 40 mm and 23 mm for a 15 mm poke, which will work with any suspension as long as you don’t upsize to a 305 tire.If that’s in your future, you’ll want to go with a 28 mm offset in back. The 40 mm offset in front will also work for a 265 mm tire.

There is another problem that bothers me,Will there be serious mud splashing if I use ET45 on the front wheel,I am thinking whether to use front wheel ET50 to avoid this situation。

There's already some of that...even with stock's 55mm offset. Honestly won't make much of a difference.

The splash (more accurately road rash) is not an issue on the front fender, but on the back fender in front of the wheel. As Misplaced mentioned, t's a serious problem even with the 55mm offset in front. Clear wrap on the rocker and just above the rocker at the rear wheel opening will mitigate that issue.

Default My VS21s are here!

Finally got my wheels yesterday! Now I’m just waiting for the package with the lug kit and TPMS sensors, so I can make my install appointment. I also have red Growler logos on the way for the center caps.

My photo skills stink, but will attach a few pics.

The final specs were: 19x9 et42 front, 19x10.5 et28 rear. The finish looks like a DDT, gloss black with the main spoke and rim edges a dark gray.

On a side note; they are indeed true directional, with left and right specific wheels.

The fronts weigh 22.4lb, the rears 23.0lb. using my handy dandy bathroom scale, LOL.


Left Front

Right Rear

Have the red Jaguar center cap logos installed now, but too dark to re-take pics.
