Congrats!
Crossing my fingers that Mrs. Frank does not have a Christmas tradition of playing the piano.

Lol sort of, she forces my daughter against her will to play Christmas tunes. Those wheels will either be in the garage or on the car by then I want to take it for a last backroads drive with the stock gyrodynes before I put the new rims on to document the before/after effect. Hard to do now though, the cold hinders things a bit.

I was in your neck of the woods a few weeks back. Boy, do I miss the all the backroads of CT and the Hudson valley. The wife rented us a wrangler, wise yet very unwise

Hah! Yep lots of fun backroads, although many are narrow and blind, add in how populated the coastal area is and it is a recipe for frustration with a 650ish hp car I am in Westport, next time you are up in the area let me know.

Finally! Out of hibernation from a long winter, new rims are on:

Man, that looks fast just sitting there!

They salted the roads again here last night, probably still a few weeks before my cat roars again. Snow might be gone here next week.

That looks sharp. And they look perfect for that car. Nicely done!

Thanks guys, had diamond cut gyrodynes on there before, really liked the elegant look but decided to go with something a bit more aggressive. Will probably have the gyrodynes up for sale once I clean them up and package them.

Do you have the offsets that you went with? I'm looking to get the same wheels for my V6S.

Oops sorry must have missed that post - the rim sizes are correct, those offsets are super aggressive I have to go back and look but I think my offsets were +32 front and +25 rear for those widths. In retrospect I debated going with wider rims and different offsets but decided I wanted the stock rim and tire widths, and also keeps weight a tiny bit less - my goal here was reduction in unsprung weight which these accomplish.

Different rim, BC Forged KL12, but I opted for half an inch wider and SVR-sized tires:

20x9.5" +42 (265/35 P4S)
20x11.0" +32 (305/30 P4S)

I just saw these numbers on the boxes from your picture with the christmas tree.
So you had them custom made than.

Really like the looks, way better than 21
