Those are some lovely looking rims! best i have seen so far. really dig that thin blade spoke look.

Personally i'd love a set of these on my car, with deeper concave!

 

FYI ray, this wheel style looks to be side specific. Either the fronts need to be swapped from one side to the other, or rear needs to be swapped so both front and rear match the rotational design.

 

yes they are! i ordered them that way ;p

when I picked up the car I noticed right away but were in a rush, they stayed that way the entire summer and i thought it was alright looking. next time around the rear will be facing the right way.

I also meant to weight these but laziness got the better of me, I have a new rear coming(one was badly bent and repaired, NYC road u know), I will weight it then and share the source if i like the weight.

 

It's deeper!



I was looking for the rims for a long time and in my opinion they fit the F-type like no other .

 

Looks a lot like my VS03 forged wheels.

 

I don't know if they are, rims are all in the detail. On a side note, do you think there is enough clearance with 5% higher sidewall on lowering spring with et 45/30 front rear?

 

Definitely not the same wheel but very similar if that’s the look you are going after. Your best bet to ensure clearance with a lowering spring and yet go with a taller sidewall is to drop down to a 19” wheel with the same outer diameter tire. Your offsets are conservative ( 10mm reduction in front and 8 in back) so a taller tire might work ok on the 20” rim but I don’t think anyone has tested something similar yet.

 

Will try and see, but thats probably next summer. Did some calculation, it's gonna be ~0.6inch taller sidewall, "should" be fine, combined with VAP lowering spring it should result in a little less drop but a more filled tire well, along with cushier ride and less bent rims.

Will also try a better tire, thinking r888r in 305/35/20 for better launch and quarter mile. Lower offset rims(for the rear, dedicated to the r888r) are also a consideration, but I don't think the fender will accommodate all these, might need to pull it. Never done a fender pull before, what do you do with the bumper and side skirt area to keep it flush?

 

Anybody installed 20x10 inch wide wheels on the front with 265 tyres and if so which ET would you recommend paired with VAP springs?
Reason I ask is I can't find 20x9 or 20x9.5 size of the model I plan to buy.
2017 R

 

How much of a poke do you want (0-15 mm)?

 

Preferably zero as I am not a fan of stance.

 

You'll want ~67mm offset, but you'll need to check that you currently have 1" clearance when the wheels are turned to the extreme left and right because you are placing the entirety of that additional width on the inside of the wheel.

 

Thanks
That's exactly my concern - I was hoping that somebody already did it (installed 10inch on the front)

 

If they had, they would’ve poked it by 15 mm (52mm offset) for maximal stance, thus ensuring inside clearance.

 

To summarize:
stock sizes on 2017 R are:
9 ET55 on 20 inch - front
10.5 ET38 on 20 inch - rear

From my research - going into aftermarket - most aggressive combined setups so far were (including lowering springs like I plan to use):
265x20x9.5 ET36 - front
305x20x11.5 ET30 - rear

can somebody confirm this works without rubbing?

Setup which I would like to install at the front is 275x20x10 ET40

This means the outer rim would poke out 2.4mm more than9.5 ET36 and 27.7mm more than OEM (9 ET55) and will have an inner rim which is 2.3mm further away from the suspension strut than OEM (9 ET55).

Your thougts about this concept?

 

Friend just installed new 20" BC Forged wheels and alignment job done too....

 

Those tail lights look like they have a special tint? is that OEM or did you have something done?

 

Very nice. Really like all the CF pieces.
Are the tail lights aftermarket, they look like they have a chrome bezel?

 

My friend just tape on the chrome surround the tail light. Personally, I don't think they look better.

 

No, I haven't done anything to the tail lights, but keep then shiny!
