Right now I'm just rolling the wheels around the living room (as my wife laughs at me). I'm getting a weird sense of perspective, and OMG these rears are huge! I know many of you are used to seeing 10" wide rims or wider, but this is a first for me. It's rather breathtaking. I have them lined up front-to-back, left-side/right-side, seeing the spokes swept back in the same direction on both sides... so beautiful.
I need a moment.

Anyone have plans come Spring time?
Not going too crazy, but hope to have these done before Summer:
-Sport mesh grille
-Black window trim
-Black foglight trim
-Yellow foglight (maybe)
Sounds like lots of guys here are doing wheels, exhaust, etc. all I can say is can't wait to see updates!

I wish I had something left to do to my car... Basically a done project since FI with 75k miles is a disaster waiting to happen.
Maybe a carbon hood or coupe seats, a sub added to the stock bose, and rear spats if they get made. I need to update my build thread after the mod frenzy that was the past 6 months.

The little plastic rings? There are four of them in with the lug nuts. What's the point of these rings anyway?

Those wheels are beautiful. Can't wait to see a pic, especially on a MW.

John, did you get the tires mounted and shipped or was it just the rims today?
Enjoy hearing your reactions to all this, your Mom's surely smiling along w/ you
Those bore adapters just snug everything up and reduce the chance of high speed vibration. Like aktif8 mentioned just one more step in getting things as perfect as can be when the aftermarket bore is larger than OEM. I'm sure Vossen would send some to you for the asking (assuming they stock them).
Keep up the joy

Guys those rings help keep the aftermarket wheels from vibrating at high speed and not for getting the wheels perfectly centered during installation. They are known as hub centric rings. Glad Vossen is including these with their wheels now because a big complaint in the past of their Wheels was vibration.

Here, I put one pic in my forum photos... damn website FTP is still down. These are passenger side wheels, rear on the left, front on the right.
Yes, that's my dining room table.
And here's another:

Oh those babies are sexy. Congrats Rochester, can't wait to see them on a "mach up mount" while we wait for winter to end.
Hey John, is that a picture of an IROC Camaro in the background of the second picture?

Thanks, buddy. Here's another one, because I'm such a photo *****, and this is such an uncharacteristic purchase for me.
BTW, I weighed them today. With tires, the fronts are 52.5 pounds, and the rears are 56.5 pounds.
After I take my OEM wheels off, I'll weigh them for comparison. Although they're wearing Blizzaks, so it's not apples to apples.
