New wheels mounted...

Had some time today to give the car a quick detail and snapped a few quick photos....put the new wheels on a few months back, IMO transformed the look of the car completely. It feels more nimble and a little quicker...

Love the new rims. I thought I have seen these somewhere before. Who is the manufacturer. What size rims and tires?

I agree, but did you have to include all the pictures again in your post?

Looking good Chirag.

When do the new sills/rockers go on?
I had my set installed, and it makes a world of difference.
Best, Carl

Nice set of wheels! Are you planning on lowering the car at all?

Thats the first set of 20" rims I've seen that look good on the vantage. I need new rubber, need to decide if I want to spend the money on HRE's. Mind sharing what total cost was? How long did you have to wait? I have the RSC spacers, not sure if I should have them build that in? What finish is that?

Thanks

Thanks guys, these wheels really look incredible in person...especially at night when they are really clean....sets it off really nice.

No plans to lower the car...in a perfect world, I probably would drop it a little, but I like the fact I dont have many issues with clearance anywhere...

They are HRE P40, and have the brushed finish. I was a bit worried at first about 20s looking to big, es without a drop...but looks great IMO. I picked them up slightly used, so I saved a little bit off new retail. I mounted new tires, the Pirelli Super Sports - they are awesome. I think new with these tires the package would be in the neighborhood of $6500....

You're lucky that you got those. I'm pretty sure those are the wheels I was looking at buying from AM Long Island. When I decided, Yes, they were already gone. Oh well, you snooze, you lose. They were a real bargain IIRC.

Congrats on the new wheels. Car looks great !!

The P40 or some of the P40SC would look great on AM. If you got any questions, feel free to let me know.

Here's some pics for you guys to enjoy.
