Default Nebula Gray on Concavo CW-S5

Mod bug bit me and I ended up with some new shoes last week. I'm not looking to do too much with this daily driver, so I think an inch drop would be nice. Special thanks to nice folks at Concavo for the great service & djpeaksd for answering some of my questions. Wheels sits flush!!!! Here are the obligatory specs & pics...let me know what ya'll think.

Concavo CW-S5
20x9 +38 w/ 245-35-20 Hankook V12
20x10.5 +45 w/ 285-30-20 Hankook V12








BETTER PICS ON PAGE 2

I had the Hankooks on my BMW 335i. They were great for the first 3k miles. Then they go downhill really fast, especially in the wet.

Two subsequent tires that I tried included Continental ExtremeContact DW and Michelin SuperSport. They were much much better. The Michelins SS was the best, also most expensive. And their grip lasts way past 15k miles.

i like the hankook v12 so far. they are quiet and despite being 20s they are more comfortable than the stock 18 inch Dunlops. i've only had them on for about 400 miles, but i expect much of the same as i put on more miles. i've been running 225-50-17 hankook v12 on my stock 06 GS300 for about 19k miles now and they are still good...again i just drive my car from A to B...nothing crazy.

The wheels look GREAT, once you lower it it will have a beautiful stance. The V-12 are the way to go.

Thank you. v12 may be the route I go, but no wheels or tires will be purchased until I find out where and how to get some darn springs lol!
