Since too many have Vossen and Velgen, I got these instead.

Car in the background is an IS250. Threw them on in the rear and they were straight flush. Second generation IS can handle serious offsets. They practically swallow wheels.
What NXXT said...they're pretty aggressive. The offsets are higher than NXXT's VIP modulars. Poke about 1.5-2 inches in the rear and .75-1" in the front. The front's won't be too bad. The rears are a different story. I will have to pull the rears for sure. That is with no load on the wheels, so once I add tire and lower it, they should camber in naturally a little bit more. How much I'm not sure. Other than that they look money.
If I don't lower it at all, I won't have a problem at all with rubbing as there will easily be about a 2-3" gap. Didn't realize how tall of a tire a 235/40 is. But that isn't going to happen. I'm going to drop the car more.
It's doable. Picture below shows how much of a gap there is. The car is fully dropped and from looking at it visually, absolutely no camber or minimal at best. I need to fit with the tires mounted and go from there. I will make it work.

Security will come in the form of Project Kics R40 Iconix Neo-Chrome locking lugs, but they are currently on backorder, so my friends lugs will have to do for the time being.
I am having the rears pulled. It's a must in order to get them to fit. Right now they poke and they poke a lot.

In the front, there is very little room and the offset is ET22. The F sport caliper is so big that I can fit a pinkie in-between the caliper and wheel. The rear, there is quite a bit of room.
I hate the sunk in look, and I did not want the straight down look flush look. I wanted poke, and I got it, although it's a lot more than I expected. In addition to that, the tire once mounted will diminish a lot of the poke. When all you see is barrel, it looks a lot worse than it is.
Initially, I was already considering ET28 for the rears and ET25, so a 5mm difference nearly all around, but I don't think it would have done much. Anything in the ET30-45 like I've seen other AG wheels on 4GS and it wasn't what I wanted. The car is a mid to high offset. AG and I agreed that it was too weak for my tastes.

What he said. Have you been talking to AG, because everything you stated is correct? Chrome lips (inner and outer barrel), which apparently many people don't do. The face is brushed polished and cleared, because I plan to drive these in the winter too. I don't give a damn about salt, etc. Will just refinish them when the time comes. Rose gold rivets and I chose the red forged center caps, whenever those are done being milled.
Security will come in the form of Project Kics R40 Iconix Neo-Chrome locking lugs, but they are currently on backorder, so my friends lugs will have to do for the time being.

but no just from the images I could tell ( been doing this for a long time so I kind of can tell finishes)
