Ready to Pull Trigger on Wheel/Tire Package
After countless hrs reading the many reviews/suggestions here on the CL forum (absolute best), I'm ready to step out this spring with a new set of Wheels/Tires (20' Vossen VF series) for my 4Gen GS350 F Sport AWD. I would prefer to purchase complete package at once - mounted/balanced, TPS, lugs, etc, and ready to go. Thus, it would seem that going on-line would be the way to go. I have reviewed many sites of which some offer great overall packages, tech support, insight, etc. However with this being a significant investment, and wanted to get it correct right out the box, I would like to ensure whomever I select is reputable. Thus I reach out to the CL community for some recommendations based upon past experience.
Thanks and appreciate your feedback

Elementwheels.com is great is well.
However, I also recommend going to a local reputable wheel shop and getting an estimate. Not just a small tire shop, but an actual performance wheel shop. Nowadays, many compete closely with online prices. They could transfer over and rebuild your factory TPMS sensors into your new wheels, saving you some money there. They usually give you a warranty on install as well so you can go back if something goes wrong with the balancing/mounting. It's always nice dealing with someone in person with a large purchase.

I would suggest contacting someone over at vossenwheels.com. They will recommend a shop close to you. I went that route and was linked up with an excellent shop 15 minutes from home. Still go there for my tire/brake work. Everything was included in the install and they were able to transfer the existing TPMS over to the new wheels.

Thank you and everyone for the feedback... The most enjoyable part of the process is also the most difficult - which is searching & making a final decision. Just checking out everyone's set here on the forum, I must have changed my mind 20. - 25 times. Thus, if I don't soon pull the trigger, I'll continue to search, then realize its mid-summer and not have new shoes....

I thinking of going 20x9 square around - not sure of the offset (will inquire about that when in process of purchase. I want to target a deep concave look, with the tires pushed out toward the fenders, but not too excessive - clean. I had contemplated going staggered however that eliminates the ability to rotate tires, which would shorten tire life due to wear. Although the staggered look/stance is so sweet.
