Default Finally 2 months of wait is over...Strasse Forged CF wheel!

Finally the wait is over. It had been THE longest 2 months of my life..literally
It all started back in Aug when I was indecisive to go on 19's or 20's. Since our stock BBS wheel is top notch in quality, I decided to go with 20s for show/ summer bling. I looked into a few set like the Volks G2 and the Advan RS-D.

Let me just say, good thing comes to those who waited After seeing these on Rob's IS it was love at first sight! Big ups to Rob as he is one of the most professional person to work with. The day my package arrived I was shocked "in a good way" to see the boxes very well packaged with cardboard plates on EVERY corner of the box. In the past when I ordered my Work VS-XX from Company-Blank, it came in a box with just newspaper/stuffing surrounding it. The boxes came in well packaged and layers after layers of wrappings surrounding my gorgeous carbon fiber wheel In a few years when its time to hand the ISF keys to the wife and trading her 350Z for the mightly GTR, I know where to shop my next set of wheels....carbon fiber that is!
PS.........ROB! Thanks for everything bro! I'll visit you next summer and lets hit up the bars in Miami!

The wheel spec are 20x9 and 20x10.5
Tires are Nitto invo 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 for the rear.

Enjoy

That's exactly what I envision an ISF looking. Classy but sporty, sinister but cool wheels on a black beauty with big stock, reliable power. This is the car!

Nice rims, but a big meh from me. I'm not a fan of five-spokes, and imho the Lexon front lip looks the best on this car. Please, don't slam it.
