yea looks good but just not really feeling the gold VS-XX on the F. I had those rims on my last car with a custom liquid silver center but when I got the F got rid of them and went a different route I think VS-XX are good for stanced out lowered cars that want big lips and camber lol.

Dropping the front Compliments the car very well! I prefer the look of your stock wheels but its your car so build it to your likings. Good job!

Thanks. Specs of wheels i do not know since they were used then got them refinished and barreled. i believe the rears are 9". tires are 275/35/19 and 245/40. i will be going 266/35 and 235/35 for my next set to reduce the rubbing and looks a bit thick in the front since v12 have more of a flat sidewall over the stocks.
the hankooks are good. i had them on my e46 m3 for 2 years but they didnt feel as sticky as the stock contisports

i know many ppl dont like the gold but its something different to many ppl out there. its more of a "JDM" look. too many ppl have the black and white look in LA. i wanted something a bit different

i think the issue is the front tire its over sized like you mentioned i think once you go with a 245 or 235/35 it will look like a better fit.
