Default New look for my SC3

Work has been really slow for me and I'm sure for a lot of you as well .I needed the money to do some needed repairs to my SC .So I took an opportunity I had to sell my Savini wheels for a nice chunk change .After do so I realized I needed a new set of wheels quick .With the Ls brake upgrade my stocks no longer worked . Sitting on four jack stands was not an option.

Not wanting to sacrifices quality fit and finish . And of course the most important thing is price .I decided to go with Vossen VVS085 again .I had Vossen on my car before and were really happy with them. So going back to Vossen was a no brainier .. Thanks to the guys at Vossen wheels for sweet hook up and the awesome photo shoot..

Looks nice but they are not as nearly as nice as the savini with the 12 rears..Also not as aggressive enough..Then again, its diffcult to beat the looks and variable options with a 3 piece wheel..The car looks great tho! Nice photoshoot..

Those wheels are enormous! A little too big IMO but appreciate the fit

Thanks ..

I can't disagree there's no replacing ( fitplacement )..lol I wanted to lower the rear end some more .So I oped to go with a slightly higher offset .After year a 1 1/2 sitting with the rear end up slightly higher because of the 12's.I was finally able to bring the rear down some. And it nice to say I had 6 foot 4 Teelex in the front seat and 6 foot tall BLK&BLU*j behind me and my buddy Clive was behind Tee .That's about a 1000 lbs extra rolling down I95 with no rubbing.I wish I had taken a picture classic..
