    Default The VB3's arrived!

    Got my VMR VB3's today in diamond graphite. 19x8.5ET35 front and 19x9.5ET45 rear. I'm actually happy with the concavity of the rears. I was really hoping to get the 19x10's since they have a bit more, but offsets for the 10" wheel are a no go on G8's.

    Thx!

    Now I need to decide on tires. It's up to these three for now

    1.) Yokohama S.Drive
    2.) Nitto Invo
    3.) Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta

    Will probably be 4-6 weeks before I get the tires mounted and on the car.

    I just bought a set of 19 in bf goodrich KDW. The ones with the aggressive styling. Man these are the best performance tires i have ever bought for everyday driving. I went from 18 so of course i thought i would lose some comfort and increase stiffness. It was the complete opposite. The car handles better then before and these tires are amazing in the rain. You wont regret checking them out.
