New Wheels 997.1 Cobalt Turbo. 20"ADV MV2 SL (custom brushed Gun metal)

Had a chance to mount my new wheels over the weekend. Big thanks to Ben at Wheelsboutique and the crew over there. This is the second build I used them for, and my fitment and their customer service is exceptional. There is a reason these guys are on top of their game.

Specs are:

Front:
20x9
Michelin 245/30/20

Rear:
20x12
Michelin 325/25/20

H&R Springs

I've included some pics of the stock tire vs. new for those considering this size. Very disappointed in Pirelli tires they did not hold up at all, which is why I went Michelin.

I haven't had much time to drive it since install, but the new setup feels very good. Almost less jarring than stock. I'll update on that later.

Next up, I plan on tending to the rockers, front lip, rear apron, and maybe the spoiler. Trying to decide if I want to tint the windows as well.

From there, I will pull the motor over the winter, pin the coolant lines, check compression, water pump, t-stat, and get ready for e85 with Todd from Promotive.

Wow!!! Looks incredible. I'm eagerly waiting on my new wheels... I too went with MPSS. Same size as yours. Congrats on a beautiful setup, stance is perfect.

Should I consider your ADVs instead of HREs that I covet? What are the specs regarding weight, offsets (any rubbing?) and cost? Are you flush with the fenders? Thanks!

So far I would recommend giving them a try. I have owned HRE also and both companies make a top notch wheel. MY HRE was a 3 pc, these are a 1pc so I need to be more careful

I have no rubbing, minimal gap, and ride is very good so far. a bit firmer on the straights, but better planted on the turns.

Give Ben @ wheels boutique a shout for specs and cost. I dont have the invoice near me at work.


And thanks everyone else for the compliments.
