Nice wheels, did you need spacers to fit the 245s, 305s? Those are widebody sizes right?

No spacers, the 245 is just slightly wider then the stock 235 size tire and I already had 305's on the car from when I had my 19's. The offsets make the wheels sit pretty flush and no rubbing of course.

skizot,
Great looking wheel. Goes well with your aero pieces on the car and nice and agressive with the car lowered.
What do you mean that these are not the original wheels you were looking at? Got pic's of the one's you really wanted? These look pretty hot to me and I know you waited awhile for them.

Joe, Vorsteiner updated the same style wheel and have since removed the pictures of what they originally looked like. You can still see some thumbnails of the older design by searching for v301 vorsteiner. The older style had more external bolts showing and a more tapered look. They are very similar to these. The old style however was not directional. That was a downside. Now they are real directional wheels. Neverthless just not what I thought I ordered. Again Vorsteiner has been nice and I waiting to hear if they will perhaps give me some good faith discount seeing as I am keeping the wheels. We will see.

Great looking wheels, they really compliment the aggressive lowered look.

No there not. There appears to be a lot of misconceptions about the widebody (1" wider heavy mobiles, RS excluded of course.... I kid I kid).
Widbodies except for the RS and 2 use the same tire sizes as the narrow bodies. In fact they use the same wheels sizes as well and usually come from the factory with spacers to push the wheels out.
He mentioned above but the 245 is actually a wider than stock tire size... probably with intention of making the car a little more neutral.

I was contacted by Vorsteiner and in keeping with their good name and in keeping with great customer service, they have agreed to provide an acceptable resolution to my concerns. I think based on principal alone, this is the type of service I was expecting in the first place and glad they were able to come through. Thank you again Vorsteiner!

Wheels look fantastic!
I prefer the version 2 V-301 much more since they are a true directional wheel.
