V12 Vantage wheel offset ...

I know the V12 Vantage wheels are 19x9 and 19x11, but what are the offsets on the OEM V12 wheels for that size?

I didn't. Looking at the car, though, I'd day they are a touch less aggressive than what I have, front and rear.

I saw two V12 vantages today at the shop, just got off the truck. I just put spacers on mine, so compared the two... much better than the stock vantage. Both of these were black carbon versions... awesome.

Hopefully I can reduce the weight of the added width in tires with the lighter Rennen wheels (if they ever get here, long story)...

More updates to come ...

I just put 275/305 Potenza RE-11s on 19x9/19x11 Rennen M9s on my CLK63BS. I thought I was I saving 4-5lbs per wheel but didn't realize how much heavier the RE-11's were than my OEM Pirelli Corsas. Ended up being a wash weight wise.

Too soon to tell. It was still pretty cold and messy in these parts the past couple of weeks and didn't want to push it yet. However I definitely lost the tail wag on hard acceleration which was becoming an isssue with the cycled Corsas.
