All of Vorsteiner's new VFF series wheels are now all pre-finished from the factory, so no build time and perfect finishing!

I picked up the stud conversion and lug nuts from http://motorsporthardware.com/ Highly recommended!

Haha, I knew that was coming... I picked up an extra set of reflectors which are at the paint shop right now. They didnt match well the first time they came back, so they're getting redone... so I just used the closest matching vinyl I could to cover the orange while I wait

Those rims would not last a day in New England area.

Stunning! I loved the looks, I'm jealous.
Well they are flow formed/rotary forged, so they are stronger and lighter than the standard cast wheels on the market. These are pretty much the strongest option without spending $5,000+ on a set of fully forged monoblocks.

Looks great. Just wish whoever made the BMW front lips would make them fit more flush in the corners on the 4 series. I wonder if you could sand the back part down to scoot it more against the bumper to avoid the gaps on the sides?

This ones actually a replica lip, the fits about 90% which I can live with. I'm just scraping it over everything so I dont mind it getting beat up.

These are flow formed, so they'll be lighter than a typical gravity or low pressure cast wheel.

I know Vorsteiner spent a lot of time perfecting their offsets so that all their fitments are able to tuck a full sized tire without rubbing or stretch.
I was worried about the 275s at first since I had 255s on my old set, but this fitment allowed me to tuck the 275/30, with absolutely no rubbing.
