Thanks alot! After seeing how good those look I am really wondering about the hyper black now. And I was so sure just two days ago. Really those the Vento's look amazing!

Love the style and color of the wheel, but I have to admit that the front wheels on the V always seem to look bigger then the rears so Id have to do a 19 in the back and 18 up front.

It is probably the angle of the pics to be honest. I am looking at these wheels in Hyper Black. I missed out on a set of black SP600 on the other forum.

Are you serious!!??? Those wheels are awsome! Some of the best looking wheels on the V that I have seen. And for $1299, I am considering some now.

Do you have a pic from an angle that shows how the wheels/tires line up to the wheel wells? Do they stick out at all or tuck inside or line up flush?

At 50% less than CCW, these wheels are a deal. Congrats on a great upgrade, which I consider Performance, as you can now put more power down.

Any pics of the Hyper Black on a V, as I am presuming yours are silver.

Yea i didnt even think about how the stablity control would hate it. I guess its just the body lines that make the rear wheel look smaller to me. I am a fan of the wheels for the 1299 price tag. but tires are easily a grand for 19s.

Not if you get cheapies... lol Ferny got some tires for his wheels for cheap and he has dubs.

I am seriously considering selling off both sets of my stockers for a set of these now. I was undecided on the 20's due to the 8.5" width all around and on the TD wheels, i didnt like the center cap issues or the look of the multiple thin spokes but these are def attractive! Staggered 19's are by far my fav choice! My fav wheels are the CCW SP600's or the 505A's and these look very similar to the 505A's and at a fraction of the price.

Im considering picking up a set of the hyperblack and having them powdercoated if i dont like the color on the car. Could always go to a dark gunmetal color or even solid black. Prob look pretty sick!

I spent around 720 or so for Hankook Ventus V12 Evo which were some of the best tires I have ever used. That includes Goodyear F1, BFG G-Force KDW etc.... I had them in 305/30/19 and 245/35/19 on my Cobra. Ride quality and performance were incredible. if I get these wheels before my RT Cats and cam swap, these are the tires I will be using.
