We should make a plate thread. I was initially going to get something like "DIRTYV" or "BADCAD" but decided to be completely random and get something funny. Some people will get it and some won't but it seems everyone has something regarding their V on their plate.

"SMHLOL" (shake my head lol for those that don't know) just seemed funny for all the squids that pull up in their rice burners that aren't even worth my time or for the guy that underestimates my car before I walk him... Lol

Got the wheels on the car this morning. After 2 road trips and a week of rain, I need to give my car the business. Aside from that they look great on the car...for those of you on the fence.

Just like lolly, my only issue so far is that the axle shaft is sticking too far out. And I'm still using the stockers. The center caps will not fit on the rear wheels. I'm going to look into grinding those down. Shouldn't take much to get those to fit. Just need to make sure I get it shaved down correctly.

I'll post some more pics once it's washed and businessed.

How much do you think you need to shave off? A thread or two? I figure a Sawzall with a fine metal blade might work, and you could probably clean up any burring with a file.

Definitely two. Working on getting some lift time to make it an easier job.

Here are a couple more pics midway through "the business". Couldn't resist.

Looks solid. What size tires are you running?

I opened all of your pictures in tabs and happened to rapidly switch between your Photoshopped picture and the original. Thought it was amusing, so I created a GIF the fast way.

Haha! Nice. Looks like it's monster truckin over imaginary terrain.

I ended up going with 245 45s up front and 275 35s in back. Went with Hankooks as well.

Starting to wonder if buying 285s was a mistake. I like the shape of Dudesweets' rear tires better than Lolly's. Hopefully BFGs run abnormally wide.

Approximately a dozen, with at least another dozen ready to purchase if they like our pictures. I wouldn't be surprised if Forgestar had 50+ orders as they start to circulate around the 'net.

I will say they are the best aftermarket wheels I've seen yet. I just can't justify the coin for them.

I'm getting ready to move to Clarksville TN. Hopefully there isn't anyone there with a V1 and these wheels.
