New wheels look way better, and I am picky. Looks to good to be in the rain. That's the best aftermarket wheels I've seen on a V. Great looking car!!

Clean setup for sure. Looks as if the rear is pretty slammed, but I'm not quite sure what suspension setup you're running either. Post some pictures of the clearance on the rear when you get some time!

Thanks, Yeah I am SUPER picky as well. Been that way with all my cars. This is the only aftermarket wheel I've seen on the V1 that I liked other than the stock wheels.

Thanks man, The suspension is H&R springs (for now, they are too soft for my liking) I will take some better pics of the clearance once I put the MM spacers in. Its pretty close though, My finger almost got stuck in between the tire and the fender lol

Both sets of rims look sick, but second set takes the cake.

What tire size are you running with the H&R's? I ask because im running ccw sp600s and Im thinking of mounting a 285 on the rear.

Edit: I havent dropped it just yet, but im leaning towards H&R springs and i im also curious what the rim size and offset is on those wheels?
