Mmm...White (New wheels ARE HERE! Page 10)
So i pulled the trigger and got some new wheels. This will be a teaser thread to just show you guys what wheels i got. They were ordered yesterday and should be in some time in the next 2-3 weeks.

I ordered Varrstoen 2.2.1's in 18x9.5 +22 all around. I got them custom powder coated in gloss white. My car is ASM and i have fallen in love with the white on silver look! I also don't think anyone else has this color combo on an ASM. Anyway here is a pic of the wheels i ordered and i will get some pics up as soon as i get the wheels. Can' wait!

Heres the wheels:


And heres what they are going on:


Let me know what you guys think, Positives and negatives.

i think it's gonna look awesome. you should color match your brake calipers too and maybe a few other small white accents.

can't wait to see them mounted! nice specs!

Isn't it going to be a nightmare, with the amount of brake dust that these cars produce?

Thanks guys! ill be sure to post pics right when the wheels get here and i get tires on them. The offset should be fine with my brakes because i dont have brembos. Heres the picture that sold me on getting the white wheels:

going that size and offset you may need to roll fenders depends how low you are. i have the same wheels but +12 offset all around and im not even that low, had to roll/pull the rear and roll the front and still rub at times.

Nice! What color are you thinking? And how much did it cost to get your fenders pulled? Or did you just pull them yourself?
