i am looking into the vertini hennessey wheel for my 04 WDP TL. just looking to hear your thoughts on the wheel. I would like to know what would be the best specs to get as i do not know hardly anything about wheels and suspension. id like to know exactly what to get in your opinion. thanks for your time!!!

Are you planning a drop?

I say, 19x8.5, +40 offset all around. Get 245/35/19 tires. If you go any lower on the offset, you'll have to modify your fenders. It's better to avoid that, if possible.

Hope this helps!

 

BTW, Vertini Hennessy's are nice wheels.

 

haha! thanks dude! yeah, for the temporary time being i just want to get like some HKS springs or something along those lines. really i wanna go the lowest i can to where i dont drag the front bumper but where i look lowered.

 

what are HKS springs?

 

some shitty springs i looked up, but i got the name mixed up with H&R.. how i dont know cuz H&R are supposedly some good springs. but would it work with H&R Springs?

 

anyone know if there is someone with the vertini hennessey's on the forum??

 

I know it is not a TL but the rims are damn sexy!! I like them and am sad I already bought mine!! haha

 

h&r are good springs. And I believe that it would work with those wheels. There are alot of members here with wheels whose sizes and even more of a drop then those springs

 

I would drop the car first, then decide what size/offset you want to go with. It's much easier to plan wheels around a drop than it is to plan a drop around wheels.

BTW, I have the H&R Race springs and I love them.

 

hey mann, i was lookin at those staggered on a wdp '07. one question is do the look dark in person or shaded because of the black window. ive seen the website and on some cars they look dark or dulll. on others they look classy and you can see more metal than black

 

to be honest, i really do not know. i am going to go into houston to figure it all out. its either these or the rivieras. but my window tint is 5% so i think it will look damn good. plus my tail lights and sidemarkers are black, so i think the little bit of black accent from the wheels will match great.

 

The vertini wheel is a great looking wheel. One of my good friends and former Acurazine member (Flint) when he had a CL-S just got these wheels for his BMW 545 and i must say, i thought they were "ok" looking in pics, once he got them, i love them...he car looks hot. wheel looks like it cost alot more than it does.

 

i am now debating between the hennessey and the riviera?? any preferences?? haha... this is pissing me off!! also, what would be the best tire to put them on??

 

^ Hennessy FTW. Regarding tires, it's all about your budget. With 19x8.5's, if you get a set of Max Performance Summers...you'll spend around $1K for tires, and might be able to squeeze in mounting/balancing, if you find a good deal. For "decent" tires, you're looking at a couple hundred dollars less.

 

alright. sweet! another question, do you think it would look better with an aspec lip kit or the ronjon body kit and hennesseys?

 

^ That's personal preference. If you get the A-Spec, it comes prepainted and is cheaper. The RJ kit is nice, but it's much more expensive, and you'll stillhave to get it painted.

The A-Spec flows well, and is more modest. The RJ kit is more flamboyant.

 

^^ true ^^ haha!

 

any problems with vertini wheels? are they really heavy for performance reasons, or anything along that matter?

 

Don't know of any problems. They are heavy. If you're looking for performance, any 19" wheel is going to be heavy, though. With 19's you're going for looks, which is what most people here prefer.

 

me as well, but i mean, its not gonna hurt me at all for just street racing and jackin around (safely... thats kinda contradictory:/). i dont plan on takin it to the track though!

 

That should be fine.
