Vossen unboxing, pics, and review

Of course I posted these pics in my progress thread, but I felt compelled to write a review of Vossen as a company. I am INCREDIBLY impressed with the quality, of course. However, I'm even more impressed with the SERVICE they provided. I cannot recommend them enough.

I could not find anyone else that chose to go with as wide of a set of wheels as I did. Without a basis of comparison, I chose to let the experts at Vossen determine the best fitment for such an aggressive wheel.

These things are going to re-define what "aggressive" means.... LOL. These mofos are going to look like BEASTS on my car.

22x10.5 front, ET 19 (35mm more "poke" than stock)
22x12 rear, ET 20 (40mm more "poke" than stock)
295/30/22 front tires
335/25/22 rear tires
Satin bronze powdercoat

More important than all that though, is that after contacting no less than 4 different Vossen resellers...... and being blown off all 4 times..... I contacted Vossen directly, and expressed my frustrations about various resellers. Not only did they welcome my business and give me a great deal, they also;

1. Threw in Vossen wheel studs with rotating seats, free
2. Threw in Vossen wheel locks, free
3. Threw in a wheel cleaning kit, free
4. Packaged these things SO INCREDIBLY secure, they'd survive the apocalypse
5. Charged me $250 for UPS ground shipping....... but then after learning how long that takes to get to an APO address, upgraded me to USPS priority, at a cost of $360 to them..... and didn't ask for a dime more from me.
6. Quoted me 6-8 weeks build time during a pandemic, and shipped them at exactly 7 weeks..... as promised.

Don't order from some shitty reseller (especially the popular one that loves to advertise Vossen wheels on YouTube..... yea..... those guys)..... Buy from Vossen directly. Absolutely cannot recommend them enough.

The shop that will install them is on vacation for the entire month of August (Europe... gotta love it).... so for now, I'll just have to stare at them for the next 10 days.

Thanks for reading. If you're still thinking about who to buy from.... hopefully this eases your mind a bit.
