Just finished up with the install today. Wheels are matte gunmetal TSW Nurburgring's in 18x9.5 40mm offest, and tires are Nitto 555's in 285/40/18 on all four corners. Here a couple of pics to give you an idea what they look like.

Those stickers on the wheels will surely help with traction, lol.

Not too shabby.

I love those wheels! I think I am going to grab a set but in silver...
Looks a little 'trucky' though those tires are huge lol

I like those rims! However, does your car track bad with the 285's up front? I'm running 275's on all 4 corners and I hate it. It likes to follow groves really bad.

wow those wheels are a really nice replacement for everyone looking for 2011 GT replicas. If they had a slight lip they would look reallly close to BBS RGR's. I ran BBS RGR's in diamond black on my '06 audi A4 2.0t quattro, damn i miss those amazing forged BBS's with coilovers.

Driven the car the past couple of days, and I have experienced no tracking. Also installed CHE lower control arms/panhard bar/panhard brace, and the Bullitt is a totally different car now. TONS of grip, and much better handling. No immediate plans for lowering springs, maybe in a couple of years I will do springs/struts/shocks.

Wheels look good, but the car looks like a truck now. Man up and spend the $500 and lower it. It will make the car look good.

I've been wanting to lower mine, and looking at the posts on here it takes way more than just $500 to properly lower our cars. :question:

You have the springs, struts, panhard bar, and the CC plates, no?
