Wheel Directory: Vordoven Forme 8 17x8 +35
 
A week ago I ordered some new parts! I decided to go with something more unique rather than track dedicated wheels. The sacrifice was weight for unique looks. Honestly I don't mind it all that much. The car looks fantastic and it doesn't see all that much track time anyway. I would love to have more money to buy some more expensive wheels but I compromised and was able to spend more on the tires. The wheels are Vordovens 17x8 +35 weight is somewhere near 20.5-21 lbs. I didn't weigh them so I don't have an exact number. I used the money I saved to buy Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 245/40/17. Getting them to the shop was a tight fit....

After they had the tires mounted, I got excited..... They looked great and look even better in person. Sorta meaty but at the same time I didn't have to worry about rubbing issues.

Looks pretty good! Is your car stock height?

those look pretty cool and unique. nice choice. They're not THAT heavy, so you probably won't feel it too much, and it should ride a heck of a lot better than all those goofy 19inchers rolling around

Woah, just saw this, sorry about that! Yes my car is stock. Only thing done is the wheels/tires and brakes with a catless EL header!

Any plans on lowering the car? Even a 20mm drop would set these off.

Yes! There are plans to get Ohlins Coils or something similar for track duty along with some track duty wheels/tires that are lighter. Sorry for the late reply! Its been a while since I've logged on.

Hahah, it's been a year, time to lower it!
