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.



Picture of car before.....



AFTER *ooohhhhh*







Thanks for viewing!

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

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.
