These Niche rims totally stole Vossen's look, at less than half the price. Love that!
Haha… I know… now that I read it again, I'm like, "Wow, I was really sleepy when I wrote that." lol…

But yes, you're right Gabe. It mimics the CV3's I think. From what I read, as good a quality. I also like the "tinted" clear coat color on it, which Vossen doesn't have.

Looking forward to seeing how those 10" rears with the 40mm offset will fit on your lowered stang ... my 9.5" wide SVT rims (42? 45? mm offset) fit pretty well but there's still a bit of room left to the fender.
I think these will fit perfectly.

Can't wait to see them installed! !

Thanks guys... Me too! I should be getting them next week sometime. If I sell my brembos by then, I'll be able to do a test fit long enough to just lower it from jack stands, drive it on driveway, take pics, then take it back off. With the soft 100 compound of the drag radials, I can't leave them on for a couple months.

Oh, and I'm sleeping with the 4 rims next to my bed . Ain't no way I'm letting those babies sit in my cold garage.

Anyone have advice as to WHERE to place the 4 jack stands on the car if I don't have rims? I'm supposed to load the suspension, right?

Look forward to pictures. A 10" with a 40 offset will be good with the correct tire selection. A 285 will be flush (maybe 1/8" outside) depending on the tire. You will actually have a little more room in the front than the back. Some tires run wider like the MPSS as compared to Nitto's.

By comparison shelby Alcoa wheels for the rear are 10 wide with a rear offset of 36.7.

I am considering adding a Boss and running 18x10 and 295/40/18 square set up.

Sean what's up buddy? I sent you a pm a month or so ago, about missing the last cruise in Des Moines. Not sure if you got it. Are your ponies stored now?

But yes, my fronts are 32mm and rears are 40mm offsets. Should be flush. Nitto drags are narrowest 305s they say. Either, I'm glad I have mud flaps front and rear lol.

What's this about your last "boss" comment? Meaning you're gonna buy a Boss car? Or rims?

Man I've been waiting to see what wheels you would get! I love those! I just showed them to my buddy for his 2013 Charger too - I didn't see, how much did they run you?

My bad... My phone app didn't show the attached image. But yes I was asking about proper jack stand locations to leave the car on, to keep the suspension components "loaded" if I don't have wheels on.

Thanks Patrick! Yeah as soon as I saw them, I knew I'd have the right blend of style, quality and width that I wanted. Plus not many folks have them on their ponies, more so in my area. As for price, they run around 300 each I think.

Nice! That's not bad at all. Did you order directly from MHT?

I'm certain they clear the front brembos... Can anyone confirm that? If not, I will switch to nurburgrings. I'm pretty sure they clear tho. The pics I saw online showed a standard brake package GT, the other white car didn't have a good side view.

I'm stoked.
Good choice, mine come in Tuesday, install Thursday. Went thru local Discount Tire and paid $245ea. With Hankook V110 in 255/35 and 285/30, lugs, replacement certs, tax install paid $2000 out the door! I picked up a set of TPMS off ebay as well for $50.

Also for others thinking about this wheel, the Niche site pictures are of the 20x10.5 with is Not available in our bolt pattern. The 20x10 is not as concave, but still looks good for the price point. If you have a Discount Tire locally, give them a call as they can get any Niche wheel. I was quoted the same price for the Milans and Targas which was cheaper than any online site.

I have been torn over rims the past 4 weeks. I got a bonus this past Wednesday, that was the decision point. It was between the Velgen VMB5 in Matte Gunmetal, Avant Guard M510 in Dolphin Gray, the Niche Milans in tinted Black and Niche Targa's in Anthracite. The Velgen and AG where a 20x10.5 and that really limited my choices in tires since I would need at least a 295 out back. That put me over my $2400 budget. The Niche/Hankook combo came in well under. Another rim which made me lose my mind is the Concavo CW-5... But at $450+ each I will have to pass for now...

Oh I hear ya. I've been racking my brain over rims and tires ever since I started spinning my tires in 50 degree weather in 4th gear. I needed wide and sticky.

But yes, lots of great rims out there. Tsw nurbs were a really close second. Vossens are sweet, and forgestars as well. But I still had a budget to stick to, hence the best compromise and balance of rims and tires had to be taken into account. I can't wait for mine to arrive. I can't use em or mount them, but I can look at them lol
