New Velgen Wheels Installed on my 2013 GT!!

Decided to get some new wheels and tires for the car. Got the 20x9 and 20x10.5 Velgen VMB5s with 275/35/20 and 315/35/20 falken fk453s. Saw these wheels a few weeks ago and decided I really wanted to have them. Got them from Howey Industries online if anyone is interested - http://howeyindustries.com/velgen-vmb5-20105-51143.html. They retail $450 each but they will work with people on price. They are definitely a nice upgrade from what I had though. With the 315s in the rear and the 45 offset they do stick out some but only slightly. Definitely looks like a beast from behind

Here are some photos with more to come!

Let me know what you guys think! And please excuse the watermarks in the photos. I'm tired of seeing my photos shared on instagram/facebook without credit given.

They look nice. I would not accept that the rears protrude past the fenders though. Does look killer though.

I love them! Wish i could get them in 19's. 20's are too big for me. Would love to see a side pic though.

I knew the rears would stick out a little. I was on the fence between 295/35/20s and 315/35/20s. 315s fill the fender more but also stick out slightly. I'm happy with how it looks now but I may get 295/35s down the road.

And side pic coming soon!

This is your third set of rims. I think it's safe to say you have some modding issues.

Good to know. I call dibs on these when you decide to change wheels again.

That's the meanest looking GT I've seen yet. Killer wheels. I like them a lot more than the AMR's you had before. I wish I had the budget you have for your car. I'd love to have some concaved wheels. What's your suspension setup?
