I wasn't saying anything, but the dark charcoal looks a little weird on SGM. I think bright silver or glossy black would've looked better, but it *is* unique?...

what brand/size tires are you running on those Vossen CV1's? (if I recall - you have 20x9 on front and 20x10.5 out back).

Thinking of taking the plunge for my 2014 Brembo GT. Did you need to do anything special to clear the Brembo's?

Think they would look good on a DIB color?
Thanks. The front wheels are +32 offset so there is more than enough room to clear the Brembos. The rears are +42 which means that 285 is the widest you can go to make sure they don't rub.
It will really look awesome on DIB for sure and don't forget to get black lug nuts.
You'll be the 1st DIB in this forum.
Here are Rick's and his dad's Verts with Pro Kit springs. The rear tire are 285s. As you can see, Burton is right. They look good in any color. Name:  B3DAEE3E-B39E-4CEC-907B-9476BB707C06_zps5d8p7s0l.jpg

Also, you're on Eibach's right? Looks like your offsets and wheelsizes are close to mine, so it sticks out a tad from your fenders? Are those 19s or 20s on the Velgens? Make sure there is no rubbing. You'll hear that a LOT from folks here and won't believe you're not rubbing... lol. Try a few hard acceleration runs. Make sure that backend doesn't squat down too much.
Thanks, Burton! I was a little impatient and had them mounted without the TPMS, so I'll have them added later. And you're correct, I am on Eibach pro springs. The wheels are 20" and they do stick out slightly. I'm a little worried about rubbing, but nothing so far.

I had actually worried that the greys would be too similar and it would look like I was trying to make them match. In person, the colors are different enough that this isn't the case, and I like it. To each their own, but I appreciate the feedback. Have you decided what wheels you're going with yet?

I think with the eibach pro's, they should be stiff enough, along with the stock bump stops that you should be fine. The k's, from my research, are a tad softer in stiffness, so to be safe, despite no rubbing, I added a stiffener to both my rear springs just to be sure. They're perfect right now.

And no matter what folks say, I love your velgens. I would have liked to go them or vossens of budget allowed back then. But I'm loving my niches

I actually have the shorter bump stops on that came with the springs, so I'll be putting the stock bump stops back on this week just to be a little extra safe.

Yes don't swap bump stops. Trade the slightly stiffer ride for safety.

Yeah, the plan is the Stance SC-5ive. Wife might be selling her motorcycle so that opens some free budget, and I think it might be smarter/better to have the stripes painted on the car instead of getting wheels for it. We have to talk about it. I mean the stock 19's are fine on it for now, and it seems like it would make more sense to redo the stripes or take it further and get them painted.

The list of work/mods I want to do is quite short at this point.

ugh.. every time I wanna be like "hey I'm going to focus on other stuff and not mod the car" I come back to this thread.

Due to marriage, employer change and Leukemia I have yet to have a normal month's income, and it keeps delaying the one expensive mod I want to do yet. The new wheels/tires. Hopefully by May. Still waiting on Jay@HyperMotive for a quote for tires yet anyway.
