I don’t think you can get them anymore. I am not sure though.

Ask Ritchie @ Endless Rotaries if he is expecting to order more.

I think your stretching a little to much by going with a 225 but it doesn't look to bad.

i like the wheels for sure. The stretched look doesnt look bad but i think something like 255 or so would be better.... still stretched but wider tire to use the actual effectiveness of having wide wheels in the first place.. GRIP

and i vote for red lugnuts.. you dont want have wheels that just look like a big blob of darkness. accent it with a little something. In your case something red. Maybe a small ring around the very outside of the wheel but i think the lugnuts suffice too.

Hey guys,

just in defense of ivory.

He wanted to wear out his existing tires first and asked me if this would work in the meantime. I said yes it would as I've already tested this for the same very reason. Once the tires are worn out i'm sure he'll get a more desirable

255/40 or 275/35

Ivory, I can swap out your order for some Black ones if you'd like. Muteki even came out with a new lugnut I should have in stock.

Muteki SR35 and SR48

Just so you know Anodize red isn't going to match your VIR perfectly. There will be a difference in Hue.

Oh I have more coming in a few months.

We'll be posting up for preorders. The sooner you pay the cheaper they are. Incremental Deposits are acceptable.

Black rims look pretty tasty on VR. I like them ALOT! :D But like everyone has been saying tires look a lil too stretched.......if you're already spending much money to buy those wheels..you shoulda upgraded the tires too. Can you just put them up on E-bay or Craigslist...see if anyone wants them? I mean they're still new...you sould be able to get some money for them....
I have stock wheels and even I have 245/40s..on them..hehe.! I always think ...the wider your tires ...the better your sport car looks...:D

Well..it's your car....as long as it floats your boat...:D haha

keep in mine though.........sport cars with narrow tiny wheels looks like a really fat chick with really skinny legs......haha..just kidding just kidding.....!

275, 275, 275 - that would complete the look and make your car safe :P - That said, red lug nuts and red valve stem caps and a drop and that car would be sex!

Nice wheels man. Also, I vote for red lugnuts. Having black lugnuts will be too much black.

alright will do.

altspace, what paint did u use on your lugs??

and about the concern of the stretched wheels.

yes it may look a little funny, and it may be a little less safe....but i was not in the market for new tires. I will be in the future but not right at the moment.
there are hundreds of people on this forum and out on the street that have stretched tires, (3 of which are in our las vegas group) and they have never heard any SERIOUS set backs because of it.

I don't track my car, and i don't driver really aggressively so i'm not gonna worry about it.

when it is time to get new tires i want some nitto 275s.

and about getting a drop, i plan to get the burnout body kit before i even think about a drop so that i can gauge my clearance on things that i drive on, on a daily basis.

thanks for all the great comments guys!

Jordan your car looks good. As for tires why spend more money and let your stock tires go to waste. I think you made a good decision by keeping them for now. Maybe when your tires get worn or you have extra money you can swap them out. I can understand and respect other people's opinion stretching tires and being unsafe, but coming from my personal experience i've known and met a lot of people in the past couple years running more of a stretch tire than yours and has had no problems with safety and were talking about daily drivers. All throuhout these years i have never heard of a person getting into a bad accident or has died because their cars having stretch tires. Until i meet someone or know someone personally that has had a bad accident or has died because of their stretch tires i really don't believe in anything people say in the forum these days. We live in vegas jordan so we don't have to worry about potholes ******* up your rims.

You should have done research. If you get in ab accident you can get sued for modifying the car making it unsafe to drive on the streets. Therefore: your 100% at fault.

what are you going to do when you go around a corner or hit a pot hole and the bead breaks the rim?

Jordan i didn't know your dad was on the forum?

Im sorry that you had to hear this lecture from him

He's just mad that your car looks a hundred times better than his!!

and speaking of crap i would look at your wheels before you start telling other that theres is crap!! c'mon with the BS and stop lecturing him about safety!! Its his own car and his money that he spent and has earned by himself he doesn't need anyone on this forum busting his chops like you are!! Let him do what he wants!! his car looks so much better than yours and his car is not lowered and doesn't have a body kit.

your rims are a joke!! not crap but a joke!!
