Its been a long wait but I just received the final pics of my wheel build. 18/19 Strasse SM8's CF face with brushed lip. They should be delivered next week. They're going on my 05 Silverstone...just waiting on Ravi's kit to do the install on the VRH. :biggrin:

not a fan of brush lips but them is some baller wheels!



Thanks Guys!!! I hang with Arista5 and his 05 Imola/Onyx...so I have to go Balller to keep up!!!

Boy did I struggle with what lip finish to go with!!! I drove the guy CRAZY!!! I started with chrome and chrome hardware but then I thought with the chrome lip...carbon fiber face....gold calipers...way to much going on...too much baller! I didnt want the lip to compete against the CF face.
I'll post pics after the VRH install, DF CF Diffuser install, DF CF Lip install.
I cant wait!!!:biggrin:

+1. clean with accents is the way to go. it can easily get too crazy!

what is the size/offsets/tires sizes of these wheels?

chrome lip...carbon fiber face....gold calipers...way to much going on...too much baller! I didnt want the lip to compete against the CF face.

I think the CF is cool but from a few feet away it's just going to look like a standard black wheel, isn't it? I'm glad you went brushed and not chrome. This wheel has a lot of nice detail but I'm afraid you'll have to look really close to see it.

EXACTLY!!!! I'm really looking for this 05 to be more of a show car...I'm hoping at first glance people will think...oh another black wheel...ehhh...then when you look a little closer...NICE!!! Carbon Fiber!

PS-First time I saw the wheels were on the Source1 Car!

totally love the styling on these wheels, reminiscent of racing hart c2/c4; one of my all time fav wheels from the F&F era.

Strasse wheels are quality wheels. You're gonna love them!

Post pics once they're installed.
