I don't think the boxes my wheels came in had that label. Perhaps mine were shipped in different boxes (i.e. not the manufacturer's box) since I also ordered rubber which were mounted on the wheels?

Very very possible. I saw you got continental, what tire size did you go with? I was thinking 285/35/19. Love your setup btw :cheers::clap2: Makes me really anxious to get these on.

Thanks man, I wanted to go as wide as possible and opted for 275/40/19 due to tire availability and being told that 275 is more optimal for a 9.5 inch rim. If you do end up with 285s let me know how you like them. FWIW, i've had a few friends comment that I should have opted for a 35 aspect ratio. Personal preference I suppose and I may go with that for my next set of tires.

I think you'll be pretty happy when they're mounted with rubber. They look fantastic in person and it should look super sharp on a black car.

Looks good. I'd be worried about lowering it, it looks good where its at. Of course I'm worried about my set up and Im only getting 18s and lowered. Mainly rubbing from bumps from city driving.
I hear you, the roads are garbage in my area and I'm hesitant to lower it due to that. Appearance wise, i'm pretty happy with it as is but it could definitely benefit from 1" drop. I don't know much about suspensions and fitment, but the front looks tight around the wheels right now (to me) so i'm not sure how far low it could actually go.

Hey brotha, the wheels are cut on order the box info you see is how they come as a blank.

So dont go based off that offset, just for sanity sake ill reconfirm the offset they it at tomorrow for you.

I figured as much about the offset on the box being a factory thing, but wanted to ease my mind testing them out. Thanks!

First off a thanks to Paul at N4SM for quick communications. Through him I ordered my 19"x9.5" VP5's all around. Didn't want staggered for rotation purposes. I don't know anything about offsets and he did a +30 offset. I got the wheels in the other day and did a tire rotation as well as throwing one of the wheels on to see how it would line up. The box they came in said +20 offset, but I figure they probably come in from the factory like that and then are cut to specification. Either way it looks like they stick out way too far. What are the wheel guru's opinions? I threw a single lug nut on just to held it up, the stock lug nuts don't fit, too wide, but my locking gorilla lug nuts are perfect.

Holy cow... that just plain doesn't fit.

Paul, What's up with the gloss black M350's? MRR page on your site shows them as:

"Availability: In stock"
That is all...
Sub'd....
