VOSSEN VVS-085 / Yokohama S.drive

My new babies, 20x9 Vossen VVS-085's wrapped in Yokohama S.drive's. They are absolutly stunning in person - the weather is crappy here so this is the best I could do for pics for now, I will get better ones once the sun comes back out.



They fill the entire wheel well very nicely - especially with the drop. Some tire-wet is def needed.



I was happily surprised to see this- the wheels extend pretty much all the way out to the edge of the fenders.




I will update this with a review of the handling and impression of the S.drive's once I get some more miles out of them. So far I am very impressed. Driving in the rain is much better than the stock tires, and most of the vibration at highway speed is gone.

That's all I've got for now.

Thanks alot man. I'm not sure of the weight... I know the S.drives are pretty light for tires, and just by using the 'pickup test' I'd say the wheels aren't much heavier. I will weight them when I go back to get my 4th TPMS sensor put in (one broke during the install).

they look great on the car. I definetly know what you mean when you say they look better in person . Same way I feel about my vossens. You got the 255s for tire width right? No rubbing issues right? I may switch to that from 245s after I go thru my dunlops

Na, I got 245/35's. No rubbing at all.

Why do you wanna go with the 255's?

Looks great buddy! Call me crazy but I always thought the S.Drives were a sexy tire when I had them, just something about that tread.

Lol no worries, now I just gotta find a pair that are even sexier than yours :P lol. I gotta admit I feel in love with those to although I am not sure if I wanna go with 20's already have pothole damage to my factory 19's because of CT roads so I might go with 18's and thicker tires

I would suggest you not use WheelsNext if you can help it. I ordered rims from them more than a week ago and they have given me three different dates in which I should receive them. They have bad organization and customer service....

Yeah man, that's where I got mine from.

They had great pricing, extremely good communication, and lightning fast shipping. What more could you ask for?
