Vorsteiner V-FF 103 Installed

ThaiBruin · 11-23-2016, 07:50 PM

Just got back from AutoTalent who managed to grab me the LAST set of carbon graphite V-FF 103. I know this was the last because the other 3 dealers on the site I contacted after all said they were on backorder for 1-3 months.

Golan got me what I think is a great deal on the following setup:

F - 20x9 - Yokohama S.Drive 245/35/20
R - 20x10.5 - Yokohama S.Drive 285/30/20

Here are a few not-so-great pics I took just now. I'm definitely planning on a drop soon. I don't think the gap is that bad to be honest, but it's enough to bother me. I'm either going to go with ACS springs or KW coilovers.

Looks pretty freakin' SWEET!

Nice! did you consider the Hankook Evo2's vs the Yoko's? I'm looking into it right now.

I did. it was a cross between the Hankooks, Falkens, and Yoko. I've seen a few more F10 reviews on the Yokos, so I decided to go that route.

yup. just as hard to maintain as a black car, but man, I love the almost color shifting nature of the paint.

Looks good man! Will look even better once you lower it!

congrats!

I believe it is. I just tried googling the weights, and couldn't find anything for my specific application. I did find the weights of the 21" wheels used on an M5 from another thread:

"The V-FF 103 in 21x9.5 / 21x11 are 26 lbs front / 24.5 lbs rear. The rears weigh less on these due to the massive concave and no need for a thick back pad to clear the brakes. The fronts have a thicker back pad to allow them to clear the front brakes which makes them weigh slightly more."

Keep in mind the wheels are both 1" larger in diameter and .5" wider each in the example above.
