Satin black...awesome color.

Gloss black shows so many swirls and fine scratches...

Same. I bucked that trend on my last truck with brushed clear Velgen Forged wheels...but with the black lower cladding on these things it works well.

I understand....which is why i'm looking into having my friend's bodyshop color match all the cladding except for a few accents .

I am eying these wheels as well. Please post photos once they come. Been talking with Vossen directly. Looking at the gloss black with red center. We’ll see how things go. Might be next summer.

Thats just until they start building them.

UNBROKEN will have his soon. He is helping me on the offsets. Seems we are all guinea pigs on the perfect set up here. I called HRE / Vorsteiner / and Vossen and they all said 40 offset on a 10.5. Doesn’t seem aggressive enough for me but I have time to change if need be.

Like I mentioned...+40 on a 10.5” wheel will require a spacer up front to clear the suspension. Another guy already tried that.
+30 is what I’m having done but I’m pushing the wheels out to even with the fender. That may be a little much for some people. ~+32 will fit a 10.5 with no clearance issues and still be inside the fender a hair.

Another guy tried a 22x11 at +30 with a 325/35/22 and his front tires are sticking way out past the fenders.

Even with the fenders is the perfect look imo.

I’d guess within the next 2-2.5 weeks. I haven’t heard anything though.

I just wanna reiterate for anyone following the numbers I’m throwing out...it’s gonna be a VERY aggressive fitment. The tire bulge will be a hair past the fender in the front and will be the same in the rear with a 1/4” spacer with a 305/35/22. A 295/40 would be pretty much flush with the tire bulge.

Once you put the springs on ... the camber may help with the tire bulge also. I doubt an alignment will get it back to oem specs.

Gonna look really nice !

I bought some billet spacers off eBay...they’re cheap. Just don’t get the cast aluminum ones.
