I finally pulled the trigger over Black Friday and snagged the Velgen VF9 set in 22x10.5 for $2500. Gloss black. I originally wanted the V2, but without a BBK I figured it'd be sorta ugly.

I am trying the General G-Max AS-07 in 305/40. I haven't mounted them yet, so we'll see about rubbing. I prepped the wheels and ceramic coated them too, using this process:
1. Adam's Strip Wash and P&S Brake Buster
2. DA polish with 3D One
3. Adam's Surface Prep
4. Carpro C.QUARTZ DLUX

Honestly, I kinda regret getting these and instead wish I got the V2 that I originally wanted, but I think I'll cope. They seem like very nice wheels.

for sure. I drive my kids in this ride so I can’t accept any tire issues. We get a lot of rain where I live, so I’m really gonna focus on how they perform in wet conditions

What did you walk out the door price wise on the wheel/tire combo?

$2500 for the wheels
$1100 for the tires (a bit less)
$100 or something for the TPMS

Painful
