I'm sure someone will post much better, higher quality pics (with a high quality, digital SLR camera) soon as many should be receiving their VS7s in the next few days!!! Sorry, I guess my crappy pics don't do them justice...they look phenomenal, imho.

Stop worrying. It may take you a few days to get used to them on your car, but you'll like them a lot!!!!

btw -- I may have already told you, but many, many years ago (while I was in High School and the first year of College), we used to summer in the Cape; we had a townhouse in Bourne just over the bridge, and spent a lot of beach time at Falmouth Heights, Woods Hole and on The Vinyard. The Cape is beautiful, especially in the summer.

Most of that difference is lighting..and lack of clarity on the image on the right.

I agree it's a little thick, but probably good for structure strength.

1. You blew up my pic (on the right) so the quality sucks.

2. The spokes on the CSL wheel (on the left) are thinner, especially at the outer lip; that's the major difference as I see it.

Although they're not the best pics, they don't look horrible; if you don't blow up my pics, you get the idea of how decent they look...

Also attached here is a larger, better quality of the "close up" pic of the VS7 on my car...better????

Yes it looks better. They're awesome wheels, congrats.
Have you noticed the light weight in the driving dynamics?

A little; it's hard to tell since I have PROcede. Unless it's just the placebo effect, my car does feel a bit more "tossable" while being more solid...I think it's the combination of the unsprung weight reduction while riding on stronger wheels.

I'll find out for sure when I go back to the 1/4 mi. track in a couple months (although I'll have PROcede v2.0 as well )...so I'm hoping to finally run in the mid 12's this time around (13.097 sec. @ 106.67mph w/ a 1.9777 sec. 60ft. is my own personal time to beat. :rocks:

It almost looks like a matte silver...those would look perfect on a black or white car.

I agree, a drop would significantly enhance the eye candy effect. Looks great though...waiting for mine tomorrow!

I went back and forth (big time) on this standard color vs the smoke titanium, but I think you're right, these will look amazing on a black car (almost everything looks good on white, imo). I can't wait to see them on their new home. Tuesday install.
