Thanks, I'm really happy with it. But a CETE module is definitely next on the list.

I hear you - just a few mm's lower makes a huge difference in the overall aesthetic / stance of the car. By the way, I just ordered the TPMS sensors from the same company (in NJ). Hopefully things work out for me like they did for you! Thanks again for the tips.

Shout out to Eddie Chan at getyourwheels.com for all his help and great customer service.

Wheels: Vossen VFS-1 21x9.5 ET30 (deep concave) powder coated to match the Manhattan Grey trim
Tires: Michelin PS AS4 265/40R21
Suspension: Stock (pictured here in Dynamic mode)
Cost: $3,496 for wheels + $1,660 for tires + $200 for TPMS + $50 for conical lug bolts = $5,406

I was really nervous that the 265/40R21 tires would rub but I'm happy to report that there is zero rubbing even when taking sharp turns or going over big speedbumps. It is tight though. There is less than one finger width between the inner corner of the rear tires and the fender liner. I hope this post helps anyone trying to figure out how aggressive they can go on tire size.

Absolutely stunning, reminds me of my forlorn E63 and I love the flush look down the sides. Question though - have you had any issues with debris coming off the front tires and essentially sandblasting the doors? I had an e70 X5 w/ the massive wheels but fell victim to the sandblasting effect, I had to get the rear doors and quarters resprayed it was so bad. Solved the problem with Xpel, but it was no fun for sure. Just got word from my dealer that mine has been produced and is sitting over in Germany, so I've got some weeks to consider a switch, though mine is Firmanent Blue and i'm not a huge fan of dark on dark, I like the contrast. Any issues with driveability? I don't plan to lower the car at all and stick with stock.

Status Quo:

The day I picked it up in Boise, a week later the 1st set of 21's, and 6 months later, the current set of 21's. Saved the best for last.

Except the floating center caps don't work on the current set due to the wheel design. DOH!

Still loving this simple setup: OEM S7/S8 21x9 et35 rotors refinished in bright silver, 10mm spacers front & rear, CETE lowering module 👌

Agreed! Love it. That rotor has been one of my favorite wheels. I had it in 20x9 on my 2016 S5 and S6. And it looks just as great on your AR.

Haven't gotten a wash or pics outside since installing wheels (SQ5 21")

Overall ride is as good as stock 20" and handling a bit better (installed new p-zeros on them)

Anyone know what pressure to run? Door is F35/R38 for stock 20", however for 21" I assume I should be going up a few PSI.
