These are "Schmidt VN-Line wheels", made in Germany by Schmidt.

My 1999 with Schmidt VN:



The wheels are 9x20" with 245/35 and 11x20" with 285/30

Default wide body kits

They look like a kit car. I do not like them at all and the wheels look really cheap.

I love the color.. The wing is all I would change. As for the wheels you need deep dishes for all that pasta in France.

same statements as here.

I kind of like the exhaust placement, but the hole where the old was needs filed with something.
