After almost 6 months of waiting it's time! The only thing I'm worried about is the weight. At 49 lbs total each rim would have to weigh 12lbs each which seems too low. Not to mention the weight of the packing materials, new lugs, center caps, hub rings. I was told they were almost 15 lbs a piece. Maybe it's an estimate. Now I just have to find a way to go home ot NJ to get them on.

Peace

Life is good right about now.


for those who don't know I ordered Volks in the begining of April.

 

nice.....ur almost there!

 

hmmmm, i think theres supposed to be a snow storm around the time those get to you....... hope they get to u quickly.

 

awesome cant wait to see em

 

pebe im gonna try to hit up the san genero festival on the weekend in ny and get the rims on monday.

 

Glad to hear you're finally getting them. Can't believe u waited 6 months. I waited 4 for mine but that's because they ordered the wrong finish for me. At least they shipped them out now. Sema is coming up and everybody is super busy right now.

 

man, i waited like a week and a half for my rims and that was hard enough, cant wait to see pics of them on your car!

 

yeah, i been tryin to get over there all weekend. what day u goin?

 

yo vx bout time u got some rims.


daaaaam.

 

Well, at least you'll have a good 2 months before you gotta put the snow tires back on.

Look forward to seeing the pics.

 

sunday?

all i know is if n e one messes them up i will kill them. they better not mess them up mounting the tires. i saw on discovery channel they used masking tape on the edge to prevent that.

u guyd know i will have pics up asap!

 

As long as the shop is decent, they shouldn't mess them up.

Glad to hear your finally getting them. I remember when you told me you were ordering them in April. I would of went nuts if I had to wait that long. Definetly snap some pics so we can see. You should weigh them when you get them to see how much they really weigh as well.

 

wat kinda Volk?

 

he got Gram Lights

finally Mike good job, maybe there is 2 packages, or they sent you the wrong one?

12lbs each doesnt make sense it would be more with lugs and caps and all

hope it turns out ok

 

i hope it's four packages. The rims are already in boxes when they come in, so most likey they jst put your address on that box and mail it out. I doubt they would pack two rims in one box, that box would be huge.

 

My rims are coming too!!! tomorrow noon

and.. I might go pick up my tires at discount tires.. (already ordered it.. )

I'll post some real pix tomorrow night.. .

(btw, my rims are Racing Hart CR 19"s multi-pieces in gunmetal )


anyway.. congrat! post your pix again vxcl.. and.. we've been waiting for the rims for a damn while..huh? lol

 

i wanna see you better post pics

 

When I went to track them today there was a new option saying multiple package shipment. There are 2 packages. One at 49lbs and the other at 46lbs so that sounds much better. i wonder how much packaging weighs. i've see rims shipped in boxes with wooden frames.

 

tell me about it. i thought u got yours already. i got good year eagle f1 gs d3's from tire rack awhile back.

as far as the rims i got volk gram lights 57pros gunmetal color

i also got the rays balck lugs and rays center caps

cant wait to go home and put them on. lots of pics i promise

 

wow it seems like forever ago that you bought those rims man, i'm so excited to see what they look like on your whip! Especially with that drop, i'm pumped to see these pics.

By the way I've got Teins inbound and i can't wait to put them on so i can see what my wheels look like with a lowered car too. I love my rims but they look so wrong on a car that looks like a damn 4x4

Anywho, get those mothers on there and lets see'em!
