Volk's are On

So I decided to take advantage of todays beautiful weather in Chicago and put my Volk's on. Had to play around with the suspension height, and I think I got it just right. I need to put some wheel spacers on the front wheels to get them more flush. Need recommendations on what size spacer to get! Google phone pix and my car is begging for a wash. Enjoy

Volk RE30

Center caps was going to be my question, but I'm glad you're getting 'em. Regarding spacers, I don't think you need any.

looks good, but you should have gotten them in black, or a dark color. also, a lip kit would be nice to help cover those huge mufflers.

two drastically different setups! im sure it will look good either way.

i need a lipkit also but i have an 05 and the one i really like is the 06+ euro front.

i think i might need to do a conversion. Only thing holding me back is the price.. if only i had found this forum before i bought my car!

black, bronze, mag blue, gunmetal, orange, takata green...pretty much any color looks better than bright silver on a black car.

The wheels look good! They will look even better with the center caps.

Adding spacers to your front wheels will most likely diminish steering feel. But the wider track may help ultimate grip, not sure? I would take steering feel and accuracy over being flush.

If it were me, I would ditch the mud flaps and that hideous exhaust system. You have a nice subtle look going and that exhaust just kills it. I can't imagine it transforms the performance of the car by any means so what is the point. Maybe look in to the Fujitsubo or the Tanabe Grand Touring exhausts?

Looks nice buddy, No spacers needed it will def. mess up the feel of the car, If I were you I wouldn't mess with it. But overall its a nice ride man Keep it up!
P.s. Is that a PL plate in the front?
