volk center caps c'mon! ce28n 18x9.5 +28 bronze wrapped in toyo t1r 255/35/19

i post specs because it doesn't matter anymore, my fenders are modified, if anyone tries to copy me it won't be close to being the same results. YMMV

both you guys have been my inspiration to continue to step my game up with this car. i really want to go wider with much lower offsets.

Im sitting so far away from my screen I couldnt see the caps

Maybe you could help me with this one, and Im sorry if this is cluttering your thread, but Im looking for an 18x8 or 18x8.5 high 40s offset wheel thats preferably lightweight and has BBK clearance. Any pointers at where to look? Im sick of the 19s and I want to run a beefier tire. Ive taken a look at Works and Ive seen a few that I like, but they all seem to be hard to find

well you have to ask yourself what size tire? fender rolled? ride height?

bbk clearance will be difficult with an 8, try a 9? depending on your budget, you should be looking for evo IX fitment; usually 18x9 +35. re30 are the lightest of the volks closely followed by ce28n. for works, cr kai would look sick on the cl; i always wanted a set. all the other ones look meh.

oh i just read the last 2 pages, not the whole thing. Just wondering if they were lighter than my ssr that are 18 lb a piece. I honestly dont like this new trend of fitting as big a wheel as possible myself. Maybe this is a sign of me getting old. A few of the pics you can see ppl have damaged their fenders pretty bad just to have wheels stick out 2 inches or more. Damage to fenders would drive me nuts.

a chance at originality, and they still copy... i don't care too much but seriously out of all the colors in the world you choose to copy? i think it's money well wasted to be just like another cl out there. just my
