Hey guys....here's a couple of pics w/ my new wheels on...sorry the pic quality stinks...(my work's digital cam is old ) lemme know what you think.....

 

Your wheels are very nice. I have the OEM wheels, chromed. Did you trade in your old wheels?

 

Those wheels are kickin! Not too flashy but very classy. What are they (can't read the printing on the wheel) and what size. Also, the drop is perfect. Just the right amount. What springs are you using?

 

those are some expensive light weightwheels!

better put a lock on them..

 

Thx guys....
They're Volk Racing GTP's in a 18x7.5 w/ a +49 offset wrapped in Pirelli P7000 225 40 ZR18's....
The springs are H&R Sport Springs....Yeah I'm enjoying the added handling and less body roll....and ride quality has hardly been compromised...personally I like the ride quality better

 

3 words
very very nice...


I would heed the locks recommendation tho, specially here in Ca.

whoa.!!!!. thosre are one tite ass rims...i'm thinking of getting a 6 spoke rim juss like yours, they all look very solid...but urs is damn clean and ish awesomE!!

 

Those are some phat rims!!
Hey does anyone know of any manufacturer that makes a replica of the tl-s rims in 18s? I love the look of the stock tl-s rims but want them in 18s.

 

Believe me I had these wheels sitting in my house for about a week waiting for the tires and the locks to come in...
didn't wanna put 'em on without the locks...

 

Classy, yet sporty. Definitely like the look. Nice to see some Volk's on a TL-S.

 

Nice...very nice!

 

nice GTP's !

did you get them from Mackin??

 

Personally I am lusting over those wheels on the SEMA CL-S! Does anyone know if they are made?

 

Not directly from Mackin'.....but I"m sure that's where they originated from

Oh yeah...forgot to mention...I went to get my alignment done on saturday...and it looks like I may need a camber kit to get the rear wheels within spec....unfortunately I was cambering -1.7 w/ my new springs on (H&R Sports)...just giving you guys a "heads up"...they were able to get my front wheels within spec...but not the rears...oh well....

 

How much farther do your new wheels stick out than stock?

 

Hmm...good question...
I'm not sure...but doesn't look like much more....seems as if the car were to "tuck" it would be fine...haven't had any problems with rubbing whatsoever....but w/ 40 series tires...I'm constantly watching the road for anything that can bend my wheel...

 

With your new wheel width being 7.5 inches, could you have easily put in a 235 or 245 mm width tire?

225 seem small fitted on a 18 x 7.5".

BTW, great looking wheels.

 

Welp....
my friend that works at a local shop here...told me he wanted me to put 235's on the rear...but he said he was pretty sure they'd rub in the front...so I opted to just keep them all 225 so I can rotate these stinkin' tires hahaha....don't wanna spend all this money on tires I can't even rotate.

 

nah, 235's shouldnt rub, i had 235's on 17x8 front and rear and it was fine, so i dont think u'll have any problems with 235's on 7.5's

beautiful rims btw, mind telling us how much u paid for them?

 

so 235's do fit!!! sweet!! something to think about on my next set of tires

 

Nice choice, I like the polished lip

With a 7.5 inch rim and +49 offet, they must stick out a ways. I stuck with the 7 inch rim and a +52 offset and they stick out 1/4 inch or so more than stock. Need a picture from the rear.

They look great!

 

Wow...

nice looking ride dude....Volk rims rule!

 

Hmm...yeah it probably does come to think of it....stick out a little more that is. maybe you can tell from this pic....

 

i was going to get GTP's also and looking at ur car pics just makes me want them even more....

 

Here is a comparison picture of mine, looks like they stick out more, I had my body kit and any painted part of the fender wells covered with the Xpel clear bra to avoid stuff being thrown by wider tires.

 

Hmm...that sounds like a good idea...xpel....I didn't put the mudguards on since I figured I was gonna get the kit...but I guess the general consensus on the kit is a thumbs up...help me decide guys ...just simple mudguards? or kit?

 

IMHO... Looks nice juss the way it is. Mudguards.... Spend money if you hafta on some engine mods.

All that and I didn't post the picture

You can guess what my vote would be on the bodykit.

Here is the pic.

 

Kit al the way, just put mine on last week. Wheels are up next!!!

 

Thx for the suggestions....I've never been a big fan of kits...didn't have one on my old lude....but I must say the oem kit for our cars does look rather nice.... subtle yet noticeable...
I think I will invest in the headers/cai first and contemplate the kit a little more

 

Those rims are real sweet. Nice pics.

 

Clean ride, not overdone! BoDy Kit will make it look that much better
