a friend of mine who deals parts got a set of rays wheels volks racing GT-N 18" X 7.5" rims cause someone owed him a favor. he is holding them for me till the end of the week till i decide what to do. the cheapest i have seen them is $450 each ($1800 for 4). he will probably give them to me for $1200-1500. i dont really have the money right now, but he'll let me pay in installments, do it almost seems stupid not to. what do u guys think about these rims and the deal in general. i am looking for performance and not just aesthetics.

if you like performance out of your wheels you deffinately need the weight of the tires according to some super honda page your volk gt-n will run

Volk GTN Forged/Spun 18x7.5 ---18.5lbs
Volk GTN Forged/Spun 18x8.5 ---19.0lbs

id say the loss of weight is always good for our tl's i do know our stock at 16" weight 20 sumthing???lbs

you want performance run these :

Volk TE37 Mag Forged Mg 18x8.5--- 12.9lbs --i know a bit wide so go with :

Volk TE37 Forged 17x7.5 ----15.0lbs

thanks tlextreme. where did u find that page? i thinks the volks weight about 13 lbs. not sure what the stock tl rims weight. doenst matter, i have a tl type s with tsx rims. looks pretty tight. much better than the tl rims i think. dont know how much the tsx rims weight either.

TLEXTREME

performance ---find these to fit :

SSR Type-C (called Competitions in the US) SSF 18x7.5----14.5lbs each :wow:

TLModifier

oh yeah...tlextreme...when u say that the volk te37 mag forged are a bit wide, do u say that b/c of looks or b/c they dont fit our cars? i forget up to what sixe rim the tl/s can hold, and i dont have time to look it up right now. i think its 19" X 8.5"...right?

TLEXTREME

i know for a fact the 17" gt-n dont weight 13lbs i just posted actual manufacture weights

TLEXTREME

19x 8.5 and your going to have rubbing issues depending on many things --drop, offset, numerous others it dont help if you got chunky in your backseat either. stick with higher offset rims and youll be ok if your going 19" go with at least 45 offset the higher the better

if you like the gt-n go for it good investment make sure the offset is high 40+
