maybe the gun metal or silver ones but i highly doubt the gold....gold only looks good on a few colors....well...actually i think most colors...white, black, red, green, blue...but no silver....or maybe any "lighter" color cars....

Man I really want to order a fucking set of Volks. I need your help though... I am looking at the GT-S and the GT-C. The problem is I think the GT-S spokes might look to skinny for our car and that the GT-C spokes might look to fat. I'm sure I am just ratarded but to make a more informed desision can all you GT-s and GT-C owners post full side pics of the car?

I'll also need your opinion on what face to go with. I have seen some different posts regarding that.

I know I have said this several times befor and never pulled the trigger, but I'M REALLY ITCHIN FOR A SET!

often? how do you see it often? as far as i know...3 people on this forum have it...i have gold on my wdp, kennedy has gunmetal on his wdp, and i remember someone has the bright silver on their anthracite....



Volk GT-S FTW...but don't copy me....buy a different set of volks...lol. Go with B-face +30 something offset....i have C-Face +43 offset and i have to use a 10mm spacer in the front to clear the brembos...but the idiots at mackin sold me the wrong thing cuz they told the dealer where i got the volks from that "for sure this will fit no problem".

PM me for who to call on the best prices for volks

WDP on GT-S FTW... LOTS of clearance with Pad A +36. Pad B +30 might clear brembos and not rub too bad.



I believe the guy with the AM on silver trashed his lip with wheel cleaner. Be careful with those Volks. Soap and water only or you'll be sorry.

Price really isn't an issue unless the GT-M is like twice the cost of the GT-S/GT-C.

Unfortunately, my auto ain't rollin on Brembos so clearance isn't a huge issue. I'm looking to go 8.5'' wide on all 4 corners with as much lip as possible.

When I checked into these, they were about $923 per wheel, then to get the matching lugs was another$150. The special rim treatment was an extra $125 per wheel. I unfortunately do not have the last name of Rockefeller or Getty. I can only hope for the winning 6 digits!

Revolution... i would die if i saw project mu brakes behind your wheels! I love coming in this thread just to look at your setup.

twigglius... Dude you've got to stay with the racing harts,...NO one else is running them from what i can remember. But in the event you are adament about getting a new set of shoes...the spokes on teh GT-S wheels look fine in my opinion. I've seen a number of cars on those wheels and all look great.
