All you 19" Volk wheels owners, I got a question for you guys!!!

How often you guys go through w/ tires?

According to dzuy, he went through tires like every 2 months, Is this true?

2 months? I just bought a new set of tire and have 25k on my current Falkon fk452's. I think I still have another 2-3k before I really need to put these on.

Why would any wheel on this car make it last that short of a time?

I've had my alignment done twice since having my Volks. I thought the challenge of alignment with our cars is do to being lowered not the wheel so much.

Any one point me in the right direction for the best deals on volks looking for a set of RE30 Limited's so far I have been quoted $3232 for 19x8.5 43mm. Hopefully I dont get the normal H-T search jackass response for this question but confused on spacers etc crap. What all do I need to bolt these up to a 08 TL Type S?

what face are you getting? i have Volk GT-S 19x8.5 +43 offset with the C-Face. C-face meaning it has the LEAST amount of caliper clearance and the HIGHEST amount of lip and it DOES NOT CLEAR the brembo calipers.

You'll want like 19x8.5 +35ish with a B-Face or something....

because the front didn't clear, i had to get ARP Extended Studs and Project Kics 10mm spacer...so basically i'm running a +33 offset rim...

BTW, (haven't searched through the entire thread yet) anyone happened to have posted what a set of CE28N's or RE30's look like? Would love a set of bronze wheels in general to match my color.
