New Volk wheel called the G2. The wheel was designed to be a "2nd gen" version of the popular TE37. Like the TE37, the G2 is a one piece forged monoblock design. Whose gonna be the first to put these on?

Thanks man!

Yes, TE37s.

I think soyboy has some recent shots of his mag blue ce28s, i might go and post his pics in this thread.

What color is your TL?

I have searched through this entire thread looking for a 2006 WDP TL with gold center 19X8.5" Volk GT-S. I remember how HOT that car looked. I remember he got the wrong offset and had to use spacers. Where are those pics.

Best to call him or email him directly, he usually responds very quickly

I recently bought the Volk SF Challenges from Lembowski. Now I have a decision to make and wanted your feedback. The rims I bought are Silver but I have a 3G NBP TL. If I were to have bought the rims new I would have wanted them to look exactly like this:

It's all or none. Argh! I think the look in the pic above would be sexy as hell on my car but it seems like that isn't an option with powdercoating as they said even if they taped it off the powder coating would still go in under the tape some and would not leave a clean edge.

So here are my options:
1. Leave the wheel as is, just get it cleaned and polished up.
2. Powercoat the entire inner piece black. I'm not sure if that would still look good or if someone would be interested in buying it down the road.
3. Try to find a place that would paint it. Would this option still be a solution that is durable?

Also does anyone know if the lip on these wheels is anodized? I was wanting to take them in to have the lips polished but not sure if that will harm anything.

..I would say just have the spokes painted black and leave the sections in between gunmetal.
