20" Volk GT30 on the way

Picking these bad boys up tomorrow. I really wanted the ronjon sentinel, but don't want to wait till 2010. These are a similiar design with the 7 spokes.

Volk GT30 20X8.5
5x120 offset +29
2 piece forged wheel
Finish: formula silver

Wrapping these in Falken FK452 which should be here by the end of the week, hoping to get them put on by the weekend. More pics tomorrow after I get them home.

Just got these babies home and opened up. Here are some pics, I am loving the formula silver color, I think it will go perfect with my PMM TL.



not much of a lip








Falkens coming tomorrow, prob wont be able to get them mounted until the weekend.

Bmode- I will try to get a pic tomorrow of the wheel lined up with the car.

Sorry if the pics are huge, photobucket didnt resize them.

They are on, and I am in love....Lol... Only issue is there is some minor rubbing, so I am going to get the fenders rolled this weekend. This is a cruddy iphone pic, more coming tonight with a better camera.

Also, I purchased some rays dura lugs in dark grey to go with the wheels, and looks like Honda has changed the specs. The new TL takes 14M x1.5 lugs, where as all other hondas have taken 12Mx1.5. This really limits options for lugs.

I have the Gorilla wheel lock system where each lugnut is keyed. They make one that is 14x1.5, search for gorilla in the suspension section and I have the part number.

That looks great!

Sweet. I wonder could you still get on the splash guards? It really needs it, especially in the back. Who's got the Pacer across the street?

That pacer is my girlfriends second car. The neighbors love it when I leave it parked on the street.

Wow, that looks great! The OEM lip kit would set it off even further. Great job on the car!

Yeah I like the OEM lip kit, I just dont love it yet, I am keeping my fingers crossed that ronjon produces a front lip kit.

I am getting rubbing on the back passenger tire, when hitting big bumps, I thought I felt the front scrap as well, not sure on that though. It was noticable when I had my 4 stock wheels and tires in the backseat and trunk, due to the added weight, which would be about the same as a person or two in the back seat. There are a few shops locally that will do it for a decent price $50-100 they use the rolling tool, and the heat gun. I am brave but not brave enough to do the baseball bat and heat gun trick myself. Hoping this can get solved or else I will have to take my eibach springs off, and wait on a coilover to come out.
