SOLD - FS: 18" Volk Racing GT-C (Diamond Black w/ polished lip, rare!)

Hey, I got these wheels with my new car, and I want to go with 17s. My buddy Rob (Pure Adrenaline) told me the wheels will work fine on the TL/CL. They are extremely rare Diamond Black finish with polished lip. 18x7.5" +50 and 18x8" +50. The tires on there now are 225 front and 245 rear Eagle F1 GS-D3. I've stuidied suspension geometry and have a lot of road course experience. My recommendation would be 235 width tires on all four wheels. The 8" would go up front, where the sidewall would be square giving good turn in response, and the rears would be a tiny bit stretched giving progressive breakaway response for the rear end. Cusco and Bozz Speed do this on their Evo and WRX street and time attack cars for exactly the reasons I mentioned above, so I'm not crazy. I will also be including the Rays/Volk GT series lugnuts (required, no other lugnuts fit in the wheel), lug key, optional Volk carbon fiber centercaps, hub centric rings (not sure if they will work on your cars), and the Rays valve stem caps. I'm asking $2500 shipped, because these rims are almost brand new and basically flawless. I don't have any close up pics right now. but here are a few shots:




Thanks,

Andrew

You can have a staggered setup on your TL. Several people have done it.

I would get them for my car, but I have no money.

yeah, i know you can put staggered on the TL, but i just think it's weird to put staggered on a FWD car.

On an application such as the TL, it makes sense. If you don't like the way the car behaves, then you can swap them to the rear.


^^ bump for a friend.

I know, I don't have a digicam (mine bit the dust at the ITR Expo 5 this year), so once I find someone around here that can take some pics, I'll get them up. Rob can vouch they are about as perfect as a used set of wheels can get. No sticker peeling or anything of that nature. Even in those two pics I hadn't washed them up besides a spray down when I gave the car a quick bath.

If the time-span of my membership on this forum means anything, I can vouch for him. The wheels are in awesome condition as you will see when he posts close-up pictures.
