I waited 2 months for these Volk GT-U 17x8 +30. I wanted 18s but they didn't make it in our lug pattern :lol: . It has a 63 mm lip thats almost 2 1/2 inches. Can't really tell with the lighting and gunmetal center. I will be getting tires on friday Nitto Neo Gens 215/40. It is going on a TCM XB!
Also picked up Tein S Techs. I will probably installed them on saturday if they arrive on time.

awesome.

Nice :D

mayn those wheels are pimp.. congrats. post pics once you get em on.. nice choice.

nice expensive wheels!

where did you get them from?

try asking whoever is mounting the wheels to mount the wheels with the face of the rim facing down and have them put small rags on the clamps that hold the rims so that when the tire is mounted atleast if they do scratch the lip its in the back of the rim instead of the front....nice wheels!

A good shop should know that. If you have to tell them....go somewhere else. Usually wheels with a decent lip have to be mounted like that.

I know I've gone to discount and they beat the crap out of my gewalt evolutions.

PLEASE POST PICS!

WHEN INSTALLED!

those are tight. how much do they weigh?

Pics are fixed now and got a pretty good deal on the Nitto Neo Gens 400 installed.

sweet...mind if i ask u where did u get them from?

oh yea 400 installed is a killer deal 8)

I purchased the rims from Northeast Auto Design with no shipping and no tax :shock:

Well got my Tein S-Tech installed. Me and My bro Installed the springs in under an hour. And the Volk GT-U are installed I am going to need spacers in the rear but haven't measured it yet. Most likely going to need 5mm or 15mm will see. Stereo system is up next.

Very clean. Looks nice.

you need to hook up some locking lugs before you find your car on blocks

You already need a key but I also order locks but haven't come in yet. Bastards at Discount

No prob, bro the ride is very nice a lot softer then stock probably due to the lower spring rate. Before with the stock springs, you probably noticed how stiff it rides now it absorbs everything.

:lol: finally put them on huh...looking good 8)

looks great.

nice!

im running 15mm h&r spacers in the back with a 45mm offset.....i would go more then 5mm....5mm spacers are super thin....wont push the wheel out enough to notice

also on tein s tech...

17x8 +30 all around... Does that rub at all?

OMG DID YOU REALLY JUST BUMP A THREAD THATS BEEN DEAD FOR 4 YEARS!??!?!?!?!?!

it would appear that way... google is a powerful thing

Dave, Im wondering the same damn thing!

wow
thats a first :rofl: i never saw a 4 year revival

so none of you know if they will rub?

i doubt they will rub but just so you know, the wheels are NOT cheap 1000+

so none of you know if they will rub?
Depends if you are lowering the car. And if so, how much?

Maybe for 2 of them. Most Volks 2 piece wheels start at around 400+ per wheel.

Lowered with tein s tech?

well i have these exact wheels now and im on Cusco coilovers ... super low...
i added 15mm spacer plus -3 camber in the rear...and a 7mm for the front..

pics of it now...
