Just thought I'd share some pics of my new Volk GT-P's. I got the new wheels on last weekend and finally got around to washing it. They're 17x8's (+41 offset) with BFG 225/45/17 tires. I wanted to go with a wider/lighter setup and didn't want larger diameter rims (I'm more concerned with the performance aspect of the wheels )

The 45 profile is a little taller than the stock 215/45 but I was afraid the other option, 235/40, might be too wide and rub if I lowered the car further. Let me know what you guys think....

 

I like them... but they "look" small because there is so much of a ring around the outside.

 

nice, i like the look of them on the car

 

looks good. definitely get 235/40 in the future. i am on those same size wheels and tires and dropped even lower than you are and i dont rub. i even run a more aggressive offset and i still dont rub (+32)

 

Can you post some pics?


Thanks for all the input so far!

 

Wheels = nice. Tires = to thick and thus taking away from the wheels. Otherwise nice setup.

 

WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT..but in my eye they look like crap with those huge tires

 

thats harsh.
comments like this is why i dont post pics of my car.


props for buying legit wheels.

 

good job on buying quality rims from a quality company! although not the best looking rims rays makes, at least it's no cheap knockoff

 

look's good tire's do look huge but should provide a little more comfort for bumpy road's how's the feeling compared to stock.

 

nice wheels man....would of gone with a smaller tire in height..just cuz i dont like big rubber

but the wheels look awesome..especially since they volks

 

ncie wheels. Alot of people on these forums dont know how to appreciate these.
Volks >motegi crap. Rare to find real volks on cars today. Kudos for you.

 

nice choice.

Woo .. go Volks Very nice

Screw what other people say man .. That ____s hot

 

^^I agree with curry....and nice brakes back there too....hot.

 

Thanks for all the compliments, I appreciate it!

I was waffling about the tire choice but I think I went the best way especially since I've put over 51k miles on it in just under two years. The side wall isn't that much larger than stock, 4.5 mm and road feel can always be adjusted by tire pressure (which is better done with a little more volume anyway). But the grip is way better than stock! I'm sure I'll wear them out in a year or so though and then try out the 235/40's.

oh, and....

... nice Volk knock-offs.

 

looks good

 

not feelin em but as long as u happy

 

nice wheels, i would have gone 18"s but they look hot........

 

51k miles in 2 years....Good God Man!
