Default Volk GTC

A guy at my work is selling a set of 18" Volk GTC wheels and tires. He said they have no curb marks and the tires are about 60%, though they were from his previous car so I have yet to see them in person. They are the correct bolt pattern and he wants $800.

I have a set of 18s on my car, but am considering upgrading to these. Any opinions? Thanks.

They are silver. He doesn't know the offset, and the only set I've seen in that size has an offset of 36.

Does anyone know what the offset is of these wheels? This guy is not too saavy about rims, and he has no clue what the width or offset is. I'd like to buy them but want to make sure they will fit properly on my car. Or if anyone can lead me somewhere that has a list of available sizes/offsets the GTC's come it, would be great. I can't find anything online.

GTC size chart


look in the back of the wheel. there should be a sticker on the barrel indicating the size, offset, manufacture date, etc. If the stickers are missing on every wheel, then something's wrong. Also, all volks are 1 bolt pattern. They do not have dual or multiple patterns. Rays Engineering makes multi bolt pattern wheels, but not for the Volk Racing line. Some volks have multiple holes that make it look like multi-pattern, but only 5 (or 4 for 4 lug) are actual lug holes while the rest are purely for looks. Be careful since alot of GTC fakes exist.

My old Volk LE28N's had 10 holes, but only 5 were actual bolt holes, while the others were just for looks.

Same thing for my old Gram Lights

^^ Thanks. I really don't know if it's a high, mid or low type offset, but he did show me a picture of the wheels today. It only has one bolt pattern and has the blue Volk Racing sticker on one spoke on each wheel. I know some other mfg's (like ADR) have copies, but these do look exactly like the real thing from the pics.

I'll ask for him to check the offset. I have a feeling they will probably either be too high or low, but we'll see.

They were real, but 18"x10" with a 44 offset, so they wouldn't fit.

He said they were from an STI, but I doubt it. They looked really nice though.
