buttery hotness
ended up picking up a set of the ultra rare (discontinued) 18" volk gtc. fronts 18x8.5 and rears is 18x9.5. my tires is 235/40/18 and 265/35/18. i didnt buy suspension yet. might just go with df210 since this is a daily driver. would these fit under that type of suspension? to be fair these wheels wouldnt be ran everyday. more for like a car gathering type of ordeal. my everyday wheels is gonna be a set of rav4 sports (18") or a set of cx7 (18").

im not too sure on the offset. im guessing nothing too aggressive. probably mid 30s for the fronts and high 20s for the rears.
EDIT: the fronts are more like +38 and the rears are more like +25.

haha thanks. funny story. i ended up buying these from my good friend. he originally had these on his 98 angry eyes 240sx but ended up taking them off when he sold his car. for years these just sat in his storage not doing anything. i often ended up asking him to buy the wheels, but he never wanted to sell. eventually, it ended up just turning into a inside joke since he didnt want to part with them, but i really wanted them. one day (few days ago), out of the blue, i facebooked him and asked him again. i guess he finally just gave in LOL. i also found out that he deployed again but gave me permission to pick up the wheels from his wife. after i loaded up the wheels and was reversing out of the driveway, she came running out with a small box in her hand, saying i would need these. sure enough, the special volk lug nuts LOL. im amzed that after all these years, they still look showroom condition (i know in the pic, it looks like the lips are curbed, but they arent, they just need to be polished cause they sat in storage for YEARS). i vow to take as good car as he did to them cause i know they meant a lot to him. i will rock them on car cruises and meetups though >=). in the mean time, im on a mission to get these rav sports powdercoated black so i can have a daily set to run. im also trying to procure a set of 05 sti bbs wheels that i think would look sick on these boxes. i just need him to come down in price a bit :p.
EDIT: was browsing around and realized that nissan and toyota doesnt have the same thread pitch for the lugs. i gotta pick up a new set of the volk lug nuts, but moreso, i was wondering if could i run a set of conical lug nuts on these wheels? i have an extra unused set of gorilla lugs that i bought for my weld racing wheels on my 2013 tacoma; same pitch size, so i was just curious.
