Here are a couple of pictures of my car




The rims are Volk GT-C's stolen from my boyfriends car. Muahah he has to live with my ugly rims on his car for a while until he gets some new ones.

Wheel specs:
F-19x8.5 +37
R-19x9.5 +39

Let me know what you guys/girls think.

more to come SOON:
drop, hids, intake, exhaust, and more

Maybe you can give your boyfriends rims back, and you can get the new ones, but not in GOLD.

Perhaps if the gold rims were paired with Mystic Gold or even Desert Sage, it would complement the look, rather than stand out.

The wheels (and they are nice wheels) take center stage. You don't want that -- your car should take center stage.

The wheels should accent the car, not dominate it...

i think that color combo is nice. i've seen several white on gold setups and it was hot! i think you just need a drop to complete the look.

Semi agreed I think black on Gold = sexy

The rims look nice, but needs a drop. CL members are always a tough crowd to please. As long as you like them that's all that should matter. I think it looks good because it's not the same look all the IS' go for. It makes the car look very sporty.

Maybe there's just some jealousy in the air.

oh, AND welcome

With those rims on, you'd better hit the gas pretty quick when someone approaches you and says, "I want a twenty" (street term for $20 worth of drug) because they might mistakenly think you are a drug dealer. Check out the police impound yard when you get a chance.. will find most of the vehicles in there with those rims (or very similar) on.

Contrary to most of the opinions in here I actually love the white on gold combo. All your car needs is a drop and it'll be perfect

CW is a great color choice

I sorta like the gold wheels, they are volks after all! Gold color is not my thing, but I think it works in this car!
