Default My new Volk GTU's

Hey guys,
just wanted to post up some pics of my new wheel setup I'll be getting the tires mounted this week, and as soon as I swap them onto the car, I'll post some pics of the finished product.

Here is the setup

Wheels:
Volk GTU's
18x9 37mm offset
18x10 44mm offset

Only thing I didn't like about the wheels, there is a small red pinstripe sticker around the the diameter of the center disk. Although it comes off really easily, so I took it off of all the wheels.



Tires:
Birdgestone S03's
255/35/18
285/30/18

Thanks guys!!! I can't wait to get these babies on the car
Yeah these are the new Volk's, infact it was Dusty's last set. I've heard they are pretty tough to get, but can't confirm that.

I was shooting to have them on the car this week, but one wheel was missing a valve stem because it was a showroom display and fell on the floor. I should have the valve stem by monday and unfortunately I'll be out of town Tues. and Wed. on business, so it will have to wait until Thurs. or Friday.

I'll have pics as soon as there on.

drum roll please.

I love these wheels!!!! Great fit, they give a much more aggressive look, especially with the offset. Looks like I may have to go with some coilovers, instead of my sc300 eibach setup.

Now you can really see my supra brakes through the mesh wheel

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I really think the mesh style wheel really compliments the pearl white.

The SC really needs a nice set of wheels to complete the look- you have chosen...... wisely.
They really set the car off- in a classy way.

Nice job!
