Default Volks on a 4th Gen? Right here..

Not hating on the predominant rim vendors on the site however lets get some more JDM rims on a JDM car.

Volk Progressiv ME, Mercury Silver - 19X8 +43 wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports (245/40) I know its weaksauce, but I wanted more functionality than form. My car is also AWD and I'd like it to swap the rims all around. You cannot buy these anymore so I'm thinking that this will be a rare combo.

Anyways enough of me typing:

Not bad .... But I would consider flipping the BBK decal over?

It's not weaksauce. What it gives up in terms of bling, it more than makes up for in terms of structural strength and build quality (forged rims FTW) and in terms of handling and performance (forged rims being much lighter yet stronger than cast rims).

I read a rule of thumb that for every pound of unsprung weight saved (unsprung weight = weight not supported by the springs), it's equivalent to 4 pounds of sprung weight saved in terms of improvement to handling and performance.

Besides, RAYS Engineering has nothing to prove in terms of track performance since it's used in JGTC race cars and other track applications.

In fact, it takes a true enthusiast to appreciate a car that has Volks Wheels : performance over bling. And the fact that a Volks is usually more expensive than a flashier cast wheel ( and for good reason too.)
