Default Volk III

They've been sitting in my garage for the last 2 years...








1) Bad .. center caps are missing
2) Couldn't get 'em on cause my lugs didn't fit~~

These look like 17 but they're actually 19... should i even put these on ? what do you guys think ?

Yeah they are, but I believe he just has them in that position for visual purposes only. My vote is to NOT install them. Old school on a new school car.

It'll look good if you slam your car to the ground.

What size/offset are they?

Classic rim....I love them. A quick repolish and cleanup and they'll be fantastic.

No offense but they look a little beat so I wouldn't install them on such a nice new car. Also I cant understand why the OE 18's dont get any love, they are strong, lightweight, and also match the style of the car very nicely IMO.

That's why you spend a couple hundred bucks to repolish them....
