Volk SF Winning
color = Mercury Silver

19x8.5 f +38
19x.9.5 r +42

Sumitomo HZR 235/35/19 and 275/30/19
(i really like these tires, even more than my toyo's)

TPMS = NOPE, (solution can be found here)

24lbs front
25lbs rear
(yes i know not the lightest)

My one comment about Volks. I personally think they are a great value. They live up to their name. I have hit a bump in the road so hard that it knocked both my AFS headlamps out of wack. The rims though were tough as could be. They are perfect and True. That one incident was enough to keep my a volk believer.

Finally pics of nabbun's car!

You speak some very true words Troy - I've hit some pretty nasty potholes with my Volks and they survived like a champ. Thanks for posting your setup! I know there are more of you out there that are hiding your Volks...

It depends if its a one-piece design or not. All the one-piece Volks are TPMS compatible - the two-piece designs require work-arounds.

^^ That's pretty stretched setup. You can drop the car a little more.

Dude... the black chrome looks oh so nice. Makes your wheels look super sick and it compliments the SGM so well. I used to hate chrome on our cars until I've seen the black chrome. Now I'm all bout it bout it. Did you get that color from volks or did you get them done yourself? Either way, how much did it cost?

no, you can get the Black Chrome finish from Volk when you order them. They'll ask you what finish you want when you place an order. otherwise, you will need to find an authorized dealer that has them (very few dealers stock this finish). but be prepared to spend a little extra on the finish. i heard it like $100 extra per wheel (don't quote me on this) to get this finish over mercury silver/gunmetal/black...etc

i got them used so i didnt have to go through all that.

I just ordered a set of wheels in black chrome from a different company and it sure does cost an extra chunk of change. I just didn't know Volk offered in that finish. Good to know for the future.
