Formula silver looks really good. Wald trunk lip and the Toms diffuser will look good on the F when you get it. Definitely post pics when they come in!

Nice Wheels
Siver will look better ROLLING but you cant see it in action.
Matt Black will look better STANDING still.

I would do the Matt Black on the driver side and Silver on the pass side. Nobody could see all four wheels at the same time anyway

Except 8lbs lighter on each wheel. I'll take 32 pounds off of unsprung weight! Plus the good looks of the rays helps out for the perfect Track/Street combo for my needs.

Are the G12's available in matte black, I thought they only came in Glossy Black and Formula Silver? I know they will do special finishes, but that will delay things considerably.

At about $4K in wheels or more and up to 3-6 months of waiting time, I would make sure this is the look you are going for.

This 2nd gen SGM thread and it should give you lots of matches for wheel color on an SGM.

This is the Volks thread for 2nd gens - showing off their wheels

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...rs-thread.html

Also ......don't forget about a set of rays lug nuts and tire valves......you do not want a 2 inch TPMS valve sticking out of your nice new Volks rims...this means figuring out a bi-pass that works for you.


As a Formula Silver Volk owner, I agree with almost everyone else....black is too much with the tires, break up the color with FS.

question..... are the ray's valves compatible with tpms? or would you have to jimmy rig a set of TPMS sensors using one of the methods previously discussed to keep the tpms lights off?

Nope you have to run a remote pressure vessel, or figure out a better method.

I built a pressure vessel and it has been solid, no leaks through heat and extreme cold for over a year now.
