Hey guys,
For those that don't know, I drive a 2017 white RCF and have a titanium Ark exhaust. Was wondering if I should purchase ppe headers for my next mod or some wheels like the volks g27... Help me!

I think I looked into these and the size and offsets available weren't very aggressive. Or at least not what I was looking for at the time. They also are likely a 6 month lead time.

How much louder are you willing to be? Can you or the neighbors tolorate? The headers will increase the sound.
also you will prolly need the rr racing tune to avoid cel.
those wheels, meh. Jmo

Damn man, what wheels are you running at the moment? Wheels look aggressive but I am guessing the offsets and the size throws people off?

Hey Punisher,
My exhaust right now sounds awesome. I just want a little bit more growl to it and hopefully, it does not cause any drone or rasp if I do install headers. What exhaust do you run and did it make a huge difference in sound for you?
I am guessing you don't like the styling of the wheels? It is this or either bbs chr or lms!

I do remember correctly. Look at this chart for the options. I even called Mackin about the prism silvers and for whatever reason they only had certain sizes in that finish.

I'm running 19x10 19x11.5 Brixton Forged three piece. Putting tires on Friday they took about 6 months. Test fit tires and bagged out will have nice pics Friday with proper tires and nice flush height.

Nice. Im thinking a 9.5" on the front with something in the high 30s for offset, and 10.5 or 11" in the rear with offset in the low 30 offset should be good. Tires to be like
255 and 295(or305) rears by 30.

Hmm, I am not a wheel expert and plan on doing more research for a good but not to aggressive offset (Little more aggressive than stock). I do not want to sacrifice the quality of the ride atm. I remember I had some cheap brand of wheels on my Lexus is350 and the ride quality was really bad.

Man that is a long wait. I don't think I can wait 3 to 6 months for wheels. I am probably going to go to pep boys and get a plastic hubcap if I have to wait that long;(. What does the face indicate on the chart? I am guessing the aggressiveness of the concavity of the wheels?

I am not a wheel expert so I might do some more research. I have the 10 spoke oem wheels and would probably want something a little bit more aggressive than that. Do you know or have any pictures of wheels that fit your taste?

Brother I love your wheels man. Can you tell me how long it took for you to get them? I am no wheel expert so excuse me but is Brixton top line company? Also the expected cost of the wheels?
Thanks man

Offsets won't sacrifice ride quality. Just keep looking through here and find the right size and style your looking for. You might like the HRE flow forged or forgestar f14. Probably not long waits on those and high quality. Also check with vendors here. Don't order meh Volks...

They are based in L.A. and the majority of their wheels are on exotic cars. The wheels are stupid lightweight under 20lbs Titanium Bolts. I think they are about as high quality as you can get, besides HRE but time will tell. They took 6 months and cost 9k.

What do you mean don't order Volks? Do you even know what you are talking about and comparing them with flow formed wheels? Volk wheels are one of the BEST FORGED wheels money can buy. It's reputation is right up there with BBS. OP, I am sure you are familiar with Volk rims that's why you are considering them.
