okay i came across these rims from(VOLANTE) they are the VOLANTE LUXURY SILVER WHEEL(18x8) & TIRE PACKAGE for LEXUS Gs 300
18x8 245/40HR18 NANKANG NS-II






so what do you guys think , is it a good tire, is it a good rim, is the company a reputable company, etc....

what is the over all opionion you guys have about this rim and tire combo

they also remind me of OZ Vela's. In any case, they're knockoffs.

kidcapp

Knock-offs = If you compare the Volante's to the Amistad V's, I'm sure you'll notice a big difference in terms of finish and construction between the two. You get what you pay for (I'm guessing not much, judging by the fact that it's a wheel/tire package)...the choice is yours.

As for the tires....Nankang? That sounds like a Korean brand? Personally, the only Korean brand tire I'd suggest you go with is Hankook (specifically the Ventus series)...I wouldn't trust any other Korean brands such as Kumho or Nankang.

I think those are Taiwanese brand.......and personally i won't put them on my car. But hey, at least it's better than Made In China, Chinese stuff

GSspeed

okay so in conlusion, i should not get those rims, i could prob get other rubbers, but as far as the rim goes, do you guys think its a good deal, or no
rims with rubber = 1175
so what would you guys do

so iguess the one i posted is a knock off, any ideas on how this knock off is rated comapred to the other knock offs, like the OZ or the other companys

I respectfully disagree with the tires comment. I've had some Kumho's for about two years and don't have any complaints. I searched about this and other tires a lot (primarily on this site) before making a decision on buying some tires. Kumho's are a cost effective option to some of the other tires that are out there. I believe they are made by Dunlop?

okay what about these rims,


NAKAYAMA ZEN - Hyper Black Finish
is that a reputable company, i have never heard of it, any other insites


also is anyone good with photoshop, if they could insert a picture of these rims on to a black gs that would be greatly appreciated,

ill try to post a picture of my car as soon as possible.

kidcapp

how much are you trying to spend for rims in total with out tires

GSspeed

in the neighborhood of 1000 bucks im not that big on name brands, just nice looking rims.

kidcapp

i would just get what ever wheel you like it's your car but your not going to get quality wheels for 1000 maybe if you saved up and spent 2000 or 2500 you can get some real good wheels

J.P.

You can get these in 18" for $1280 a set and they are Quality Wheels.
