Does anyone have these (Volk Progressive TE) and do you think they would look great on my WWP? I had initially thought of buying something in black or gunmetal with a polished/chrome lip.

 

If I were going to spend that kind of money on wheels, I would get the GT-S wheels.

I haven't seen any cars with those wheels before.

 

i like the re 30's but those are sweet too

 

very nice, but not to sure about the tabs between spokes..


beers

 

A bit "rollin' on dubs" bling for my taste. If you like it though go with it. I think it's definitely unique.

Of course you're getting an opinion from a guy who thinks the stock wheels are perfectly fine and spent his money on suspension bits.

 

Get them and post pics. They will look good in my opinon and you can't go wrong with anything Volk.

 

are you talking about GTS? or the progressives?
because there are quite a few cars with GTS and Progressive a few but less

 

whats the weight on them? i agree with swoope on the tabs, no idea why thy are there, and they arent even centered. but otherwise they look nice

 

Get it in black or silver. For some reason, I don't like white with gunmetal.

 

The 19x8's are 21 lbs. I wasn't that fond of the tabs either, but I like the spoke design. I really like the Axis Hiros and the Volks on ocrapitzleon's car, but I was wanting to veer away from the wheels that other people have. A seller on ebay has the Progressive TE's for $2,099 BIN. Its a bit more than I am "wanting" to spend for wheels (especially without tires), but I figured if I held out a little longer I could find them cheaper.

 

I wondered how chrome/polished would look against the white. I agree about black over the gunmetal and was even looking at the Axis Super Hiros but I did not like that they do not have a polished lip. I also didn't care much for the colored trim. (I did just notice that they have a white pinstriped lip available also, so that may not look too bad). That, and these are quite a bit cheaper than the Volks.

 

they are nice, but the yellow wouldnt match unless you have a yellow 8, which you dont, . but personally, i look for lower weight rims, like 17 or 18 lbs, especially if you are spending that kind of money.

 

I dont know why youre letting people make decisions for you, but I think you should get those rims...just get them in an offset that wont make them look cheap..like +30 the Hiros with a white stripe would look great!

 

Trust me, I definitely don't let people make my decisions for me; however, I do like getting some different opinions on things from time to time. It helps w/ making the decisions especially if people have severely negative things to say about the quality of products. As for appearance, it is sometimes hard to judge how wheels will look on a car unless they are on the car. I bought a set of wheels for my RX7 last year and I thought they would look great, but once I put them on I was a bit disappointed.

As for the Super Hiros w/ the white stripe, I thought they would look pretty nice, but the drawback w/ them is the fact that the lip isn't polished and I think it takes away from the depth of the wheel. I didn't want to buy a "deep dish" wheel if it is hard to distinguish it due to the mono-black. I thought it would "need" the polished lip to offset the depth in appearance. I guess I'm just picky about stuff.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback, it is truly appreciated.

 

try Work Meister S1-2P...search for style king rx8 . dope rims 100%

 

sick wheels bro, but they don't look like they have much of a dish (unless you are not interested in one.)

 

Def. interested in the dish. The only way I am going to change my wheels out is if I get 19's that are offset enough to have a decent dish in the rear. I'll probably end up getting something on it between now and spring, I'm about to store it for the winter. Good thing too, the rear tires (B-stone RE040's) are so noisy I thought the rear bearings were going bad... so I figured if I was going to end up buying tires then I might as well check on some new wheels.

And as far are tires are concerned, it's a safe bet that I'm staying away from B-stone. The car only has 11k miles on it and these tires (rear) are driving me nuts. More than likely I'm going to go w/ G-year F1 or something else that has a better treadwear rating.

 

very nice, but not to sure about the tabs
