Just had to show off my baby's new shoes. I'm in Germany so I gotta wait till the weather's good to try em on, but here are some pics to get you drooling!

Here's a pic of the widths. 245/35/19 on the front

275/30/19 on the rear.

JIC coilovers on the way so I can tune the suspension

Nice!!!!

I know the pics are a bit bright, but these are GunMetal spokes in case you were wondering with chrome inner and outer. Matches up nicely with the Titanium and gives a bit of contrast. With this wheel package, I damn sure gotta watch out for those curbs! Sexy fat lip, but NO protection!

very nice!! congrat

cant wait to see them on the 8

Take pics and show us! Im gonna go do a chop to give me an idea of how it looks

Looks nice

The wheels look fantastic! Not to be too much of a downer, though, but I have to ask - why would you buy premium, top quality wheels, and put crappy, bottom of the barrel tires on them? (Nitto 555)

Sorry,
Gordon

ouch

That was pretty harsh, but I do strongly agree. I would expect either a S-03 or Pilot Sport 1 or 2 on those wheels. I am jealious though~ That is the same size wheels and tires I am getting soon.

Congrats,

Troy J.

The tires were free (pretty good reason). I doubt it'll take long to wear them out. Originally they were going to give me Falken FK451s but they had these in stock.

Very, very nice indeed. Best Volks I've seen. How much did they set you back?

dam balla...nice rims...

A friend who owns a tuner shop owed me a favor and I got the package for $1000.

damn

that package could easily cost 4k

what the shit? That is crazy, what are the regular prices on those wheels? I am interested in getting myself a set.

1000 euro or USD? either way...i'm droolin'.....and that is a great deal...CONGRATS!!...

great choice!

Phase II not Face II

Actually rays wheels site says it is GT-C face2

Nice wheels!

That's what the invoice says, Face II

Do you have a pic of the rim on the car?
And can u post a pic of ur CF wing? I really want to take a look at that..

Thanx :)

I don't have the wheels on yet because weather still doesn't permit. I'll try to get pics of the wing sometime this weekend. I'm having second thoughts about putting it on, so I think I'll set (not mount) it on the car and take some pics and let you guys help me with the decision.

That is sweet.

does it rain frequently in Germany? if it does, be careful in the rain with those Nittos...made the mistake of having those put on my FD a few years ago...those tires are a bit scary in the rain.

nice choice with the Volks. those are one of the front runners for my car too.

take care

Unfortunately, yeah, it rains quite a bit here. I wish I could've gotten the Falkens but murphy's law struck. I'm not a huge Nitto fan, but I'm willing to give any free tire a shot.
