Okay guys, these are some quick snaps and don't pay attention to the wheel gap because my car is sitting at the sloped part of my driveway so the wheel gap is about four fingers versus the usual barely 2 fingers. Also, my car is very dirty so try an concentrate on the semi-clean wheels But, tell me what you think. Be honest. Volk GT-F.

Front: 18x8 +33
Rear: 18x9 +

I like everything about it except the specs. It's not wide enough.

The wheels are ok, but they are too aggressive for the car. If you had a nice looking kit on the car it would flow much better.

^ Actually yea, the wheels arent that bad after you looking at them. Its cause you dont have a body kit, it kinda looks weird. Get the rest of the appearance package then itd look sick..

Well even without the body kit if the car was droped like 2 inches then that would be better and provide a more aggressive look

18x9.5 +25 I'm sure that's a comfortable aggressiveness.

Yeah, my 57Fs are +38 all around and I already know that they might rub if I drop the car from stock... I had two passengers in the back which both weighed at 320lbs and I feel the suspenson hitting the rear rubber-bump-stops everytime I ride over uneven pavement on the road, but my tire/wheel set up cleared and didn't rub the fenders!

Looks good 9krpmrx8. Some body work/suspension/spacers and I am sure it would look great!

Maybe I will get to see these bad boys in person one day

Thanks for the comments guys, I may play with spacers and the car does not look as low because it is sitting on the slanted side of the driveway. The way it was sitting I had a four finger gap in the rear and usually it is a tight two finger gap. I may play with different springs but i doubt I will go coilovers.

As for the specs, well I am buying them off of a local member so I have to work with it I may repaint the faces later but for now I will rock the red.

I have the factory AP kit in the garage but I will probably just use the rear aero flares and get different sides.

Can someone PS the red on the wheels to WB?

Not digging it. Never liked those wheels. Colors are all wrong to me and the specs are wrong too. Maybe it's a different look in person though.

I will post more pics up after the car and rims are on and cleaned I may run 255's all the way around too. Right now they have 245/40-18's and the rears are slightly stretched.
