I will try to get some better pics of those Volks when Flickr works right for me.

I see a lot of random S2's lately and they look sick when heavily modded

Well here are the only pictures that came out okay with the Volks:
My Volk GTS are getting some interest and might be sold if the locals want them for sure. If they do hopefully I find my next set of wheels that I been wanting for a long time

1. I'm not feeling the black on your car.
2. Your other bumper looks so much better.

Sifu did you get my last PM with the question about the different Volk faces?

The color wasn't flowing for me on my car. Every one prefers the other bumper over this all the time haha.

I get a lot of interest on my wheels. It is for sale as long as they are willing to offer me a good price and not lowball me. I had one Saturday night and it was pretty annoying.

Probably runs with them out for driving and throws 'em in for pictures/shows.

S2's are hot, hopefully an owner or two will jump on the aggressive fit wagon some time soon

I still want some nice aggressive sized polished Meisters. Lately I am looking at TE37's and I wouldn't mind a nice concave full polished style or some Jlines

If anything I will rock these GTS's a bit longer and pick up some lightweight wheels and grippy tires.

Your are also right about the corners haha.

Easy way to get around the complainers on 8club

Polished 18x10.5 ET15 or 19x10.5 ET12 TE's would be sick. So would those 10.5/11.5 ET17 Meisters that were on Zilvia, dark chrome finish and perfect specs for an aggressive fit for our car.

Either way, looking forward to some updates

Checked out WekFest this weekend, sort of makes me want to get my car up to show spec. Laziness will probably prevail though v_v For those of you wishing to check out some quality coverage, peep this thread -> http://forums.nwp4life.com/zerothread?id=21227

it's not there yet, but i'm aiming for aggressive. looking for some opinions on what else i need to do to get there and i think this is the place to get those opinions. here's the car.



it's definitely not slammed, but in you guys' opinion, is the drop aggressive enough if i stick some wheels under there? or do i need to drop it more? and i'm also looking for some wheels. i was thinking 18x9.5 +25 with 245/40. i think i saw a couple of pictures of that setup here.

Yeah that wheel setup will look really nice... I think you'll find you will want to lower it more once you get the wheels on there. Nice pic BTW!

hahah cool! so i got my wheel size locked in. now i need to know which wheels. i've always liked the works xt7's and there aren't many 8's that have a white on gold setup. my only problem with those wheels is that i'm not sure how a minor stretched tire would look on them. then i thought about going in a different direction and get some works meister type of wheel. but then i'd definitely have to go lower to rock that style. mmmm lots of thinking! and thanks for the nice comment!(:

New Tires on a dirty car. 265/30R19 +28 Rear and 235/35/R19 + 38 Front

265 will fit, but it really is the largest size I can run on a 9.5 inch rim at that offset without serious issues. With my coilovers, no rubbing yet (already rolled) - once I measure clearance of the speed bump out of my house, I will be able to re-lower the car.
