yea, the pic is the gunmetal, which is the one i got... just remembered tho i better figure out what tires im puttin on it

mrtux

is there anyway to replace those center caps with something else or get them painted? i think they are some sort of rubber-sticker sticked onto an aluminum edged cap.

G)(O

yes.. you actually have to buy the center caps seprately... an extra $50 each canadian

i decided to get them tho so people know right away wut im ridin on

mrtux

oh i meant something like this


+ this


to get something like this
but with the rotor with a more polished/chrome look.

G)(O

not sure, ill let u know when they arrive tho. after i get a better look

RotorManiac

its difficult to fit another center cap in there. so I did the same thing, they are expensive but worth the money. they cost me about 200euros
wiil you get lug nuts from rays too?

mrtux

what about getting custom work to the ray center caps(i.e. painting, coating over it)? or putting another center cap(that's slightly trimmed down) to fit into the rays one?

G)(O

hey guys...

just wanted to let everyone know that after 4.5 months of waiting i finally got my VOLK GT-Vs

19" x 8.5 in front
19" x 9.5 in rear

awesome choice man!! i love it. what are the offsets?? who did you get them through?

mrtux

what offsets are they?
are you planning on getting center caps and their racing lug nuts?
did they come with any stickers of the volk logo on the wheels?

XeRo

isn't that a bitch...i am still waiting..i figure i have about another month or so...i got the SMB or Ray's Metal Coat version...they are having trouble in Japan keeping up with demand on that finish...so ..i'll just sit back and look at yours and wait more...good deal man..let me know when you get them mounted and all...

tRiX8

those are really nice, can't wait for the pics

G)(O

the off set is +40
and i got both the rays lug nuts and the volk center cap

i havent seen any stickers on the rims yet either... which i find is an odd question

mrtux

nice

oh i asked that question because i usually see a volk racing sticker/decal on a spoke on a volks wheel. such as on the ce28s, te37s... not too sure on the rest of the volks models tho ??

G)(O

oh ye and mr tux...

the center cap is just a carbon fiber badge pressed into the middle of the cap, so yes u would be able to paint..
....removing the carbon badge however would probly be pretty tricky to do without damagin it

I am also considering the GT-V's -- but I can get 19" staggered for $2100 shipped -- I sure hope you were posting your price WITH tires :o p.s. -- they are also in stock for immediate delivery -- at least as of last week when I called.

I am really stuck between the GT-V's and the Advan T6's -- two very different wheels but I really like both of them. Advan have the technology advantage -- the Volks have the price advantage. I guess I will keep debating.

XeRo

Husker...you talking about the gunmetal GT-V's or the RMC ones? Cause if you're going with the RMC and using the vendor i think you are...Vick is all out...and said the next shipment could be 3-4 months...and that Rays Wheels is having difficulty in keeping up with demand on this finish...

that's why i may consider going for Racing Hart J5 in the Diamond Cut finish...mmmm

not sure though...i'm diggin' the Volks...i just desperately need new tires and don't wanna fork for new ones for the stock rims when i'm going to get new one's...but i also don't wanna settle either...

G)(O

my price included center caps n stuff and it also costs a lil more to get them up to canada....
oh well kinda late to compare prices anywayz :o


p.s. thanx for tryin to make me feel like a jackass anywayz husker

RXhusker

I hear ya on the RMC -- I think I have decided not to go that finish and yes the back order time is long for those and the price is a lot higher. I was talking gunmetal or silver.

I also really like the new J5's -- in fact I have a pic of those Vick sent me sitting on my desk. Damn -- why is picking wheels so difficult -- getting the turbo was easy compared with picking wheels

RXhusker

Sorry dude -- wasn't trying to make you feel bad :o -- I was just surprised by the price you quoted.

G)(O

lol no problem...

i payed $4200 Canadian... which included shipping, 15% sales tax, 6% duty and those ridiculously expensive center caps..

so its not as great as a price as u can get, but oh well, u live u learn
