But it sounds like a one-off, not any different than my own research for a wheel repair place. So unless it's covered under warranty, you're on your own.
Although I can see why a company would not recommend taking apart their wheels for liability reasons, if an end-to-end solution is not offered by the company, the customer does not have a choice if he/she needs to fix the wheel(s). |
Which set & color will look good on crystal white pearl? Or any other suggestions?
VR.G2 RE30 Premium Color RE30 TE37 |
^Go with the RE30's Premium color, they are dead sexy :)

I like the VR.G2 honestly.
I think that wheel would compliment the RX8's fender lines wonderfully and it's their newest design. I like the somewhat refined look of the Gunmetal finish and would contrast the crystal pearl real nice. Sporty yet classy. The other models will definitely make it look more track oriented. TE37's only in gangster offsets. GTR Face, stretch tire, roll fender. it's the only way to get the sickest rendition of this model. I think the RE30 "premium" color makes the wheel look cheaper. Gloss BLack with machined lip just doesn't seem like a Volk to me, simply because i've seen that finish replicated my so many "cheap" manufacturers. Let me know when you decide and i'm sure i can hook you up. Ultimately beauty is in the eye of the beholder so something you'll need to look for inside. hehe. Rishie |

rotr8,
Are you going with a different color? Powder Coat or paint? |
Rotr: it's a bit creepy to see your Volks in that condition.
Can't wait to see how they turn out. |

They were very receptive to what I wanted, and made sure I was happy. Because the lip had to be stripped and refinished, the "GTS" decals were removed. I'm waiting to get a replacement set from a decal shop. Had them custom made. Won't be exactly the same, but should still look good. I'll post pics as soon as they are on, unless it's a nice weekend then I'll go out and take some pics. I'm also writing up a DIY for the TPMS solution. So stay tuned for that if you're interested. |
Sounds good RA,,, yeah the same thing is happening with mine. The embossed Challenge logo had to be grinded and sanded out,,, But I too am going to vinyl route...
|
Im looking to get RE30's in F1 edition or formula silver in 20". If not them I am looking into getting the GT30 2 piece in 20".

So your really gonna spend $4500 + on wheels before tires,,,
Well at least we can say Zumn has good taste in wheels, but 20" on an 8 will actually degrade your performance significantly,,, and if your just goin for show leave those Re30s for some Skyline owner who will actually put them to use... |
^well see.

^^ nice job Greg, waht color are you gonna paint them???
|
Barrels and lips are gonna be Matte Black, spokes are gonna be Dark Quartz Metallic, with the detail marks polished out....
|
|
hrmmm, that's funny. my SF-Challenge logo fell off and my lips were smooth as eggs (insert dave chappelle). nothing embossed at all...
|
Bruce and I looked at them and you can even feel it, there is a slight divet in the rim where the logo(sticker) goes...
|
Dang reverse the mount on those barrels and you will have the craziest offsets and fattest lips ever! lol jk. looking nice!
