Just got back from a 5 hour drive to LA to pick these up...

 

what size / offsets?

 

only 2?

 

I hope these weren't the ones F/S from the guy in Chatsworth. (LA area) Wasn't the offset like +48?!

 

Calm down. The rears were +48 yes, but I already have a pair of +15 spacers arriving on Tuesday.

 

spacers? ugh, have fun.

 

dont worry just slap these in front and get another pair with a more aggressive offset in the rear

 

Anyone know the weight for the Volk Racing G2 19"x8.5 and 19"x9.5? I read somewhere here that the RE30 is at 17lbs for 18" and 21lbs for 19", it is quite lightweight as compare to older 1 piece forged wheel. I hope the G2 is about the same weight.

 

What's wrong with spacers? Why doesn't anyone make that kind of statement when running a wheel with a lower offset than +50? It's the same thing...

*EDIT* BTW, before you ask, yes the spacers are hub-centric.

 

Well, if the rears work fine (which they should once I put the spacers on), I'll keep them there and for the fronts, the offset is 8.5" +29. I am going to the shop on Monday to get my fenders rolled. If the front fitting doesn't work out, I will order 2 of the gold SF Challenges for the front. I like the idea of the two tone.

Either way it goes, I still pay the same amount. I paid $1700 for all 4. They go for 800 brand new and these used ones are immaculate. So essentially, I only "paid" for the rears and got the fronts for free.

 

so what is the size?

 

The rears are 9.5 +48 and front are stated in previous post.

*Edit* Now that I think about it, I was looking at SiLVeRE8's "Yes it fit" post and that's why I felt confident about the front offset.

 

I just ordered some Volk Racing VR.G2 Formula Silver

19x8.5+35 for the front
19x9.5+45 for the rear

cant wait to get them :P !!

 

the front fenders dont need to be rolled with that offset because it wont rub

 

Looking good! Yeah, I'm sure there are slight variations year to year.

 

Ok, I'll try it w/o a roll and see how they work.

 

just wait til i get my other wheels....oooh yummy

 

What your getting a second set too...

Mine will be coming around the July - August time...

 

My friend just ordered some volk gts 19x9.5 and 19x8.5.....offsets of like 37 and 36.

I'll get some pics and post em up. Wheels should be in in a few days.

 

Rays?

We'll need another thread dedicated to double Rays wheel owners!

wow great thread, I may have to do this also,,,

 

just curious... will there be any possible rattle though?

 

I don't think so. Honestly I didn't specifically listen for it. I have been listening closely after installing the BHR ignition upgrade. I'll listen for something tomorrow.

Also, please respond in that thread. I don't want to clutter this thread up, and also it would help others out since most won't come in here.

 

Shouldnt you be more concerned about getting something else first,,,
