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.

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.

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.

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

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.
