just sacrifice the TPMS. honestly, do you really need it?? plus, it'll throw off the balancing. and the polished lip on the GT7 will always make it look smaller...BUT, that's besides the point. GET THE GT7. listen to me, i'm DAN-omite

I see what you're saying about the size illusion, but, that dish looks so sweet on the GT7's. It's totally up to you, but damn. I wonder what they would look like with white centres?

Although I got CE28N, I will vote GT7 for you. The CE28 doesn't look that good on flat black. Will you consider CE28 on gunmetal or bronze? Check out my vbgarage, I have bronze CE.

I've seen your car and your wheels look great. Volks are strange because they don't offer every color on each wheel. You are sort of stuck with which ever colors they felt like releasing the wheel in. I would definately consider gunmetal...as I either want to match the coloring of the lower portion of the MS kit, or by going darker. But I definately want a lip, machined or polished, instead of a solid colored wheel.

They can do special colored wheels, just ask. You'll have to pay more... roughly 50-100 each wheel for a different color. And the wait is even longer, but at least you'll know you got something different.

I've seen Green CE28s.. and Red SF Winning... so it's possible.

Yah, I remebered you saying that at the Torrance meet. I brought this issue uup and they were confused over how to even proceed with a special order. Maybe when I get my mind made up, we can talk and maybe you know someone that could arrange an order like that. It would be nice to have a truely custom (if only in color) wheel.

Just to give people an update..I did check on special order colors..and it was going to run an extra 400-450 dollars (per wheel). the 50-100 dollar cost is only available when the whare house already has an existing order..or if the dealer you order your wheels wants to make an order for the wheel you are requesting. The dealer I was working with was not willing to place an order..since it was 200 (sets of wheels) in the same exact fitment and color that I was interested in.

It will be GT-7 in the color shown above. Haven't made my mind up on staggered or not. Now, I just need to sell my Yamaha Raptor for the cash....

gt7

i have the gt7 polished. they are 19's the only way you can get tpms is to put a stock wheel in the trunk and attach all four onto the wheel in order to prevent the light from going on. its good i guess because now you have a spare tire

are advans that great? they are all cast (new models have a semi solid forging on part of the rim) and the nice shapes are all GTR offsets i.e. ridiculously low offsets for clearance on Nissans suspension design. I would buy a set if I could get a TC-II in 18x9 +40 with the GTR shape. they are only just realising that the GTR shape is what people want and the new RG II and RS have either the GTR shape across the range or some higher offsets in the GTR shape.

18 x 8.0 5 114.3 30/38/48

I'd happily trade my GL 57 pro RMC's for these, or any Volk wheel for that matter...personal taste and uniqueness vs. run of the mill (albeit expensive run of the mill)

I'd trade your GL's for the advans as well but id trade the advans for 57F's

I haven't paid much attention to the AVS line. the AVS line even has sensible fittments & those T6 also use the cored centre cavity construction. I like the clean lines of the T6 but the rest of the AVS line-up Im not so keen on. the model 5's are realy common in .au on magazine featured cars. I actualy prefer most ADVAN rims to volk racing designs, but they are expensive for cast wheels.



should have been silver or gold IMO

AutoRnD, an authorized vendor, has had stock of Gunmetal 19" CE28N's staggered for RX8 on clearance for a little while now.



Please email sales@autornd.com.

We are also in california and are dumping all our Volks that are in stock.

We also have the new GT-V and some Fpros we're clearancing out as well. We will offer a low price guarantee on any of these wheels.

Thanks, Rishie
