I found a great website and ordered my wheels...volk TE 37 lmtd
19 inch by (8.5- 40 9.5 -45) in Mercury silver finish. about 18.5 lbs
forged alumn
Cant wait!
the reason i bought here was

1. they show most weights AND offsets for most wheels and size...right next
to the price and picture. very easy to make desicions without a
complicated series of calls and note taking.

2.. Mike, the guy who helped me out was eager to help and gave me a nice
price that included shipping. you know how when you call a
performance shop to get a price and the guy answers the phone like
hes doing you a big favor? not here...this guy was totally willing and
able to help...
so i bought!

here is the place

I bought my Gram Lights from these guys.

Excellent price, overall good experience.

Keep an eye on on their clearance wheels, sometimes they have great bargins but like with all claerance stuff, it's a crapshoot if they will fit the 8.

 

Stupid question. Is that price for all four rims like these and how much was shipping? I know it varies but it would give me a rough idea.

I'm assuming your new rims were lighter then stock, did you feel a big difference in acceleration vs the stock ones?

 

no
that is per wheel...unfortunately.
shipping is standard ups or fedex amounts depends on where you live.

 

Do we have official word on the weight of the Axis Hiro? I know one member was going to weigh his staggered 18s, but never did...

Sigh...if only I didn't have to save up for a house:

Do you know if anyone here has the Meister S2R on their 8? drool....

 

Good find, by the way, Rudy!

 

MY GL 57's are a hair under 20 lbs, and the is no big difference in acceleration that I can tell from the stock. I made a tire change at the same time (PS2's) and the combimation (or one or the other) was a major difference versus stock in the handling department.

 

THANKS! (NOW I CANT WAIT TO GET THEM!)
