Default Ultra Yellow Enthusiast on Volk GTS in RMC finish

Just thought I'd share some overdue pictures of my Ultra Yellow Enthusiast. Car is sitting to Tokico D-specs and Tanabe GF-210 springs (wish they were even lower) with Volk GTS 9.5/10.5 +30/+28 RMC finish wrapped in Toyo T1-R 255/285 tires. Overall the stance is pretty aggressive, but I might get some 5mm spacers for the fronts. As of now, I couldn't have been happier to get rid of those hideous stock 17s Enough of the chatter, here's what everyone came here for:

























For those that want some more techinical specs, here are the weight differences:

OEM Fronts = 49.8 lbs
GTS Fronts = 52.1 lbs

OEM Rears = 50.0 lbs
GTS Rears = 58.5 lbs

Considering I went with the 255/285 combo and my OEM tires were more than 60% worn, I think these weights are still relatively light. I haven't noticed any "soft" sidewalls as I am running these Toyos at 37.5 PSI at all four corners.

Comments are welcome!

Thanks for the comments everyone. With roads over here, I had to go with the conservative set-up. Fenders are not rolled and so far no rubbing. I haven't had a chance to drive it real hard yet, so I'll keep everyone updated on that.

That's the first clean picture I've seen of that finish....Nice car!

It was either PPW or UL for me, whichever I could get cheaper....

Tire specs are 255/35/19 Front and 285/35/19 Rears. Looking at them now, even though they don't rub, I think I would have prefered to do the 255/275 combo since the sidewall height looks a little too "chunky" to me. But the extra grip and more rim protection is nice too. As for BBK, I would do the calipers in Red or Black, Yellow would be too much IMO.

Jasi, I'm like 10 mins north of the Philly area. Never seen you around, but would definitely honk if I saw ya. Nice car btw, and excellent choice in color

Umm, I might be missing something here, but what does your offsets have to do with the condition of the roads where you are at?
