Default Gold 19" Volk LE37's on PPW: Lots of Pictures

The one week i waited for these seemed like an eternity! Im plenty happy now though.

These are 19" +22 all around. 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 Dunlops.

YES, I KNOW I NEED A DROP.

I have Stance coilovers coming in soon.

Theyre not brand new, so theyre not in perfect condition, but theyre still in great shape. They did not come with the Volk/Rays decals on them, so i bought new ones and put them on. IMO it looks alot better with the decals.

No decals



With decals



Old vs New









My friends new Pontiac G8 on the left





Some random night shots





















Some of the shots are overexposed...im gonna try to get some better shots some other night.

upper half of the lip kit needs to be painted, other than that, looking good.

never really liked CF pieces on a PPW, but yours turned out really really nice in the photos, I'm sure they look even better in person. Did you happen to weigh the CF side skirts vs. the OEM side skirts? Is that a black roof or a CF roof overlay?

"ewwww that car sits way too high. and whats with the stretched tires? <--- played out!! I saw a riced out Yaris with gold wheels today, glad you and him have similar tastes. the carbon looks gay. the black roof is a vinyl and thats gay. white is gay. volk makes terrible wheels GTFO! and your exhaust rasps and sounds like a Civic with a fart-can... fitment issues with the front bumper btw.... "

^^ typical my350z.com flame post... the car looks amazing Alex, we need to get some rolling shots soon for sure, and gold actually goes really well with your car... I didn't think it would but at the park under the light I was like "dayum!" We're doing SCS this Sunday fosh you should get a lot of attention :P

Thanks. I love the carbon as well.

To be honest, the OEM plastic sideskirts are arleady so light. The weight savings (if any) would be negligible.

The roof is black, not CF. I wanted black so it would go with the dark tint on the rear window.

GLAD SOMEONE POSTED SOME PICS OF CARBON BOCY KIT W/ GOLD RIMS ON A PPW, THIS HAS BEEN MY PLAN FROM THE START. BUT I THINK I AGREE NOW WITH ANDY^, BLACK RIMS WOULD LOOK NICE.
BUT THAT IS BEAUTIFUL REGARDLESS...

Thanks andy.

Though it would look good, black wheels with a polished lip are waaaayy too common around here. Thats one look i was trying to avoid. If i wasnt going to do gold, a dark silver or gunmetal would have been my second choice.

Gold with polished lip is pretty common around here too. You just gotta do what flows best with the car. YOu can always get them powder coated later down road. Either way, the car looks good.
