Default The Few, The Proud, The ings TS06 owner

Sold the 19" volks and went down to 18's, a very noticeable difference in ride comfort and especially performance in my case.

Past
Volk GT-M
19x9.5 +23 29.5lbs
19x10.5 +21 30lbs





The same exact day my new wheels came, this happened. It happened about 6:30 in the morning right after the tropical storm hit. Pitch black, going about 20mph exiting my neighborhood when I hit a lake covering the whole street, about 9" of rain, I didn't even see it. When I went back to get it, there was so much water it had covered the median. Needless to say it was an expensive trip to work. I couldn't do anything but laugh, I would've atleast like to see what it looked like with the new wheels though.



Present
iNGS TS06
18x9.5 +22 18lbs
18x10.5 +15 18.5lbs









I've got a lot of mixed reviews from friends, some like the new setup, some don't. I love both, but the car feels much quicker now and I think the new wheels give it a more sinister look. I am nowhere near being done with the car, always been a slow work in progress. Let me know what you think

I like 19" wheels on the Z for the most part, but the 18's look pretty good. Plus not a lot of people are rockin the INGS wheels. Very nice though

I have always loved those wheels and now i am glad to see a silver-stone rocking them(now i know what they look like if i get them hehe), any handling difference with the thicker sidewall? And major Price diff. between your volks and the ings? But they look Awesome good job on being unique

Very Nice! I broke my lip too... but a blown tire flew into the middle of the road and well, I ran over it, and it ripped half the lip off

The handling difference is better but is most likely contributed from the lower stance and better tires. Price diff was practically a swap out, made none lost none.

Thanks guys
