On a side note, you need some wheel locks quick! I don't know how it is near you but those wheels would be stolen in a heartbeat here.

Very nice I'm debating myself whether to get rid of my TE37 for the same wheels and finally someone with a redline got them. Great choice.

+24 won't fit over the Brembos, from what I was told. Bryan told me they hit the brakes, barely, but they still hit.

It's actually the Top Speed Pro-1 exhaust. It's sounds AWESOME! I've had it for over a year and people still compliment me on how good it sounds. And, my friends still talk about it being one of the sweetest sounding exhausts around. Some say it sounds like an exotic, but I don't know if I'd go that far.

Time to invest in some rim locks . . .

BTW, how long did it take you to get them? and where did you order them from?
I love most of their rims too! I will spend hours at night looking for the 'perfect set.'

Anyway, it was 18 days from when I ordered them until they showed up at my house, from a Monday until 2 Fridays later. And I ordered them from Bryan at 350zonlinestore.com. I think he gave me a great deal, and he was very helpful every time I called (which was a lot!).

Boise is not too bad for crime, but I'm going to get a set anyway. Better safe than sorry. I read some different things about what will and won't fit, so I didn't want to buy any until I know for sure. Anybody have any ideas on what will or won't work?

I've seen ppl put $100 bills, their cigarette pack, and some other crap but I've never seen anyone put a joy stick - a Sony Playstation Joystick! Now that's unique!

wouldn't +24 offset push the wheel out more??? (versus the +30 offset)
and thus would clear the brakes even further???

I don't really know how it works exactly, that's just what I was told by Bryan. He said the +24 was supposed to fit, but when they tried them, they didn't. Anyway, I haven't tried it obviously, that's just how it was told to me.

So are you getting a lot of looks with the GT-V's? Man, it's unbelievable how many people are staring at them. I mean, I got quite a few looks before, but it's like the rims took it to a whole different level. Pretty crazy.

from this pic it looks like Volk has a universal design of wheel that you could just change the face on. like you could take the front off of a GT-C and just screw it onto this rim. or am i just a retard?

It is a 2-piece wheel. And it does look like you could put a different center in it, but I don't know if you can actually do it, or if it just looks that way. Mabye I'll run in to someone with some GT-C's and we can try!

Yes, alot of looks I think due to the offset. These two piece wheels can be interchanged with different styles but not warrented by Rays Wheels. I would think it's due to the balance of the wheel with specific center pieces....JMO
