Nice wheels, I just got mine in last week after a 3 month wait as well. On these, you only put the gold sticker on the spokes that say Volk Racing Limited Edition-you cannot use the regular Rays or Volk stickers because they are black and you wont see them....what tire sizes did you go with? A little tip for sticker placement, spray soapy water on the spoke you want to put the sticker on, then peel it and place it where you want. When you have it where you want take a credit card and a soft rag and squegee the water out from underneath, peel sticker cover off and enjoy

Alberto, you got your rims too, NICE. I went with BF Goodrich KDW2's 255/35 & 285/35. I had 245/35 & 275/35 on my previous setup and looked a little too sretched, IMO. I really wanted 295's in the rear but didn't want to roll the fenders. Many people that went with KDW2's had really good reviews on them, so I gave them a try. Can't wait mount these on the car to see how the KDW2's compare to my T1-S's.

Thanks for the tip on the sticker placement! It didn't even come across me doing it that way. Hmm, I would think that the white out line on the black stickers will give the letters a little more contrast though?

Those are the same tires and sizes I am about to order! We have similar good taste On these special edition, your only "supposed" to run the gold sticker, thats what I did. Of course they are your wheels so you can run 1 sticker, a combination of two or even go all out flamer and do 3<---j/k. Where did you get yours from ? BTW you havent put them on yet? Are you lowered at all? I was told a 285 lowered you would have to roll or cut the fender...

Hmm, was thinking about running the two traditional "VOLK" & "RAYS" sticker on the spokes. But, now you got me thinking about just putting on the "LIMITED" sticker.

I'm still on stock height. Want to get my Z lowered, but I have the fear of hitting a pothole and the front bumper getting ripped right off. NYC streets are horrible!

My ride is at the shop getting the TT installed. Hopefully, it will be finished by this week so I can sport my new shoes with the new found power.


I PMed you with info on the tires.

Thanks and welcome to the forums. I would check with our sponsers for pricing and avalibility. Look in the Vendor classifieds section under Wheels. I would contact either one of these sponsors: Evolution Autosport, Injected Performance & Avalon Racing. Usually, they have the wheels in stock and provide great customer service.

You have silverstone right?

OMG I saw these LE's on a silverstone in gunmetal, IN person, and it just looks so proper. If you think it looks remotely good in a pic, in person they're gorgeous. The colors go together so well.

I lost sleep over the LE's but in the end I went with gunmetal SF's instead. I always wanted lots of lip in the back so I caved.
Still get excited everytime I see LE's in the correct 9.5 by 10.5 (+22) setup.

If you DO decide to go that route you will NOT be disappointed.



Sorry bout the tangent guys...now where are those black LE pics mounted on the car??!??

It will be raining all day here in NY. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

NOTE: I thought that I wouldn't need to roll my fenders on stock height with the 285/35's but I do. I noticed that I get slight rubbing when I go over dips on the road and during fast cornering.

BTW, does anybody know of a good place to get my fenders rolled in the NY/NJ area?

I saw them on a black z this past week and LOVED them! At first he was driving so i didnt know what wheels they were (looked amazing with the polished lip though) and then he came to a red light right near me and i was able to see that they were gunmetal le37t's. Hot!
