Default Volk GT-C Face 1, Face 2 ?

Is there a preference here? Does one fit, and the other does not? What face looks more agressive? I have Brembo's. This is confusing as @ss. Set me straight here folks!! Let me know what works.

Respect

I just looked at the fitment chart. The GT-C doesnt come in a +21 offset for face 2 in any 19 inch size.

Face 1 is for the front to allow room for BBK and face 2 is to get a deeper lip. Do you guys have any vendors to call for help on this stuff?

i believe face 1 for BBK upgrade option. So if you don't upgrade your brake then you can use either one.

Face 1 has a flat look to the spoke, Face 2 has a concave look

we have these on our other shop car (in D Black) - looks awesome

PS - I emailed you Jet - did you get it?

Z1 Performance...... Yes Adam I got your response to my price inquiry on the LE37T. I can't decide between these 2 wheels. I'm leaning more towards the GT-C. But I haven't got all the information to make a decision yet.

I would like to go all face 1 19x8.5 +14 offset A high pad and 19x9.5 +22 offset B mid pad but I don't know how it looks. Anyone got pics? The face 1 has wider lips.

Respect

Jet, I had the same dilemma. If you go with LE-37T, I would go 10.5 on the rear for deep lip. Good Luck on your choice!!

I got face1 for the fronts and face2 for the rear. The face1 is a "high pad" rim that pushes the spokes out from the hub to allow clearance for big brakes. The lip is bigger on a face2, and the spokes come out away from the hub. The spokes on the face1 are flatter.

Face1:


Face2:




Regarding your post about anodized rotors from Stoptech, you can see the rotor comes off of the hat with a bunch of bolts. You could disassemble them and have the parts blasted, then anodized or powdercoated whatever colour you like.

Thanks for the pics but the info is inncorrect. Face 1 can be had in high/mid/low pad sizes as well as face 2 high/mid/low pad sizes.

The face 1 you have is a high pad. The face 2 you have is a mid pad.

Lips are actually bigger on face 1 wheels.

A 19X9.5 wheel face 1 mid pad with a +22 offset has a 86mm lip.

A 19X9.5 wheel face 2 mid pad with a +24 has a 73mm lip dispite the bigger offset.
