yup. Getting the first set in the states. Should be in soon. My offsets are very very aggressive to clear my BBK, so my fenders would definitely need to be rolled.

Are you talking about Volks in general or the GTS?

A LOT of members have Volk Wheels... I have SFC's in MS and I love them ... Offsets will depend on your future plans... How agressive can you go? Do you plan on lowering your car (Or is it already dropped)? What tires are you planning on getting (some tires have a "MEATIER" sidewall than others)? There are more things to consider when buying new wheels...

good job on the brembos.

I didn't wait that long...only about a month now. Still waiting tho. Just...talking to the right person at the right time can work wonders to reduce wait time.

yup brembos are great, but not enough if you're running FI and wanna stop just as fast...or if you track your car a lot. That's why i dumped my oem brembos and got the stoptech 14" front and rear.

btw, the brembos are oem here too on select models.

my GTS should be in anytime now.
