your wheels were shipped on monday... The GT centercaps are in one of the wheel boxes, all wrapped together in bubble wrapping.

I think they have this wheel with like a +28 or +30. You can run larger tires without rolling and it will tuck if you are drop low enough. +22 is probably the lower you can go to tuck. I don't have the GTS application chart up so I'm not too sure what the other offsets they offer.

I dont know if this will help you guys if you've never seen the finish of the Mercury Silver, I think on our cars it's a very close match to the door handles.

azula, have you considered the Gold GTS on your DB? I think that color looks tight on DB and PPW...just a thought.

That's the exact reason why I got them in Merc!

Hey, I ain't mad. It's just proof that we have really good tatse. lol. But Seriously, you should look into the gold with DB. It looks amazing. And I'm not saying that so you don't get the same color. Serously, Gold on DB looks sick. If you get them, either color, I want to see those bad boys. Maybe we can do a photo shoot when you get em'. Your ride is sick, these rims will give you that edge your looking for that the Iforged just can't compete with. Go for em'.

the only downside to these wheels is that everybody is getting them, that's the only dilemma i'm trying to get past....

Jes-z, we have to meet up sometime when ur not busy so i can take a peak at them before i make a final decision....

Supposedly, everyone is getting them. But I doubt in our area. Most people in the Southeast barely have heard of Volk, or are now just getting fimiliar. I had a guy in a porsche twin turbo ask me about my wheels this weekend. When I told him that they were lighter than HRE's, he thought I was lying. Forget who's getting them, get em' cuz you like em'. Besides after almost 6 months I'm still the only guy in Miami with em ( or so at least I think). There's a guy on here that has them in Ti Gunmetal, but I've never seen him in the streets or seen pictures of the car on the forum.
