^ Off to a good start

 

appreciate it good sir. shes coming along slowly but surely. probably going to get some D2's with the ol tax return. along with a front lip and rear window visor

 

Looks good. as you mentioned, a drop will make a huge difference in the look. What tire sizes did you go with. Mine are 245/35/19 F and 275/35/19 R. I need new tires now and I am going with 255/35/19 F and 285/35/19 R

 

@beezee. im 255/40/19 in the front and 285/35/19 in the rear. i know its a lower profile in the rear but looking at it you cant tell. but hopefully ill have coilovers here shortly. id like to pick up a set of D2's. but pretty much whatever i can find a good deal on is what im going to go with

 

Where do you get lugs like this?

 

Never mind I found them.

 

Stock height, but here's my square setup 19x10.5+17

 

I have a question guys. I hope I didn't get ripped off. I bought a set of GTS's 19x9.5 +17 19x10.5 +18 in Mercury Silver. When they arrived, I noticed none of the wheels had the "GTS" logo on the outside lip.

Is this normal? Are these real GTS barrels? I can post pictures if anyone wants to see.

 

duh post pics!

When they arrived, I noticed none of the wheels had the "GTS" logo on the outside lip. However, there are several stickers on the inside of of the barrel. I'm not sure if they could be removed from the original barrel and placed on these. The stickers says they were made in 2006 and 2007.

Ok, here are some pictures. Looks like some of the labels are even scratched off.

I believe the logo on the outside lip was just a decal. Since lips like those require constant buffing and refinishing to stay fresh looking, I'm sure it was rubbed off over time.

 

Ok, that's good news. I thought the logo was etched or pressed in.

 

looks good to me. but im no volk specialist

 

I'm almost 100% positive it's a decal but I'm sure another GTS owner can verify that. Here's a picture for reference:


As far as the barrels, they look legit.

 

On another note, it looks like the valve stems were replaced at some point. Not that big of a deal if they hold air fine but that's why you have an empty hole where the stem should be. They should look like this:

 

I'm thinking they have just been worked on at some part of their life the valve stems are changed too.

 

Yeah, these wheels aren't in the best condition. I'm hoping I can take them somewhere to get them refinished and polished.
