my friend had the s-techs and in pics it was a lil hard to tell but in person it was sorta noticeable..the naked eye wouldnt notice it tho

And yes you will have some gappage still

Thats what I was afraid of and kind of expected. I had 20's on the Z before and there was almost no gap, so going an inch smaller, I figure there will be an inch of a gap with the Volks. I'll have to wait to get them to be sure though!

^^ looking good tony!!!^^


finally i have some pics of my wheels. The car has been in and out of the shop for the past 7 months doing my motor build.

Here they are:
RE30's in formula silver 19x10f 12mm offsett, 19x11 15mm offsett
I am using a 10mm spacer on the front and rear to get these offsetts.

Back when I first bought the car and was broke, I didn't have money for mods so I went with free or almost free, and one of those was painting my calipers red. They came out looking pretty good, but I'm not so sure I should leave them with the Volks on there now. What do you guys think? If I keep them red, should I get some red lugnuts?

Yeah thats what I was thinking...I just needed someone elses opinion on it. Eventually I am going to upgrade to either the Brembo brakes, or spring for a BBK I haven't decided yet.
