As a GL57S Pro owner myself, I gotta love the wheel, But I think more pics are in order. More distant shots and side shots perhaps?
And perhaps more info on the fender mods needed such as how much cutting or pulling really was needed etc....

+1 for being different BTW

The offset and lil *** tire aren't my thing, but i could get used to it. I couldn't do the Volk/Gramlite mix thing though. I think the rims are too different.

Thanks for all the comments folks, both for and against. This is a discussion board, so all views are welcomed. Let me just say that making these fit was not easy, it required alot of fender pulling. Here's a couple more crappy pics, I'll post better pics when I get a hold of a real camera. The second picture shows that the wheels don't stick out "lowrider" style like some seem to believe.

they would stick out if you weren't running serious camber, super stretched tires and pulled the fenders quite a bit judging by the shape

I think your pictures look good though! I like it.

Sometimes mismatched wheels look ok, but overall I'm not a fan of it. I mean the real reason it came about is because drifter have multiple sets of rear wheels with mounted tires for practice, events, street, etc...

Still, I'd love a full set of either...

Why is everyone getting so heated about another's style choice? This is the reason why we modify our cars in the first place, so its our own.

Stock offsets are 100x better than ghetto-gangster tilted offsets. I can see that happening on Jetta's like the other pictures because I see that BS all the time. On a Z? Why...
