Talking My Volks GTS

It has been a long wait but it was worth it. Volk GTS 19x9.5+17 front 19x10.5+18 Back running on some RE-11s 265/35/19 F 305/30/19 B lowered on KW3 coilovers SPL arms with Stillen sways. This car is like running on rails. Yes I might be a noobe but thanks to this forum I like how my car changing.

Forged Performance. They have been real helpful along with this forum. I have built other hot rods but this is my first foreign build.

I ordered my mercury silver set from Forged as well. I had excellent communication throughout the wait with them.

Nice ride.

Sorry for the noobness, but I hear that expression all the time: running on rails. What exactly does that mean and what does that feel like? Sold my coils before installing them, so I don't know what it feels like :[

Nice tire set-up. Be careful with the polished aluminum barrels. My old GTS's looked like crap after a year or two.

Thanks for the nice comments. since I went with this set-up the car doesn't lean in the turns and feel any tire rolling. Changing to these wheels with a more aggresive off set and running the RE-11 tires it sticks to the road. This car isn't my DD it only comes out on nice days, mybe the polished lips and tires will last.
