Default My new Volks GT-C

I got tired of my second set of wheels and I put them on my wifes 300tt and got an excuse to get mine. They are mercury silver 19 X 9.5 rears and 19 X 8.5 fronts wrapped with Toyo TS-1s 275-30 rars and 245-30 fronts. They look amazing low res gives them no justice.

This is the only good day I got where I can clean the car. I did a quick wash and took a couple of pics. The guys at Hopup wanted me to send them a pic.

Nice Rims...I have the same once on my super black. Just curious..what made you go with the 30 series front and back? I went 35 series front and back, and clearly, my back tire is a bit taller than the front. I probably should have gone 35 front, 30 back...just wondering what your thoughts on this are.

I was going to go with 35 fronts but at the time I bought the tire the wholesaler did not have 35's. I didnt want to wait 3-4 days for the others so I went with the 30's. I like them and they look good.

Another thing. I got the idea for the wheels from Indyzcar. The wheels look amazing on his car but I thought the front tires looked a little taller than the rear. I like the same height front and back.

NICE!!! I was considering Merc Sil myself but then decided that Gold is a better choice for my white G. Do you have a close up of the rim only? show off that Merc Sil shine

Guerojo,

Wheels look great! I want some. Are they Face 1 or Face 2 GT-C's? And what are the differences between the two? Pic's look the same to me!

Yea, Face 1 or 2? I'm guessing 1 in front, 2 in back.

Default Nice on SuperBlack

Would those wheels look hot on Super Black? I'm leaning towards those over the LE37T for my Enthusiast.

My friend I am happy for You. Your car now has the wheels it deserves!!!!

Your one of my bros on the forum, so I did not want to say anything about the other wheels (which might or might not be dressing up an Escalade somewhere in TX)

Now your ride is one to be envied and envy it I do. So since we are always trying to one up each other, I am ordering my wheels tommorrow. From Hop Up no less!

Look out G, I am coming for you!!!!
