Default 3.5 month wait and they are finally here!!!

Hmmmm what could it be???



















































A clue perhaps??









But which is it???









Ohhhhhh ahhhhhhhh! They're 19" gunmetal Volk SF Challenges!


















Ok so that was a bit dramatic, but hell I waited longer for these than I did for the car, I'm excited! They're going onto the car in a few hours, will have some pics tonight

Oh, and HUGE thanks to Chris from F1 Motorsports for the INSANE deal! Call him for your needs and make sure to tell him Dave from ActiveTuning sent ya. Super big thanks to Bridgestone for the tires too The wheels are being wrapped in S0-3's

My home server is being pounded lol. If you don't get anything with a couple reloads....just wait a little while and try again so the hits die down a bit. A couple reloads should get em up though.

Fronts are 19x8.5 and rears are 19x9.5 with 245/30 in the front and 275/30 in the rear

Why the hell did it take so long? Revhigh sold me a pair just a couple of days ago and said they will only take three days to get in and two days to ship to me. Just seems like something is wrong with that picture. Is it because some people might have better hookups on ordering or is maybe I being told something that will not happen?

Nice looking wheels, but something about the inner rims and the rivets just don't work for me. Too many details that don't work together really prevent it from being a cohesive design. As much as I dislike the guys from iForged, their Aero design blows this one away.

Not trying to start anything......at best it's just my personal opinion.....but I've always wondered why Volk didn't make a cleaner five spoke/rivet type wheel.

Good luck with them.....you can't beat Volk's quality.

I'm suprised how good those wheels look on the sunset. Great choice though!

intersting thoughts, that is exactly why I didn't get these wheels, even though I still really like them I am not sure I could ever get use to how busy they are (I think the 57F-pro's where a little cleaner). They are growing on my, but they are busy.

Car looks great, good choice

I feel what you're saying in terms of them being busy. I guess it's a matter of taste, can't complain about those aero's though

I want to do plenum and test pipes next. Also we'll be doing a spoiler and fiberglassing the trunk for a system

I love those wheels, but only on a Z.... I don't think they would look right on my G for some reason... then on the other hand, the Aero's are just too plain for my tastes as well (that's why I'm a big fan of the Nismo 19's w/ the 10.5" rear)

I think the best designs are simple, where form equals function. I don't consider the Aeros plain at all, at least not with the rivets. The basic design is similar to one from HRE....and it's a classic.

The basic design of the Z is exceptional, but when you start adding meaningless spoilers and grotesque body kits, you've ruined what the original designers accomplished: a vehicle with form and execution equal to that of cars with much higher prices. You don't see ridiculous, steroid-induced body kits for Aston Martins or Ferraris. For the same reason, I don't think the Volk Challenge works that well with the Z. Too much unnecessary detail and surface texture. iForged is a disgraceful company, but their Aero is one of the best wheels for the Z, as is my personal favorite, the Volk TE37.

I love those wheels on your lemans sunset, good choice. IMO theyre not busy at all. Now if you had a 20" Bling, Bling Yo-YO Crap happening there, thats busy. I love Lemans Sunset and those rims accentuate your color even more. Congrats!!!

I think some nice brakes, like a Stoptech or Rotora set, would go well with the big rims.
