Mathys Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I decided to upgrade my 18" Rays to 19" Volk Racing GTS rims. I'm keeping the 18's for the winter, just fitted some Dunlop Wintersport M3 on them in stock sizes. First I looked around a bit on my350z and eventually Status Auto Design was the cheapest for me. They could also supply the wheels with tyres and balance them. So I got GTS 19X9.5 +17 in front with Goodyear F1 GSD3 255/35/19 GTS 19X10.5 +18 in rear with Goodyear F1 GSD3 275/35/19 The ride comfort is as good or better like the standard setup. The goodyears are really nice tyres, not as hard as the Bridgestones. The fitter from the wintertyres required an extra person to get them off the rays! Got some pictures, not really high quality. At least you get an idea how it looks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathys Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Thanks for all the positive words! These wheels cost me including shipment/tyres/balancing 4500$, add some customs and you won't make it with 5000$......

Pm your email address if u like and I can send some more to make it clear that I do have centre caps lol - I can see them, just wanting a close up to see if those type of wheels would be an option. Have you got a Photobucket account? No need to worry about size limits then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 nice wheels but wrong section (mind you this is one of the rare occasions where you could be undecided if to post in styling or performance forums, unless you bought some Ruff wheels ) moved to performance as these are nice forged wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
