New Volk VR G2 Wheels

askiles · 06-20-2009, 10:57 AM

So here is my new set of wheels with specs...

Volk VR G2's
19" x 9.5" ET22 w/ Nitto Invo 275-30-19
19" x 10.5" ET25 w/ Nitto Invo 305-30-19

It is an amazing wheel combo. The wheels came in at 20.2 & 21.0 pounds. That is just crazy! The Formula Silver finish is really out of this world. It does not look like a finish in the wheels, it actually looks like metal. I really love them. They especially look good on the Alpine White car.

Oh, I am lowered on H&R's, and there is no rubbing. It comes close in both front and back, just showing that these are the absolute perfect offsets. Also, it is hard to notice the stock exhaust, as it is not coated with a high heat black paint, that really hides it. It is great.

SICK!

Davinhci · 06-20-2009, 11:14 AM

amazing!

HatchetHeldHigh21 · 06-20-2009, 11:14 AM

Looks good...

askiles · 06-20-2009, 11:23 AM

Thanks guys. I think they look really good. IT is funny, because I am not usually a fan of 6 spoke wheels, but when I saw these, I was amazed. I am glad the fit turned out so well. The good people at Volk obviously know what they are doing.

Thanks again to you Kev.

leemik · 06-20-2009, 11:49 AM

looks really great! I like it better than the black TE's on AW that every seems to have these days...

askiles · 06-20-2009, 12:03 PM

I think too many people have black wheels on white cars, so I agree.

-Andy

CSMRX7 · 06-20-2009, 12:44 PM

Wow, those look great. Those just hit my list of favorite wheels. Wonder how they would look on an E90!

808E90 · 06-20-2009, 02:03 PM

Wheels look good!!

D1911 · 06-20-2009, 02:38 PM

those wheels look amazing!

Nicely Done.... Looks Great

Cab5er · 06-20-2009, 02:50 PM

One of the best looking wheels for the E92 M imo. Formula silver looks so tasty

Bluesummer · 06-20-2009, 03:14 PM

holy.... 275 in the front?!

This silver / gun metal color goes really well with Alpine White. I like it much better than the flat / matte black finishes on Alpine White. The black makes the wheel look too much like a spare wheel.

I actually had my Advan RS refinished to that color as well.

N54MPower · 06-20-2009, 03:31 PM

Congrats! They look really good.

doba_s · 06-20-2009, 03:36 PM

275 front

i am running 275 in the rear !! fuck.... thats some crazy rubber!

askiles · 06-20-2009, 03:45 PM

275/30/19 is a perfect front tire. A 9.5" wheel is pretty wide for a front wheel, so it requires a wide tire. I have always liked wide rubber.

-Andy

gthirtyfizle · 06-20-2009, 04:11 PM

Thats crazy. My lm's r 9.5 up front too. But the rubber is 245/30. 275 is nuts. But looking at it again it looks pretty good. The wheels are awsome.
