i'm in the market for some Gram Lights 57 Pro, or some Volks Racing CE28N, anybody know where to get em for some good prices? i'm saving up about 1500, not quite there yet. the key to these rims are i want gold rims with the silver, polished lip. those two rims are the best i've found, and i really like their look

i'm not against getting knockoffs, but i haven't found any gold w/silver lip knockoffs that have good sizes and offsets. i'm lookin for a 17x8.5 inch wheel, offsets aren't too important because i can get spacers. any advice is appreciated.

1) don't get spacers. volks make the right offset for that so get the right one.

2) Importhookup.com . Just look through the forum. pretty easy to find and the best price on volks (or any other high-end wheel for that matter) I've seen on the internet.

You're the one that talked me out of spacers and out of getting Advans because they don't have the right offset Exar so I hope you agree. :pface

Mmmm... I love gooooold. I say get volks/gram lights, even if you have to wait a while. Their offsets and sizes are good, so you don't need spacers. I was looking for gold w/ polished lip for my car, but I eventually setlled on CE28's (completely gold). I noticed that this year, they have a limited edition diamond cut CE28 w/ a polished lip.

Oooh, I wanna open a wheel store. How does one go about doing this?

*EDIT* Zenkid, if you don't mind me asking, what color is your car?

I want to paint my car black and get the bronze CE28 rims from Volk, but my car has a ****load of dings so it would be like a $5,000 paintjob, which is JUST A LITTLE to much for me =p. The lady I bought it from didn't know how to drive.

IMO...the gold VOLK, and only because Volk has such a nice looking gold, would look nice on red. but then again...maybe that's because the red color has already overcome me! LOL

IMO, gold looks good on black, white and blue. I've never seen it on red though. Got any pics?
