VOLK 'GRAM LIGHT' Wheels

[Exar-Kun]

I just got my VOLK 'Gram light' wheels on, with 225-45-17 Pzero "y" rated tires, and all I can say is:"whoa."

its like my car is running on rails, and the wheels themselves weigh very little, I cant tell much of a difference, except in braking, but the car seems much more quick steering and seems to run through gears faster(might just be me, tho)

anyways, I would whole heartedly recomend RAYS wheels(VOLK) to anyone.

mine are gram light gunmetal, 17x7.5" 30mm offset.

-chetPICS SOON!

according the the wheel weight thing they are only 17 lbs each, and they're cast! that's pretty good, but they do cost a lot, don't they? i like the GTN's in gold, but they cost even more. guess i'll have to stick with my cheapo gold motegi mr12's.

I want a set of SSR Integrals so damn bad. But they're rather expensive. My only hope is to find a used set in decent shape...but unfortunately no one ever wants to get rid of them.

[Exar-Kun]

BTW, I put mine on a scale, just to see, it read 16.1 lbs at work, now Im not sure how accurate the scale is, but they are UBER light for a cast wheel, look sick, too.

hell yeah dude, I was actually originally considering getting those, I just love the look, simple and clean, awesome shade of gunmetal when compared to other gunmetal wheels. Plus those are really light. BTW, what tires are you using?

You stink...well actually, you're the man. How much did they run you. I really want a set of those too...GET SOME PICS UP HERE!

[Exar-Kun]

its was $1166 including taxes, etc for the wheelsand about $700 for the tires, taexes and everything

so about 1800 dollars. I love them, I gotta get the pics of 'before', 'after', and the wheel and wheel-with-tire pics developed. then scan them man I need a digital camera. I also got pics of my adjustable tension rods and stuff in the cam...heh.
