Just got these installed Friday after a 10 week wait. I was hoping the Grey would be a little darker than what it is but I'm more than happy with the end result. Prior to these wheels I was running 5Zigen 5ZR 19x8 +45 but the black/polished lip was getting old with me not to mention they didn't fit as wheel as I'd like them too. So here's a couple of quick pictures, the car and wheels are a little dirty. Got to get that big brake kit done now..... Still waiting on Nismo and their lip kit before getting the Stillen fascia

Volk GT-S Titanium Grey19x8.5 +34 (style B face)Falken 452 245/40-19 Gunmetal forged lugs (brand??? edit soon)











What do you guys think?No rubbing what so ever on the Eibach drop

I like the style. Not really feeling the color. I think you should go with the black rims of that style

Yeah.... I'd agree but it's like a mom with an ugly baby, I have to like them. The problem with researching the colors is every picture looked different online. I didn't know if it was going to be a gunmetal grey or a hyper black. We'll see what the car looks like when it's all done.... I'm a fan of contrasting colors but at the same time like the slight match

What's not to like? I think it is kind of hard to mess up a silver, grey, gunmetal etc color wheel especially on a car in the same color family.

Although - the wheel color and car dont have to exactly match to look good - yours almost matches -

It looks good to me - but who am I??

No doubt they look good.... In different lighting it either looks the same or darker then the paint on the car. I'm going to have to do a good photo shoot one day soon, the pictures really don't do a whole lot of justice to the car. Thanks for the opinions

The car is dropped with the Eibach setup. Although that tire size is about .400" larger in diameter than the stock tires and almost 3/4" larger than my last 19" setup. Just thought about the added tire as an even greater drop with those wheel gaps

For everything including the lugs, mounting ect…. It was $3600. But for just the wheels, I believe they were about $625 each. I don't have the receipt on me but if you need to more accurate I'll post back.

Almost too much for me but forged wheels with low profile tires gives me peace of mind. To make things worse my spoiled a$$ bought the 5Zigen 5ZR ($700+) before these, but at least I can sell those for something.

The car looks great with these rims, great choice!

As for the price, $625 for a Volk is a good deal.

Congratulations.

Thanks guys… The wheels really add to the need of a big brake kit though. One of two project I want to take care of next year with the installation of either the Nismo lip kit or the Stillen Fascia and rockers. Maybe then my car will have the full effect. It still feels half complete even after all the great attention the car gets day to day on the road.

For those who don't know, I got rid of the Altima. I know a lot of people may not be looking for wheels but I hope it's worth a look. Just want to throw it out for those who may not be looking to buy but won't pass up a deal on some Volks.

Why did you sell your altima? And how much are you selling the Volks for?
