Volk G-Blacks on my MR

My G-Black Volk LE37T's finally showed up. Thought I would share some chessy driveway pics. I went w/ 18x8.5 w/ 30 offset and Michelin PS2's 245.40.18. This combo weighs 41lbs. compared to 43lbs for the stock BBS & Advan combo. Not bad saving 2 lbs. per corner on 18 inch wheels. Might be a little more since I also used Ray's Duraluminum lug nuts. Car is lowered on Swift springs and there's no rubbing whatsoever in case anyone's wondering.

Thanks for looking!

Those Swift springs are nice. I'm still torn between those and the Works springs. The wheels look good. First MR that I have seen with the polished lip.

I actually had them ordered through my local Discount Tire store. Paid $2k for the wheels & $800 for the PS2's. Got a pretty good deal I think.

Get the Swift springs. The lowered ride height still maintains the factory rake and my MR handles quite a bit better. I'm really pleased w/ springs although it did take a leap of faith for me to order & install them, but it turned out great.
