19" Volk GT-C got them yesterday but some bad news

I'm just happy enough these came as quick as they did I wasn't really pissed when they showed me a huge nic on the lip of one of the rims. But at least I have 3 of them. The other one is being checked out by UPS and being replaced.

Actually I think you got the knock off GT-C's that have been floating around... The real (non-imitation) Volk's are packaged in foam then double boxed. plus there is something subtle that is differnet from the rim which I don't recall...

Haha, sorry but they don't make replicas this nice. If they did, Volk would be out of business

Volk GTCs

Hey RedTT, the rims are really nice...i'm thinking about getting the same rims myself...but in gold.

what're the sizes for those rims? 18s or 17s? you got any other pictures of the rim depth for both the front and the rear rims? i really like these because of the polished lip...but i'm looking to get them as deep as possible.

thanks

I think you're right.. I think those are the Roy's Engineering GTC's! (kidding of course as I knew you were)

Those do look nice though. Should look huge on your car.

They are 19x8.5 +49f, and 19x9.5 +45r

I didn't even accept the one with the nic on it. I'm suppose to get another one from Mackin Industries sometime soon. Seeing as it only took less than a month to get the first 3, I'm not that mad about the whole thing. I just wonder what UPS is going to do with that wheel. Would look really nice as a spare don't you think(:
