do a search you should be able to find picks. I know there are picks of that size wheels of the GT-N's on rotary knights car before it got stolen or whatever, and I'm pretty sure TwinTurboTeddy has the z1's on his yellow 3rd gen.

I have volk racing SE37A Silver for sale

I have 18x 8.5 38mm Kumho 225/40/18 in the front
and 18x9.5 45mm Kumho 265/35/18 in the rear.

They're used for about 8 k miles. Email me if you're interested & want to see the pic. I'm located in LA county.

I switched back to OEM set 1 month ago. I like to have the softer ride now.

Thanks,

Tony

Quivver,
that's exactly what i'm looking for. where do you order your and how much did you pay? i called a few places, they told 2 to 3 months.

Loi, I find 2 to 3 months crazy cause this place I got them at today called and they are being shipped tommorrow, I bought them from a local shop here in Tampa called Racing Zone, I payed 1800 for the wheels and 400 something for the tire and what I can't believe is that Volk's don't come with the center cap which cost $25 each. Also a crap load of tax. The guy I bought them from I've known for a while so he gave me a good deal, if you ask Rotary Knight he'll tell you the same since I saw in one of his post that around 1800 for GT series volks is a good price. If your interested I can talk to that guy and see if he can give you the same deal. Also where do you live?

Sure I'll give him a call tommorrow, and see if he can give you the same deal, not sure how that would work with shipping maybe he can have them shipped directly to you, also you might want to check with AT2 he sells volk's and he might live in California, I think AT2 matchs prices also.
Are you looking for rims and tires? and do you want the center cap at $25 a cap.

My email address is bbigdl@hotmail.com

Sorry about that I meant ARD T2 his name is Rishie and he can get good deals on Volks, I have a feeling he lives in Cali. Send him a private message and he'll get back to you, he sold rims to a few people that I know and quite a few people on this list.
