hey guys,
going to get the Volk GT-V but i can't decide between the regular silver, the gunmetal or the mercury silver. The G is diamond graphite and the place i'm looking to buy the wheels from recommends Toyo T1-R tires. I'm not familliar with these tires so was wondering if anyone had any comments on the performance of these tires.

cheers

I would go with the Gun Metal. Toyo T1-R's are good tires. Just about everybody has them. I have them and they grip pretty well. The tire wear is ok, but you can't expect much from a low pro tire specially if you are lowered.

 

i have mercury silver on my DG... glad i went with it too... if you want the face of the wheel to match the DG...the gunmetal i believe is a lil darker than the DG... but overall matches up really well... as for tires... i run the T1R's and very pleased of the road noise and performance of the tire

 

gunmetal........toyos till i die

 

gunmetal and pretty much everyone has t1r's and is happy with them

 

i have toyo t1-r's and love em.. go gunmetal

 

I have mercury silver myself... like the way it looks a little better than the gun metal, which seems a little too dark to me. Either way you can't go wrong!

 

gunmetal...it looks really good with dg

 

mercury, and deff get the toyos!

 

go gunmetal and the Toyo's are good tires

 

tit gunmetal is a damn close color to dg. Id say go with the gunmetal

 

You could go with the Proxes 4s from Toyo if you want a good all weather tire....they grip great and have a cool tread pattern also, unlike many other all weather brands....still aggressive looking.

 

thanks so much for your input guys, well i'm currently in another dillema. No one has the 9.5 and 10.5 wheels in stock. Everywhere claims at least 60 - 90 days for delivery. However i did manage to find a guy whose got a set in stock, problem is their 8.5 and 9.5. I would be running 245/35 front and 275/35 in the rear, this versus running 255/35 and 285/35 with the bigger wheel. do you think that the extra inch difference in wheel is going to make a difference. plus in 2 months its going to be getting pretty cold here in illinois and i don't drive her much in the winter.... suggestions

once again cheers boys

I'm currently running 245/35 and 275/35 with 19x9.5 fronts and 19x10.5 rears. I didn't know we could run 255/35 and 285/35's.

 

you can but you need to roll the fenders, thats what i've been told anyways
