I think I will keep them on until my replacement Sevas wheel comes in (the S-55's have been on backorder for months). At that time I am going to sell these and go back to them until I can afford some iForged.

They do look a lot better in person than those pics. I think if the rear lip was larger I would keep them. They fit perfect and would even work without the fenders being rolled.

How much lighter are these than the sevas? Notice any difference in off the line performance?

idk you guys, I think it looks really good. Did you already have your fenders rolled before putting the Volks on?

My rears are rolled but I can pretty much guarantee that these would fit without rolling. They are 7mm higher offset and 0.5" narrower than my sevas.

I'll try to get some today or tomorrow. Work has been nuts and by the time I go pick up my daughter from preschool and make her dinner it is dark. I'm off work tomorrow so I should be able to get some by then for sure.

At first I didn't like them but they are really growing on my. I might still sell them once my replacement sevas comes in but I think if I blacked out my door handles these would look awesome.

OK I took some fast pics at lunch. They are still not good but better than my phone.


This pic is more what the color looks like in person:





Here are some other shots but they are too bright.






Here is what a 20x9.5 +47 looks like: (chico, take note since we will get asked later ) These are the face #2 which give more concave JDM style spokes but less lip by ~0.5".

Are the bolts for the spokes painted as well? They look like it. If those were Chromed, I think it would look soo much better. Overall they look good, though.

Yes the bolts are gunmetal too. I think if they were polished they would look a little strange. They could be polished quite easy.
