Question Volk GT-C

Do you guys think $2700 is a good deal for Volks without tires. According to Bulletproof this is to your door price.
Still gotta add tires, caps and locking lugs.

They said 19's. 9" and 10" rear. GTC's with silver face and polished lip. They said if I find somebody cheaper to send them a link.
The only problem is most sites has call for pricing.
I don't want to wait foeva for the either. Like I think it was Beangrower?

I haven't really searched for pricing on those particular Volks, but it seems like there has to be someone cheaper out there.

yeah, if you don't have tires, its prolly cheaper to go w/ wheeloptions.com. I think a set of sf winnings w/245/35, 275/35 toyo t1s 9" and 10" widths....3600 shipped to your door. Including mounted, balanced, and lugs. The only problem is you can't specify the offset you want. It was a good offset though...something like +22 front and +23 in the rear. Yeah, it was me that waited long. The guy I ordered from even said " wow, never really had mackin/volk take this long for a special order".. ...but yeah, wheeloptions would be your cheapest. If you don't mind Hankook tires, I think you can save 2-300 bucks.

Thanks Beangrower.
I'll try Wheeloptions. I hear Volks doesn't stock SF Winings anymore. They are special order only from Makin.
I'm going with tires that's not stretched to their limit on rears.
Anybody.....QUESTION:
Why is it that lots of guys use tires 19X35 front and 19X30 rears??

Don't really know 650Coupe, 275/35 19's would seem to be a better fit than a 30 profile. Availability maybe?

In any case you can use this site to fuss around with different tire sizes/profiles:

GZIRE, that calculator is pretty cool. If it's correct. Tells you how much you will be off with tire height. THX.
