Okay so it looks like I should be getting a set of wheels by the end of march or beginning of April.

I was looking at the gun metal Volk Gt-7 but need to determine what size to get.

I and thinking about either 18" X 9" fronts, 18" X 10" back
or go up a size to 19" X 9.5" front and 19" X 10.5" back.

Also trying to determine offset for both. I was thinking maybe 3 to 4 inches in the back and maybe 2 in the front. Does that sound right. I have never bought any tires like this before and don't want to get something that is going to stick out really bad. Let me know what you guys think.

 

daniel will have your answer, since he has gt-7's.

 

19x9.5 +15 or +17
19x10.5 +18, +22, or +24

better

 

So what kind of lips would those offsets give me?

 

They will have big lips for that style of wheel. lower offsets are always better.

 

Are volk wheels really 750 to 900 dollars each? I couldn't believe it when I heard that from the guy at discount tire.

 

Yeah Volks can get really expensive... anywhere from ~2000 to ~3000 (just depends on the type of volks) just for the wheels plus another ~1000 for some decent tires. But dont go to discount tire for wheels. Your best bet is going to be one of the Vendors here on the forum.... Try Chris at F1 motorsports.....

 

Yeah I think I will buy the wheels from someone on line and just get the tires from discount so I can get the warranty on them.

 

I feel ya Aaron, as a college student this was a deal breaker for me. For the same amount I was able to buy coilovers, camber kit, rims and tires. Don't get me wrong though, if I had the cash I'd get the Volks which I suggest for you as well.

 

Check the marketpace here and on my350z. Wheel ****** are alway selling there rims for cheap on both sites.

 

+1 on that tony.......aaron...people in the market place here always have gt-7's for sale......some of them look good as new.....
