Volk GT-M Install!

What's up!

I was finally able to have my new wheels installed on my coupe, what do you think?

Wheel sizes 19x 9.5 and 19x10.5!
Tire Sizes Front 255 35 19 and Rear 275 35 19!
(I would have gone 285 in the rear but did not want to cut or roll my rear fenders! Actually I didn't have the money to do this! Maybe with the next set of tires)

I really like the setup, I think the wheel works well with the coupes shape/lines!

Haven't seen another set of GT-M wheels on the road yet, so I think I made a great choice : )

Later,
Carlos

A few more pics!

I installed Tanabe NF210 and SPC rear cambers arms a week before wheels were installed. I was told I should allow the spring to settle before I get my car aligned.

Can anyone in Socal recommend a great alignment shop?

Thanks,
Carlos

the GTMs look so good on the IP! i almost got these rims, but decided on the GTS instead

here is a recommendation for an alignment place. i haven't taken my car in yet, but a lot of the guys said this shop does great work:

West End Alignment
(310)808-9233

Yes, go to West End in Gardena for install/alignment..The guy's name is Darrin..his number is 310-808-9233. He only works by appointments and if you do make an appointment, don't be late. I forgot the price but was pretty decent and he did an excellent job.

I actually traded my stock 19" 6mt wheels for these wheels and cash.
Wheels were brand new in the box with center caps and a set of lugs.

The tires were purchased from Status for a great price including install! (I will be doing business with them again, 18" WORK Meister's for my 510!)

The Tanabe Springs and SPC arms were purchased from AutoHaus in La Puente, CA, best deal I could find anywhere!

Thanks for the compliments! I think they look great especially when looking at them from a few feet away! Up close I feel they look a bit small, but when you view the whole car they look great.

CASKYLINE your correct Ted's wheels finally found a home, he saw them earlier today and thought they looked great. Didn't want to ask him if he regrets the trade, I don't : )
