New Volks Balanced and Mounted

**Mr. Shadow** · Wed, May-06-2009, 08:06:06 PM

I gotta say that these things

The first thing I did today, well sort of after the whole bathroom thing

Centering rings and centercaps went on with out a hitch, well not so much the centercaps; they were a bit of a pita.

The balance of these wheels is nuts, the most was .5 ounces out and the last one was in perfect balance; even ralph (who owns the tire shop) was impressed

You gotta see these things in person, damn

*EDIT*

The specs:

Volk TE37 18/8.5 ET35 PS2's 225/45/18
Volk TE37 18/9.5 ET28 PS2's 255/40/18

Sorry about the bad quality the computer downgraded the quality, I only have a few mintues to post these. I will post much better higher res pics later on.

I know you all want to see some pics, so ask and ye shall receive!!!

Bask in the awesomeness!!!

The wheels (and the car in general) look amazing!!!! You must be thrilled to finally have them on.

They look great--although I'm not the biggest fan of the "time attack" look, but to each his/her own. Great rims and quality.
