Volk G12 wheels

Hey guys

I need opinions for this rims for my car

Jay9722

I'm considering them as well. They are nice and light, good quality, and look really good. I'd prefer a gunmetal with my polar silver metallic Turbo but I will probably go silver.

The color is the only thing that is stoping me from buying them... I like gunmetal too for my silver TT but maybe I will get it black...

I've seen these advertised on here. There is only one set left I believe. They are a good price so just buy them and get them painted!

What are the dimensions - diameter, width and offsets? You don't want to get surprised with a NB offset that requires a huge spacer.

"These are a fully forged aluminum one piece wheel. The front wheels (19"x8.5") weigh 23 lbs each, and the rears
(19"x12") weigh 26 lbs each."

Would I need a spacer? Could I use the same tires I have on the original rims right now?

I know I really like them but I'm still looking... There is good deals on eBay too for:

OZ ULTRALEGGERA
Champion Motorsport Forged RF171 wheels

I think 3 of them look the same... Which one is the best option?

jhbrennan

What are the offsets - that's a very important dimension for you to know.

235/30-19's should be OK on the front and 305/30-19's might be a little small but many folks run them on 12 inch widths.

volks are ok, their 5x130 fitments have been lame in recent years.

Hmmm ok is not enough for me anymore and I know you were in the business so I pass... What about OZ?

rijowysock

problem is... monoblock wheel.. what do you do...

you make a larger pad to accomidate 5x130 and you say... what are we going to sell

8.5+51's for every porsche made (check)....

then they do usually an 11 and a 12.. 11+61 for the narrow body and 12+60 or around that for the widebody.. why? cause they can add spacer to the 11 and sell to cayman/boxster guys too.

problem is in their attempt to save money because their molds are extremely expensive you lack great fitment because they are appealing to the masses.

OZ is same way, even their mulitpiece wheels lack fitment.

need to go to a american made assembled wheel.. obviously the first choice is HRE (i know main people if you need a set, helped a few members on here).. but you can go ADV..(expensive now).. CCW (doing a new 2 piece wheel 19 and 20)..and the rest are pretty much made in someones basement..

theres tons of miami companies, you should really look into vossen forged.. they are local to you and the owner is a close friend for over a decade..... would work with you directly on fitment and get it done right.

u need multipiece wheels.. dont settle for no name company as many are fly by night... big names have been in the game so long either expensive and perfect or discount and cookie cutter fitments.
