New Wheels: Old School Volk Racing - pics
Finally got some new wheels and had them mounted!
They are Old School Volk Racing GR-C's. They came from Japan and were mounted to a Skyline originally Now they have a new home on my '86 GXL. I really like they style - I think they suit the car.
Specs:
Front 17" X 7" +33 215/45/17
Rear 17" X 8" +36 215/45/17
While I know the tire size isn't perfect, I couldn't turn down the deal. Eventually I'll go wider - especially in the rear.
Here are some pics - Enjoy!

Thanks for the compliments guys!
I think they actually suit the era of the car too.
Being an N/A - I'm not too concerned with the width of the wheels - I'd say any wider would be overkill. I was really lucky to find those offsets though!
I got 'em on ebay for about $500.... shipped

Just a quick question:
When I bought the wheels, they came with Volk-Specific lug nuts. I have looked everywhere for the proper wheel locks but cannot find them. I ended up buying a set of locks that work well (The wheels are locked to the car) but they are not perfect. Ideally I'd like to get some locks that are the same shape as the Volk nuts - but they are hard to find.
Anyone know where I can get them?

One wheel has some curb rash but it's not bad at all. They look sick on his. He had to space them out a bit because of his 300zx brakes. I'll see if I can find a picture of them on his car.

Yeah those are really nice, I have a question though for everyone, I have the same size tire 215/45/17 and was wondering all the size tires that would fit wider of course, without getting a bigger side wall oh and my rims are 7.5 inch wide

I have those in 16" on mine. They have mfr. stickers that say 1993 on them. Mine also have the wrong bolt circle and backspacing, so they came with big bolt-on spacers that change the bolt circle and push them out.
You can find those goofy *** lugnuts at Super Autobachs in Japan, or on ebay.

Be aware, that listing is for 12x1.25, we need 12x1.5. He says he can get those too however.

Nice. I recently bought a set of those but in 16', I got no center cars with mine .
I just need to track down a set of nuts that will fit them and that wont cost $120 and I can fit mine.
Also, please lower your car... just a little bit

Gene: I think that they all come with the goofy lugnuts and spacers. I think that the wheels are all made in one high offset, and then the spacers bring them to the spec listed on the sticker. On my sticker for example, the front wheel says 17" x 7" +33, and that is what it is with the spacer.
