Pics of Volks on FC's???

Hey all

Does anyone have pics of 18" Volk wheels (like the TE37 or the LE37) on a FC??? I would love to see what they look like in that size, but all i can find is supra pictures on the internet. Thats no good! Show some love for FC's and post some pics!

If you dont have any pics like that, FC's with wide (like 255-275) tires on them would be cool too!

There aren't to many FC's on 18's. Here a few no so great pics of my car on my new 17 volks. The 255 rear tire is sweet... I just need a pic that shows it!

Your wheels look so sweet! I want the same sizes in a volk le37, but 18". Same 7.5inch front and 9.5 rear. God damn does that 9.5 look sweet! Totally fills out the rear of the car!

Any problems with rubbing? Sweet wheels!

Thanks. No problems at all with rubbing. I do have coilovers though. The 9.5 really is nice. I need to get a few better pics up so you can really see better what it looks like.

Heh, the guy driving the street sweeper stopped by to say me car looked really mean with the new wheels in the back... he also said I should make lots more HP!

Yes, they are gram lites, not te/le37's. I just posted so he could see the wheel sizes.

Not sure of the persons name any more but there was a red S5 N/A with the Nelson super charger with White 17's? TE37's. Boy did it look sweet (Kevin you know who I am talking about). Now that would be a pic to show off volks. He was at SS 4 so any one could probably find the pics.

Yo,


Found these on a Japanese used car superstore website.



And...




This is the car, a nice clean TII:

http://www.kaizousha.com/P02.asp?car=772


How much is Y480,000? You don't want to know.

$4,110.73

I know, it's crazy.

I want those rims bad. They look like 16's too.
