Anyone have a picture of Volk GT-P or GT-A on a FD?

Hey Guys, My baby needs some new shoes, I'm thinkin about getting GT-p or GT-a. I know that 17 by 8 and 17 by 10 will fit nicely. What about 17 by 9 up front? Will this rub or hurt performance? I really can't decide whice ones to get they both looks soooo nice.
I just love those fat lips

One of my customers should be receiving his GT-P's next week, depending on when he gets tires, he should have pics I'm sure. I can enclose a pic of the wheel unmounted if you'd like. This is a good pic so let me know.

Oh yeah, when you're ready, don't hesitate to ask. I'd like to continue making happy customers who have a little money left over.

Thanks, Rishie

Yes, I saw the price that was posted awhile back. I think a friend of mine can hook me up with 25% off list it's a little cheaper I saw the GT-As in person and I really like it, it was a 17 by 9s, it had a nice fat lip to it. The GT-Ps center looks alittle flat??This is why I like to see some pictures of it on a 7.

What size are you guys getting it in?

How about the center caps?

How much do they weight?

I called Mackin and the told me that all the GTs are forged? Then why does

the one piece SE or TE cost more then the GTs?

Well, its OK if you're getting them. Honestly, I am kind of up in the air on them at the moment after hearing he could get Fiske wheels as well.

"Forged" 3-piece wheels like CCW, Fikse, HRE, Kinesis, etc. often have forged centers and spun rims, which is probably a lot easier to make than a 1-piece forged wheel. Plus, they can stock all kinds of rim halves and centers and use them for different wheels and/or offsets, which offers some economic benefits.

Oh wait, I am not even sure the GTs are 3-piece, but that is what came to mind when I read this.
