Volk is gay

I want to get the Volk GT-7's in 19's but they don't offer enough wheel sizes. I'd like to go with a 10" in rear and 9" up front but they only come in 8 1/2", 9 1/2", and 10 1/2". Whats up with that. Plus if they did have a 10" wheel they don't offer a large enough positive offset, probably need a +53-55 with a 10" wheel. I guess 9.5" in rear and 8.5" in front will have to work, but gay!

oooo big half inch difference, not that big of a deal. Not like you're gonna hook with 19"s anyway.

Volk can't possibly be gay with all the ugly-*** taste-challenged wheel designs and colors they make. No "queer eye" there.

I dont know....now that you mention it they do always seem to hang out in pairs alot.

And I never thought about it before but if you listen to the way they sound...

Also explains why every volks apartment I ever visited was so well decorated.

I think Jake may not be so crazy after all!

Cool

It takes one, to know one, so be careful.

AFAIK, Volk never made the SE37's in 19-inch sizes, only 18-inch.

19-inch wheels on a seven are too big anyway. There isn't enough sidewall to prevent rim damage from typical roads, not to mention the increased inertia.

I always find these threads about 19" wheels rather amusing. They're obviously way too big for the car.

Oh my lord, this totally flies in the face with the assumption that bigger wheels are always better! What ever shall we do?!
