OOh.. special edition 20" time attack RE30s? The GT-R is a tricky car when it comes to wheels... IMO it looks better with mono block wheels with no lip.. but this one looks nice, probably because the lip is black so it's less noticeable.

I think it looks okay. Better than Branew for sure but I prefer the LMs over this.

Looks pretty sweet!

Too bad the rear wheel fitment sucks. I thought Volk could make these
with the proper offsets... (?)

Wheel Spacers on a 170+ mph car? Not so sure I'd go that route.

I agree that the time attack look is way better than the all-blacked out look.

Another thing, the car looks great as is. Not only does it not need to be lowered anymore, doing so would compromise it's purpose. It's a performance monster. Why lower it so much you compromise it's performance attributes. This thing is meant to be handled, not worry about driving carefully cause it low to the ground.
