I know Work has been very proactive with tpms, but I believe Volks (or Rays) still are not. I don't want to drill holes, don't trust bands or adapters, and don't believe in the pipe bomb, so this would be a deal breaker for me...

GS3 - can you share the specs of the VS-XXs ???

Great looking 08, way to represent us 08 owners!!

couple quick questions...
Any rubbing with the coilovers at that height?
Got a pic of closeup of the roof spoiler? Been looking to see which one looks best.
Also, what about a pic of the headlights and fogs at night?
thanks!
NO rubbing watsoever right now. I needed to shaved the front and rear fenders tho. I'm not running as agressive setup like flipside in here.

I'll take more pictures this weekend.. My car is currently very dirty and its raining.

tommy, like i stated in the other thread, you need to lower the car more
Henry when i ordered this wheels, i made sure they are TPMS compatible. So if anyone want to order any WORK wheels, make sure you mention TPMS compatibility before placing an order.

Yes Henry i just lowered my car 1/4 inch more all around. Right now i have no finger gap. Its barely tucking in.

For those of you who worry about TPMS and don't really care about the feature, do what I did: I put all the TPMS sensors in my spare tire in the trunk Easy, free, and no hassle!
