very nice, i do like them but agree that your last rims had a slightly better look with your car.

so what kind of performance difference do you feel with the 19" vs. having 18" with the last rims? having put 17" winter rims and tires on has made me re think putting 19" rims and to stick with 18" but go wider and more aggresive on the offset. still not sure as from a look stand point those 19's sure do look great. i like how the car drives and launches on the 17" rims on my car now.

thanks for the pics!

looks very good!

how much do these wheels weigh and how much did the MRR's weigh?

I think they are around 16-17 lbs each. Tory has more info on them. I know the tires are heavier than the wheels.

^That doesn't sound right - they're more like 21-22 lbs each. The only wheels that Volk makes in the "1 pound per inch" category are the CE28's. After that, the next lightest are the TE's and RE's.

Holy Jesus that looks HOT.

I love love love mesh rims.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the RE's are lighter than the CE's.

Yeah these sf winnings are 20 and 21lbs. My sumitomo's are 25.7lbs so I am right at 50lbs per wheel give or take a pound

thanks - djkhanvict and AsianGirl007

I like those!

did you save a total of 7lbs per wheel because you got lighter tires as well??
or are these wheels really 7lbs less than the MRR's

The rims are 7lbs less than stock. Probably 12lbs lighter than the MRR's.

Pretty much every decent quality 275/30/19 is going to be from 25-27lbs. There are a few that were 29. Tire rack has specs for almost all tires you would purchase.

Yeah the CE28s are lighter.

The CE28 weight in at 16lbs in a 18X8 and 17.0lbs in a 18X9.5. The RE30 are half a pound more than the CE28. The TE37 are another pound heavier. If forgot the SF and GT series are 2 piece and that means they have to have flanges as part of the wheel. This in conjunction with the fasteners brings the bling and the weight increase. Either ways the tires outweight the wheels and I don't think you can find a lighter tire in that size either.
