Thanks. Too bad I can't get the F. Maybe in a year or two.

Ordered a set of Progressiv ME's about two weeks ago. Was just notified that Volk has discontinued this style and will not make any more! I guess the search continues...

Whoa! News to me. I may make money on my wheel purchase since they are so popular with the 2IS crew!

Vik I would love to check out your car sometime. I live in NW Burbs and just picked up an '08 IS350. I planned on getting the HKS Hiper but would like to hear it in person first.

No prob! Check out the Chicago section for more info on meets and things. Unfortunately, I just put my car in winter mode (supposed to snow tomorrow), so the car is raised and back with stock wheels with Blizzaks. I have the Lexus HKS exhaust which they do not sell anymore. It is basically a quieter version of the F-Sport Exhaust. The HiPower exhaust is pretty loud and the tips are pretty big. Let me know if you wanna hear the exhaust sometime. I am in the NW burbs a lot.

Just took the wheels off for winter. Snapped a pic with them on:

I've got the Hi-Power on mine, but it's a 250 instead. Vik's heard it before
Look for me around any future meets and you can see/hear it.

I hope to be contributing to this thread soon

We're in the process of revamping the wheel thread - the goal is to have a master "Index" of wheel threads so people can pick and choose which wheels they want to look at, instead of having one GINORMOUS, unorganized pile of pics and no information. The purpose of these threads is to 1) allow you to show off your ride, of course, and 2) to provide wheel shoppers with the info they need to nail down their fitment. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE provide specs when you post your Volk setups.

I'll start off:

Volk Progressiv ME in Mercury Silver
19x8.5 +29, 19x10.5 +43
20.8 lbs front, 22 lbs rear
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 235/35/19, 265/35/19.


Do anyone knows what brand is the front lip of the white IS ?
