Wheels are 20x8.5 and 20x10. Not sure about the offsets. I looked on the wheels themselves and can't make out what is it. The way their coated you can't read it.

I've actually seen a Burgandy GS430 pretty slammed and a Black SC lowered with chrome rims and blacked out emblems all at Peacock and ST. lucie west by 95..

personally i wouldnt run them. i have a set in red and they make for a nice paperweight on the table now. volk also discontinued them so if you lose one or two you cant get spares really. getting a new key lock is a PITA as well.

volk recommends you to use them only 10-12 times maximum. after that the threads might weaken. people that also track their cars have complained that the aluminum softens a lot at track temps.

i used them for about a year for daily driving and drifting, and torqued them down probably 50+ times over that time without issues but i would still periodically retorque them to make sure.

they do look nice though

Does the burgundy one have miami heat plates? I've seen that one if so. I believe the back sc and I have crossed paths. He's a member on here.

Damn didn't know all that. The other day I was kinda wondering how hard it would be to get replacements without getting a new set.
