After waiting nearly 4 months my wheels are finally here.
If people wanna know what wheels they are, they are Trafficstar RTS and in 19's. Pics don't do them justice, they look absolutely amazing.

They look awesome Jose. Making me contemplate on whether I should even bother with the Volk 18's and go to 19 instead! |

very nice Jose !
What tyres did you end up choosing for them out of interest and what was the offset ? |

Am downgrading to 19"/18" Volks simply because I have always loved them. |

Volk's kick a$$, I have Volk progressive TE 19x8.5 F, 19x9.5 R. Forged monoblocks and they are magnificent rims, light as a feather, strong as an ox  Go the 19" Volk's!! |

Vinh, the GTC's in 18's would look kickarse but you need the right offsets to go with them.

I'm running a very very conservative set up, +41 all round. I was contemplating much lower offsets (looks nuts!) but it wasn't the exact style I was going for. It's on Yokohama tyres that I bought in Japan along with them as well (235s and 265s). |

Hope you've fitted some good anti theft wheel nuts Jose.
They look nice to crims too. |

I know mate, there is some security on them, however they'll be replaced ASAP with new ones (and the car is garaged every night in a security patrolled car park). |

What offsets do you have?
How wide?
Is the car lowered?
Do you have any trouble with rubbing?
I've been thinking about low offset 19's but I'm worried that if I do a staggered setup with a deep lip in the back, then they're going to rub. |

1. The offsets are very very conservative (+41mm), I'm going to put some spacers on it to beef it out a little
2. F:8.5", R:9.5"
3. Yes; F:2", R: 1.5"
4. A little bit of scrub but that's usually only at low speeds... barely noticeable.
All you need to do is run a little bit of camber and get the guards rolled... you'll be fine |

Jose, now you have to remove the wheels and spray the inner guard black so it doesn't look so dirty in there. |
