Description

Finally got my Volk RE30 Clubsport II painted (satin bronze) and installed. Went with 17x8 et45 with 5mm spacers up front and 8mm rears. Michelin PSS in 245/40 on VWR lowering springs. No rubbing at all.
Sorry for the dirty car and poor pics. I'll update once I get everything cleaned up.
The wheels alone are 15 lbs., so about 10 lbs. lighter than stock. Even though the tires aren't "broken in" the grip is tremendous. I have them on my BMW and loved them. The car feels more nimble now with less rotational mass too. I should be under 3,000lbs. with the drop from the wheels and I added a Remus exhaust, which saved a few pounds too.
