Default Got my new Volks on.....

I'm pretty excited. Finally got my 17x7.5" Volk SE37Ks on my car after the car has been in the body shop for 41 days. Some pics.....









What do you think? Opinions/comments welcome.

i think you should do away with the gutter guard. looks tacky IMO

volks are the shiznittlebamsnipsnap tho

how come they dont say volk? my boys black ones do. did you just buy em without, or can we just not see the volkracing cus the angel of pics?

Nice car and nice times! Your car is really clean w/ that red and white theme to it. IMO your car would look alot better w/ the rear windshield wiper removed. I did mine and just got a pastic plug from lowes, then used some Hondabond to secure it in the whole. I believe it's a 1/2 plug. Though you may wish to try a 5/8 which will fit snugger if the hole is the same size as a 3rd gen Teg's.

mmmmm...yummy...i don't dig the chicken wire grill, but i love the mud guards, they look clean and do the job of keeping too much crap flying all over the sides of your car

I would lose the mudguards. But the car looks real clean!

Thanks everyone for your input. Yeah....I thought about bronze but in the end I ended up wanting the silver. That and my wife hated the bronze. And although it is my car......you know . I'm not big into the "JDM" look either. It used to be if you had chrome you were cool, then it was polished wheels, then silver painted wheels, now it's bronze, black, and dark colored wheels. I'm still stuck liking the silver .

The mesh I like. I realize it's not everyone's thing. It's an aluminum mesh and looks good in person. Pictures make it look a little "cheap" to say the least. I have thought about painting the mesh black though.

The mud guards are staying. They serve a purpose, especially here in Oregon. They keep my paint around the rear wheels looking new instead of a rock chipped, muddy mess. Function over form in this case.

If you are interested in checking out my car (engine bay and such) check http://www.g2ic.com/members/fulllist.html. I have a detailed profile there. Thanks again for all of the comments/compliments.

super cool looking car. I had a hatch, but I just picked up a 92 GS and just found http://www.g2ic.com. I think I saw your car yesterday. I would paint the mesh black.
