PIC's now posted.

Finally got my GB Volk LE37t's on Monday. For some reason, I thought they would have a bigger rear lip..but they don't.

Here's what I got:

19" 8.5 Front +30mm, 235/35/19 GS-D3's
19" 9.5 Rear +30mm, 275/30/19 GS-D3's

Sweet - I love those wheels, so I've been wondering how they'd look. Can't wait for pics

Also, are you using spacers?

[Yaajer]

No spacers. Straight up perfect fitment from what I can tell. I'll run home and takes pics during lunch.

Congrats! Does this mean Danny will be getting his soon as well?

[Yaajer]

D, I couldn't not wait for the silver LE's to come in. We have a damn short summer in Wiscy, so I asked Dave to substitute the Gloss Blacks instead since they were in stock. 2 hours guys and Pic's will be up.

[Yaajer]

Here they are guys. Very Big! Sorry.

[diesel007]

Those look awesome! I love how they concave in the center.

[tl_boy]

Congrats man!

Personally not feeling these though.

[Yaajer]

I can't wait to see HRC's LE's. I still like the silver LE's more, but I just couldn't wait for them. The GB's look a bit more "ricey", but I still love them. The car looks very different now. Amazing how a set of wheels can transform a car.

[tl_boy]

At least they're light. You should experience an improvement in cornering. What are they, 18 pounds?

Do!! Dude, so orry again for the delay. Did yours come with the stickers or no? The fitment looks great and Im glad to see the face in the rear matches the front concave!!

How do they *feel*? How does the car steer and go over bumps? How does she ride? Details man!!!!

I can't wait either! I agree that the silver ones will look alot different than the GB's. I think with silver, it will look bigger and the concave will be easier to see. All black rims are harder to get a good look at.

Oh Do, I forgot to tell you...

















DROP THE BISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So glad you are no settling on black. Anything other then silver will look horrid on Arctic. SG pulls it off nicely.

[fueledbymetal]

Right on, those look sweet!

3 questions though:

1. What's the bolt pattern on them? 5-120? I was looking around online & coudln't find any with that pattern.

2. Do you need hubcentric rings or any other mounting hardware, or did they bolt up with the stock lug nuts OK?

3. Have you had any rubbing or anything?

ENJOY!

Werd! Nothing but silver for me, I don't even want gun metal! Great minds think alike...

Danny,

I decided against the sticker decals.

Suspension: The ride comfort is actually better than I thought it would be. Compared to my e46 coupe with 18" AR1's, the comfort going over bumps is much much better. I still would try to miss pot holes and slow down for uneven train tracks though.

Steering: The feedback while steering is definately "heavier." I guess you could say there's more feedback from the road via the bigger tires. Definately a Plus on my scorecard. Cornering is awesome!

Acceleration: To me the car seems slower from an acceleration stand point. Even though the wheels are a few pounds lighter, the tires (with air) really make up the difference and the rotational mass seems greater. The 275 rears don't help much for acceleration either. Cruising is super nice though..very very solid! I would stick with 18" if your after speed!

Looks: Very solid fitment. I wish the lips where bigger in the rear, but fittment is perfect.

1. Yea, 5x120. They are not listed. These rims are special order.

2. No rings are needed, these are hubcentric rims.

3. No rubbing at all bro. (whoops, check his reply below, sorry!)

Perfect fittment from HRC's advice! Stock BMW bolts! I actually need to purchase a bolt lock today.

Yeah, you're right Danny, the GB would look strange on Arctic. The look great when rolling though. I had my wife drive them while I followed and gawked for a couple miles...just beautiful i tell ya.

The only rubbing issue I had was when yesterday when I hit a decent bump. I had 3 people in my car and 3 golf bags in the trunk. Otherwise, I have had zero rubbing issues, even while making U turns.

Hurry up and get your shit Danny. Can't wait to see your Silvers baby!

[HRC]

Yea, these rims do not have FAT lips! Rear is 2.5 and front is 1.5. I don't mind, as long as the face is concave and not flat, it's all
