i think just the size. i was able to pay extra for custom color even though it says bronze only.

Can I ask how much you payed for them. Those are perfect sizes and offsets in my opinion.

ya if you look at the sizing chart on the volk racing site under "competition" and look to the right, it says honda s2000 ap1/ap2 so pretty much this size was for the s2k. (Here's a link)

Sure.. I ordered them through a sponsor on this forum. With custom color, hub rings included, and $280 dollar center caps and all 4 wheels it was $3,530. Shipping/handling was free and there was no tax.

Be sure to take pictures once you get them in.

With 8.5/10 wheels ideally I'd run 245/275 tires but its hard finding 17 inch tires in a 275 width.

I'm envious but that's a lot to spend on some wheels!

Damn I'm loving those wheel sizes. Hell I'd do a roll on the front / rear and see if you can squeek on some 255's/275's or something

TBH: I've heard a lot of mixed things regarding the V3's, from my local track crowd. A number of my locals who track often have said the KW's valve/spring/dampeening rates seemed all kinds of backwards and weren't impressed. I ended up going with PSS9's, as they guaranteed I wasn't going to have any complaints with them (and I sure as hell don't). Just tossing that out

ok really. i might look into something bigger like that. i was going with star specs. someone here told me they might run a little bigger?

it is a lot of money, i am barely going to afford all of this stuff, but its what i choose to do i guess. all for the love of cars..

lol

oh and def going to post pics on the Official Volk Racing Wheel Thread!

the beefier the better for me! i might as well go all out.. ill keep looking at my tire options then, since im going to be waiting a few more months for these things to come in

and thanks for the suggestion on those PSS9's. ill keep those in mind too. won't be ordering coilovers for a week or two.

7 year old thread you are probably better off posting as new thread asking then bumping an old inactive thread.
