I need coilovers now lol! I love the wheels but they are a bitch to clean. I am getting my sideskirts and rear valances painted this week... will have more pics soon.

They are Volk GTU's 18x8 and 18x9 by the way.

Cleaning...I bet..


Try some castrol superclean on a spot and see if that does not fuk with the gold...if not..that is THE cleaner.


I have nothing about those rims to say in a negative state. Match the car nicely. I tend to prefer silver/black myself.

Damn, what shop did you buy those from? $1,600 is pretty cheap. Also, what offset did you go with?

you're car is f'kin sexy. The color of the wheels compliment the body nicely, but they look a little big. :bowdown: on the overall tho, it looks great!

car is ok.

rims are ok.

only problem i see, is that they are too big for that car and i dont necessarily like the color matching, but thats just my preferences here. looks ok if thats your style, its good with me. :)

Looks like a monster truck on those Dubs.

17's should be the max on an s13 IMO.

18's actually look good on an s14...but how they perform is a diff story.


The wheels are nice tho...just shoulda got smaller.

I think 18's work on an S13...it would look a lot better if you lowered it more, get rid of that gap(especially in the front), and rake it a little. It just looks like a monster truck because its so high, imo. Very sexy car and sexy wheels though, nice job!

The car needs that antenna to pick up R/C signals.:p

Looks good! I'm glad the GTU is back in production. I just wish they made it in 16" and 17" again. I'm always a fan of a nicely done s13 coupe, nice work!

Very nice! Sounds like you're on the right track w/ coilovers
and sideskirts next. Keep up the good work! send us
pics when your all done!


Oh and ya.. That antenna needs to go. :D

What's the ET (offset) on the GTUs? Seem pretty good, although you could do with 2 more inches of lip (at least 1 more " please!)
You DEFINITELY need suspension!! :p 2.5" drop up front and another 1" in the rear. Will look a LOT better once you do that and get your skirts/valance on.
Otherwise... nice ride!
