I understand wanting your name on the wheel but why not just imprint it onto the wheel itself? Or maybe just include the stickers with the wheel and give the buyer the option? Dont get me wrong though, the wheels still look amazing and that would not deter me from buying them.

I hear ya man Not all of the Volks have stickers on them like that. I agree it should be left up to the customer. Not my call

stock diameter I think 19s are perfect. Personal opinion I suppose

Comparable, probably what I'm going with...

Tenzo Racing DC-6 Version 1


OR

Tenzo Racing DC-6 Version 2


I like version 2 with the chrome lip myself... But version 1 comes in solids.

They do, but would have to be special ordered. They are also outrageously expensive. I would recommend you stay with 19s as they look better IMO and the price difference between the 19s and 20s is over $3000... PM me for more information

Here is a set of 20x9.5 +25 and 20x10.5 +25 TE37s on our GTR (sorry for the large picture):



As you can see, not much concavity. It uses an entirely different spoke design (and no stickers! ). For a 20" option, I would recommend the new Volk G2.

its possible... you just need to make sure the right tpms is in the right location..when my rims were put in, there were no light problems.. so pretty much if they take off the right passenger stock rim, that tpms must go into the NEW right passenger rim.. make sense? The hard part now will be seeing which tpms goes into the right place

Tony that's a good point that I did not think of. Your tires are non directional meaning the left can go on right side and vise versa. When they arrived to Altered I don't believe they were labeled so it is very possible they could have been put on the "wrong" side (no fault of Altered as the tires are not directional)

So do you have them try to swap the tires? Just curious as I'll be doing the same.

Swapping the tires should fix the issue assuming the sensors were put in the correct wheels to begin with. If they were not it was our mistake and the sensors will have to be moved We are usually pretty good at this stuff and don't run into this type of issue very often. I'll put little stickers on yours so you don't have the same issue.
