Mike -

A couple of things you should consider:

1. Post your subsequent pics in the Tires, Wheels, and Brakes forum - there's a long-running thread called <Show me your Wheels!> that would be a perfect place for you to show off your new acquisitions.

2. Check out the Pepper White Peerage, if you haven't done so. Always great to have more of our PW friends in the group!

Cool wheels!

Dood....nice wheels....welcome to the unofficial Volk Owner's Club...I have the LE37 which is exactly the same but with machined lip and anthracite painted center. I love them! (can see my gallery for reference if you're curious)

Is the hub on an R56 the same diameter as R53 (56.1mm)? If so, I have some new aluminum hub-centric rings if you need them.

In terms of weight, I believe they are right around 15 lbs.

Just curious - can the lettering/logos on the spokes be removed? Are they decals? Screen prints? The thing I dislike about the Volks is all of the big-a$$ lettering cluttering them up.

i think those are very thin decals like the SSR decals. except SSR
let you put them on yourselves.

You can just buy the decals & save a lot of money then.

Nice. Quite "big brake friendly" by outward appearance too...
