You can get the 19x11 which is available in gunmetal and that offset is 63mm for the turbo. http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/v...0-p-34360.html

no sorry. If you like concave, get the new IForged 1 piece TE10. I just got some for my Audi A3. Concave looking, very light and strong, same price as Volks. Here they are on a GT3

I think you should paint the Volks yellow. It's tough thing with a yellow car. Black rims disappear IMO, and too much yellow may get a big gaudy. If you car was white I would say definitely go with white volks....

stopped by the paint shop to see how the car was doing. will get it tomorrow. went UBER cheap on the stripe to see how it would be. Instead of dismounting the tires sending them out to a wheel company blah blah, we had a pinstriper do it. Looks cool. Will see how it looks once the car is put back together. Cost $40
