Are you happy with the fitment?...debating on getting it from the same guy since its local. Is it carbon fiber overlays on the fiberglass or full on CF. Thanks!

I'm happy with the fitment but it's not 100%. No overlays at all I believe full Cf on fiberglass. Go for it man its makes the car look so much better. Please post pics when you install yours

Wow! Nicely done

I've looked at the Volks before mainly b/c they're lightweight, but wasnt sure about the styling for our cars. You've made it work perfectly. Do you have the specs on weight?

What's involved with the stud conversion? I didn't see it on Turner's website and thinking of maybe doing it too if they have them in red.

Cool, thanks!

Stupid question, how does this work? You put the stud conversion in and then use red nuts to mount the wheels?

Glad you pulled the trigger on the CF front lip. My car is on stock sports suspension and I even scrape the bottom from time to time. Be careful man.

Looks aggressive!! What's next? lol.

I too would like to know this...from common logic, it seems like that's how it's supposed to work. If you do ever find out, please post it Tony.

That's it. Simple as that. The purpose really is to make wheel changes easier (track).
