Default Popularity contest...VR or HP

Based purely on LOOKS.

Not price, weight or quality...it adds to many factors that I'm not completely concerned with. I don't race...

It's between the Volks SF Winning and the HP Design EVO's. Both are 19" staggered fit, 8.5 and 9.5. Both rims would be a light silver on the spokes. The Volks are 8 split spokes with a chrome lip and the HP Design are 10 split spokes with a brushed finished lip.

PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE! Just VOTE.


VR or HP...

from far away I guess either will do, but upclose the quality of the Volks will be the difference.

I'm with ohw, I like the VRs. I think the HPs look a little too flashy, and just a little "bling bling".

I actually just ordered the HP Evos for my 2004 roadster which is also on order. It seems to me that everyone on this and other forums is running on Volks. Not that it is a bad thing but if it is just looks you are concerned with the HP's look really good. Like the guy said a little earlier they are flashy which translates into people looking at you in your car. Is that such a bad thing?

Bdiddy03,

I personally think both rims are flashy. Those Volks have big chrome lips, that's a lot of flash. I think both rims are awesome, that's why I'm trying to get a vote, because I am having a really tough time deciding...

ps where did you purchase your HP's from?

your right, but it's close enough...if you can see the reflection of bolts, trim, spokes in the lip...i consider it a chromed look.

high polished is nice

i chose the volks challenge over the winning cause i wanted that boy racer look instead of all that bling. the sf winning is just not my bag.

I understand that both are pretty flashy I just kind of think the HP's are more original. I bought them from a local shop called Street Options. I got mine all chrome though because I'm still a big fan of the bling. I paid $1,400 for the wheels. If you want I can email you thier number.

Bdiddy03,

you got a good deal! if i go with the HP's i'm going with the satin look. i got a place that will sell them for $1170 to my door.

another question for you... it's very important actually. maybe you can answer this if you already have them installed. do they stick out a little farther than the stock wheels. i was considering staggered 8.5 and 9.5. according to this wheel calculator they will stick out 8 mil more in front and 17 mil more in back, with the rest of the rim in the wells.

is this true?
