Thanks for the replies, everyone. After watching the video and reading the article on the TE37's, it looks like I'll be saving my pennies for a set.
Yeah, but the gurlies love the obnoxiously oversized 20" rims the previous owner put on my Z. What do the hell do they know?
Oh boy, a snarky jerk with nothing better to do than make 39k posts on a Z forum. Will try to be more entertaining next time!
gurlies love em on my Z haha
Oh boy a Volk wheels thread. Will try to contain my excitement!

The GTS is a good wheel. It's heavy for a Volk wheel but for a "flashy" wheel, it's not so bad.
It has a forged barrel and a cast center. So the spokes are cast but the barrel is going to absorb all of the bumps. So it will be a strong wheel.
If you want a good looking, strong wheel, get the GTS. If you want a lightweight wheel, forget the GTS and look to a monoblock (1 piece forged).

A lot of good information in here for the OP. As a GTS owner I couldn't be happier. The GTS is a strong wheel for sure. I feel as though its one of the best looking wheels in the Volk lineup in my opinion The rear wheel (19x10.5) weighs 27.6 pounds. The fronts obviously weigh less. If you are going to be involved in tracking your car or want a ligher wheel you should look into te37's

as with any "luxury" good, high end watches, designer hand bags, etc etc.
you are definitely going to get a good quality product....but a lot of the price comes from the brand name obviously.
you get diminishing returns for your money as you go higher and higher up the totem pole
