IMO SF's barrels are too busy on the side and the spokes don't have the solid "strength" design of the GTS.

But dont mind me I'm biased.
i disagree 100%, i love the sf challenges. they have a little flair to the otherwise boring 5 spoke look like the GTS. i think the GT-S is a very average look for a volk, they were popular for a bit cause they were new. notice how many people are getting rid of them now? though the challenge has been out for years now, they still have that wow factor to me and if you have bbk, they are by far the best volks to show them off. love the look alvin!

Everything is subjective. I have to say I did loose some sleep btw the SFs and GTS when I was deciding on my wheels. I leaned towards the GTS obviously, but the SFs are still classics. Plus I was just giving Alvin a hard time with his new wheels because he'll be in something else next month


BTW Alvin, your car always looks good no matter how many times you "*****" it out

Looks good. Maybe it's the pics, but I think the SFCs look a lot better on your car than the GTSs did. I'd rank the nismos 2nd.

I thought you were short $$$ because you're a student?

Your car is awesome... but you could have save a bunch of $$$ by now and maybe purchased some other stuff?

I want cross drilled rotors! Nice!

I was strapped for cash really but fortunately been working more hours at work - while I still can before school starts again in the fall

I do agree with this point, the SFC made the brembos look way bigger than they really are - especially nice since they're all I can afford unlike some of you ballers with 6p/4p setups out there!

I work a lot to afford things for the car (not to mention the car payments) but it's worth - it's my only hobby. Right now I'm saving money for a wedding and after college it'll be saving for a home.

Thanks bro! You're the only one that noticed!

As for the photography questions I will refer them to my friend Vince - he built the rig that took the rolling shots so all the credits for the photos go to him. I have too much to learn from him still

Looks good. Yeah, it does make brakes look bigger.

Quick question..is your car an automatic? I don't see that you are big in performance upgrades or ever posting interior pics. just wondering. With all the money you are putting in the exterior upgrades, you would have one badass turbo Z.
