Default Which Wheels to Buy? Your opinion requested...

All of these are 19's. All decent widths/offsets, some better or more aggressive than others. My car is Diamond Graphite.
Let's just leave cost out of the discussion. Just purely based on aesthetics, uniqueness, women's undergarment melting factor, etc...

Please Vote AND Post your Comments
(You can vote on more than 1 choice)



Rays Gram Light 57S Pro. Looks like RMC spokes and those titanium finish lips. Would match my Invidia G200 burnt Ti exhaust tips so nicely.



Junction Produce Scara in black



Work VS-KF in burning black



Or keep the Volk GT-V in gunmetal that I literally just got?

Get the works. the rays are nice, but you never wash your car enough for that.

The Gramlights or the Volk.

The other two are ugly IMO. The work looks like some mustang rims or something and the other junction ones looks cheap. There are many designs on ebay that has the same wheel design. The gramlights and the volk look more expensive since you will be dishing out the money anyways.

I like the Volks as well, I am torn between those and the Rays, the works are cool but not my taste. The black ones are hideous

There's no way I'll be keeping these wheels for anything remotely close to that.

-Rays are sick, but for daily driving, I don't think it'll work, you never wash your car yo, plus, summer's almost over, these are summer rims
-JP Scara's would be dope if they were in a brushed finish, the step up like is super bad though. There's a supra in tacoma with the same black on chrome lip
-The Works are super fresh. those are my first choice, perfect color, style, and size, even better, I don't think I've seen them here in WA!!
-Your current volks suck. give them to me

i voted for the 57s they are sweet looking but you already have a set thats really nice too. i would keep the set you already bought b/c you will lose money and thats never good. if i didnt havea set and wanted to buy one out of the choices you gave it would be the 57s

3.) SSR D5R 19's in Light Grey
4.) Volk LE37t 19's in Gunmetal
5.) ADR M-Sport 19's in Hyperblack (slapped myself for being a turd and sold immediately w/o ever mounting tires)

dude, its simple:

Rare is one thing. Looks is another. Just because one set of wheels are rare doesnt mean they look better. you have nice rims already (not to mention the best lookin out of the choices you gave). spend the money on something else.

Keep the GT-V's.

I would say the Rays Gram Light 57S Pro. I'm a big fan of 6 spoke wheels. That is the main reason why I haven't changed my stock 18's yet. Someday I will, maybe after the winter season.
