Default Volk Racing SF Challenges vs. Racing Hart J8 pro

I can't decide which ones to get. I want either the SF challenges 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 Gold/Polished Lip, or the J8s 19x9.0 & 19x10.5 Gold/Polished Lip.

I can't seem to find any. Even though Volk has a great rep and I've heard better quality, I'm leaning a bit more towards the J8s though just to be different....

Anybody have/seen any pics of either of these on a redline?!

here is a pic of a guy that was selling his volk wheels. I was looking at these wheels also, but went with the RH wheels since the RH wheels have a bigger lip.

the volk being forged should be lighter, = better acceleration, braking, handling.

also, your volk setup is stagerred 1", vs' 1.5" for the rh, meaning the RH setup should understeer more.

also, the j8 has an odd spoke/barrel connection, where the spokes curve in right at the end of the spoke, which in effect makes the lip look larger. kind of seems like a bad way to fuse the spokes/barrel to me. the j8 does look great however.

i always felt the imprinted writing that goes circularly on the sf-challenge was sort of cheesy.

just my 0.02, both great wheels tho.
