Default Best wheels for a LeMans Sunset?

I am having a hard time decide what the best wheels for my Lemans Sunset are, I am considering only buying Volks, does anyone have the GT-C's in Gold on a LeMans Sunset, if so can you post a pic...

I am buying a set this week so please help me decide!! IF you have a good combo on your Lemans Sunset Z post a pic...

not many combos look good on LS to me. The gold volk SF challenges look good to me but other than that, go with a nice polished wheel. IMO

see sig pic for polished iforged.

Thumbs up

I'm in the same position....Le Mans Sunset with a decision on rims. I'm swaying towards a mesh pattern (either ADR M-sports, HP Evos, or TSW Kyalami) in either dark silver/gunmetal or polished. I think the project Z car in Sport Compact Car looked sick with 19 inch Racing Hart C4's, but I can't afford those. if anyones got some pics with any of those combos plz post....thanx.

While I went to proformance auto shop and finally ordered everything...

I got:

= JWT Pop Charger
= Gold Volk GT-C 19x8.5 / 19x9.5
= Falken GB451 245 35 ZR19
= Falken GB451 275 30 ZR19
= Vizage Front Bumper
= Vizage Side SKirts
= Kaminari Rear Bumper
= Lambo door conversion kit (Vertical Door Inc)
= Tanabe GF210 Springs....

Total damage $6k without install....so far...I will post pics when the parts come in and they are installed.

I have an LS and I first put on a 20" Chrome wheel and got a lot of compliments... I have since sold those and now have a Gunmetal wheel with a machined lip... the GGames wheel... it looks great... but I will also be powercoating those black.

i never liked the lemans with gold wheels. its a bit overkill. i think lemans looks best with a polished silver wheel!

I haven't seen a LS with the gold GT-C's but I think the chrome polished lip will offset the combo enough where it will look good....i want to see a pic of a LS with gold GT-C's if anyone is running that setup.

Are those in the third chop the Volk GT-C in a custom color? Those would look awesome on a SS. I am interested.
