Default Im So torn between these Two..Help me choose!

Alright Guys, Im in the market for wheels again and Im soo Torn between the Volk LE37s and SF Challanges. Both IN Gloss Black. I mean I love the Concave and look of the LEs but it doesnt have a Polish Lip and the lip is not the big either. The challanges on the other hand, Dont have that much of the lip either unless you have offsets like +11s or something like that. Help me out guys. By the way, I have a SB Z.

Post some pictures that might help me choose please.



Or

I Think you should just buy 10 sets of Exel brand wheels (and save $500 in the process). That way you can change your mind as often as you like.



(Non sarcastic like.. I like the first Volks the best.)

+1 on the Gloss Black LE's, those mama's are HOT. Challenges are slowly getting played out. LE's will always be classic.

Do you track the car? The reason I'm asking is because the LE's are lighter and in such a case would be a better/smarter choice.

Imo, I'd get the Challenges. I've always liked the design inside the lip of the wheel. Oh yeah and I'd say get the +11s

My first set of wheels were the LE-37's in GM then i sold those and bought the SF-Challenges in DB, very satisfied with the SF's but from time to time i want back the LE-37's its a hard choice, you will be happy either way you go...

i was in the same dilemma and i ended up with the sf-challenges. The le37 gives it more of a racer look. The sf-challenge give it more of a classy look. But yeah...you can't go wrong with either one.

Go with challenges... You wont be disappointed... Things you do need to know too:

Cleaning... The SF Challenge's are NOT as easy to clean compared to the LE37's... The 2-Piece constructions makes it hard to get into the little nooks... However, when they are clean - Oh man I cant even begin to tell you how fun it is waiting for the light to change ... Either wheel you decide on going I dont think you could go wrong... Ill leave it at that...

I was in the same boat as you awhile back, but with gunmetal.

Went for the big-and-polished lips via the SF's instead.

I love the LE's but they're more track-style, and I would never have the heart to track 19" LE's anyway. Wheels and tires would be too precious. I'll get other, smaller wheels for that.

+23 plenty of lip for me.
