Question Which rims to get for my 06 Silverstone..

Volk Gts in 19" or the Nismo 19's...

I dont have a TON of money to spend on rims and dont want to really spend a ton...I dont have brembos so not having a BBK will play into it look wise..

I say that because it seems everyone with the Volk Gts' has a BBK..

Yeah regarding BBK that's a form vs. function issue for me. I don't have any high-power yeilding modifications, so I can't justify adding more stopping power. However I am waiting for the weather to clear up to put on my PIAA super rozzas which are 19" and have a very wide-open design like the GT-S (split 5-spoke instead of solid 5, but lots of open space nonetheless). My solution is probably to paint the stock calipers silver just so it doesn't look as bad. I believe the stock 2006 brakes are slightly larger than previous year standard brakes so that should help the appearance to some extent.

The conclusion I came to was to get the wheels that I wanted, and deal with the small-ish looking brakes. If you are concerned with the appearance of the car when it is in motion, you're going to see the stock brakes clearly through the spinning wheels whether they are the LMGT4's or the thinner spoke GT-S, in my opinion. That being said, in my opinion the LMGT4's make the Z look like it is more performance/track oriented, and I believe they will be lighter weight than the GT-S if it's important to you. LMGT4's will probably also be less expensive than the GT-S if money is an issue.

how much is the average price for the GT-S'? Thanks for the great response's guys..

I do not have any additional motor power besides my pop charger so also dont see the need for a BBK..Would it look bad/be frowned upon to have nice Volk rims without a BBK?
