Default GT-C's or GT-7's

I have been waiting on a set of 19" GT-C's (gunmetal) for my Lemans Sunset. However, I just found out (if I move fast) that I can get my hands on a set of 19" GT-7's (off the first shipment to arrive Stateside) in gunmetal or mecury silver. And can have them installed this Saturday.

What do you guys think, GT-C's or GT-7's?

(attached is a pick of the GT-7, haven't found a pic of them installed yet, still too new)

GT-7 ! Those look real nice, less common. If you don't get them, can you hook me up?

GT-C's, hands down...GT-7's look funny, they dont look like they'd be a rim made by Volk IMO...dont like them at all.

The problem is the damn wait. I have been waiting on my GT-c's for over two months....And was just told my fronts will be here the middle of next month and the rears at the end of June! WTF is up with that?

Don't make compromises on what you want, or else you wont be happy in the end.

Actually I do like both wheels, and it is more than "just a couple" of months. It has already been 2 1/2 with two more to go. Also, the GT-7's come with a bigger lip ;-)

I like the GT-7s. I prefer the silver colors (flat or mercury) over gunmetal. It'd be nice to see more pics of LeMans Sunset Zs with different wheel setups for comparison.

gt-7's dont look race, te-37's look race...gt-7's and gt-c's look just as "blingy" as one another with the big polished lips...if u want a race look, go with te's or ce28's

Who has the GT-C's for sale the cheapest? Looking for a set of 19's. Also, what's the weight on them?

I agree, a more simple design to me looks "race" and a more complex design looks "bling" of course I am referring to the Japanese auto racing series, b/c here in the US, we see a lot of Porsches, Corvettes, etc.....in the road race series' that use 3 piece wheels and have the bolts around the outside, etc......so I guess either way, it just depends on how you look at it.

I definately think the GT-C looks less BLING than the 7 though
