Default Volk Sf Winnings Confused???

Hi all planning on getting 20" SF winnings, I already have Volk GT-S and really don't want an anodized finish on the rims, as in the UK they dont last and spoil quickly.

After reading through the Volk brochure it says that the finish on the Winnings are stainless steel, but the rim looks exactly the same as my GT-S which were anodised. I remember Adam at Z1 saying the Winnings are anodised, but if this is the case why does the Volk brochure say different.

+1, unless that has changed recently. If that's the case, I would change out my 19" SF Winnings in a heartbeat.

Just to update, They said its the latest brochure well 2007, but the sellers say that what you classify as anodised and what we classify as anodised in the tUK are two different things... aluminium is what ours is apparently... not sure whats to believe now

I've got the brochure and there are no 20" SF Winnings and no mention of stainless steel. Someone's spinning you a line, mate.

haha, notice how most of the posters here are SF-Winnings owners jumping in at the possibility of the 20" winnings haha. Maybe it's something rays should consider :P

S/S would be too heavy anyway! Buy the 19" SFs and keep your current wheels for winter use
