The GR5 seems more of a luxury type wheel yet keeping the aggresive lip and showing more of the caliper.

The SF winnings look sweet, but since it´s a mesh wheel it looks smaller than a 5 spoke. But it gives the car a more racy kind of look.

Just decide if you like mesh or 5 bars. Those are one of the best mesh wheels, and the Maido's are one of the best 5 spoke.

If it was me I'd pick the Maidos, because they'll be hella easier to clean!

Looks like VOLKS are 5 to 1.... I guess the SF winnings will get more looks than the 5 spoke.

he he he ..... well.... for some reason the Maido are more expensive than the Volks. Why would that be then ? Anyhow..... How do you like the potenzas on your car? how many kilometers or miles you got on them?

Let's see some pictures of the Maido! Those Volks are nice, but with all the spokes, and the rivets, it gets kind of busy... I tend to think that the Z is a fairly sleek and simple flowing design, and needs less complicated wheels to truly match, hence why TE37s look so good, but... meh, what do I know.

Bvlgari jewelry on a $500 hooker looks cheap (hmmm, well most times) .... but a simple string of Mikimoto pearls and small loop earrings on a nice woman look great... IMHO only
