Default GT-7 vs 5ZR

Have a set of Volk 19" x 8 1/2 and 9 1/2 23+ & 24+ offset GT-7 in Mercury silver on order.

I am now considering 20" Hyper 5ZR 20 x 8 1/2 25+ offset which is good. But the rear they have 20 x 10 w38+ offset. LOW Disc
Does the rear sound right ?

And which do you think would look better on a Daytona Blue Z ?

GT-7 have been posted a million times, so here is a shot of the Hyper 5ZR

I agree, the 5zigens look nice, the GT-7's look utilitarian.

Mommy! no one likes my wheels!
That's what's great about this forum, you can see the wheels on the cars in your color and everything and figure out what you like and don't like. Don't listen to these guys, they throw around words like utilitarian (WTF is that?), what do they know about style?
Seriously though everyone prefers one wheel to another wheel so in the end it's up to you but i've yet to see a wheel that looks bad on a Daytona Blue.

well back to the 5ZR's

No GT-7 in mercury silver in this container either.
Been over 5 months, I give up

Going with the 5ZR's

on the weight, the 19's weight the same in both.
The 20's are heavier, but that is to be expected

That's too bad about the Volks, I'm sure you'll like the 5ZR's just as much they are a great looking wheel as well.

The GT7 is utilitarian? No. Steelies are utilitarian.
GT7's are a little too styled for my tastes.

GO with the 5Zr they look way nicer. I would go with 19's because 20's would be too heavy. Although the 19's do not have the rivets like the 20's they r still nice.
