Yes, I know some of you may be sick of these "which rim" topics but in all honesties it really helps those of us in a jam. Not to mention I think we've all been there with 2 wheels you like and need a neutral opinion of the two. So what do you say

Volk GTS 19x8.5 +34 Titanium Grey (flat)

5Zigen Hyper 5ZR 19x8.5 +38SMB (super metallic black or black chrome)

I tried to find some good pictures other than what the dealers post, these seem to look different depending on the site so I did a few google searches. I know the SMB finish is a little blingy but it's such a clean wheel it may help to make it work. Keep in mind I have a Precision Grey car with limo tint and a Stillen front fascia going on. Thanks much.

I guess it's not going to be as split on here as I thought.... black chrome to bling bling?

What do you think of the scallops in the dish on the Volks, the gaps between the outer rim and the area where it bolts up? At first glance I didn't notice this.

The SMB finish (super metallic black), believe it or not all those pictures are the same finish. Tried my best to get real world pictures and not the pop window images, i.e. wheelsNext....

VOLKS....end of thread. Anyway, those rims on the g35 looks like it has a +19 rear and +28 front offsets. Ever thought of going lower with your offsets? If you do change your mind and decide to go with a lower offset, post up some pics man. Also how are you getting it at a discounted price? I wonder if theres a NICO sponsor that is an authorized dealer of Volk and can get us some good deals???

It seems like a +34 with a 245 tire is pushing the safe limit without rolling the fenders. If I was set on rolling I'd have no problem going with a +25 or something but I don't trust anyone to handle my car for that kind of body work.

Volks, hands down. As far as color, I like the silver, it'll go well with the precision gray.

You know.... once the eibachs settle and a light oversize tire (245/40-19), the gaps are real tight around the fender. But.... if you want coilovers
