Both look good, but I'd go with the GT-M.

Either one is great.

But I prefer the Varianza - I like split spokes.

Is $2485 + shipping a good price for the Volks?

Rims are such a pita imo, such a big investment, atleast for me and you can only pick 1 haha.

The volks are probably lighter too right?

Well as far as I know they are both 2pc wheels. So I think there is not that much difference in weight. I think.

They're both nice...I would say that you can't go wrong either way.

If you are going for exclusivity...go for the Works...they are less common, and you could get them for cheaper than the $2,485 you would pay for the Volks, I believe.

But, considering I already have a set of the Work Varianza T1S's on order, I would say go with the Volks! I want to be as unique as possible!

Keep us updated, Michael!

Not sure yet. 19 or 20 for Work, Volk GT-M 19 cause there is no bigger option. Not sure yet on the offset.

Where did you order your wheels from? I've been talking to RAVspec in N.Y. What size and offset did you get?

The WORK wheel ! Who cares how many votes. Thats an ugly VOLK wheel. If you get VOLKS

get GT-S, GT-C, GT-V. But I would get the WORK Varianza..........

I decided to go with the WORK's since that's what I wanted in the 1st and I'm getting a sweet deal. Now the ? is 19"s or 20"s.

Yeah I've been talking to him too. Best price I found. What tire size are you planning on using? Do you have a AT or 6spd.

I have already purchased 235/35/19 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 (BEST tire on the market, IMHO) for the Works. I REALLY wanted the 245/35/19's, but the price difference is $100/tire for the 245's. As for your second question (AT or 6MT), look at my sig!

This may be the wrong place to ask, but is anybody running Mugen NR's 18x8 +50mm in black metal coat ?
I've never seen these wheels on one of our cars.

where did you get them? So far this is the cheapest place I've seen for tires http://www.onlinetires.com/default.aspx.

Actually, that place has pretty good prices. Tire Rack has them for $216/each, and onlinetires.com has them for $214/each.

I got mine for $212/each! But, the kicker is, I went and picked them up myself, and paid $848 out the door. There was no tax, or shipping charge, like you will have to pay with the 2 above mentioned places. So I made out with a great deal.

All I did was go on to craigslist.com to find tire wholesalers, and I negotiated a little bit. Try it!
