I need some of your opinions

I have someone local willing to fair trade me rims.

My rims, Kenstyle locksmice
His rims, Volk GTC. what do you guys think?
They are both 19" with agressive size and offsets.

Oh and another question, do any of you guys know if these are 2pc or 3pc and do they come apart? (face comes apart from barrel/lip)

Kenstyle locksmice



Volk GTC

between the two, I like the Kenstyle more. I like 5-spoke wheels, but I am not feeling the GTCs though.

Those are probably the most hideous looking Volks.
A friend had those, fully polished... yuck.

UA..I'd stick with what you've got. They're definitely better looking than the Volks-I'm just not feelin' them at all. Believe it or not, the Volks just look a lot cheaper than you current wheels. So, I like yours much better.

I voted for the GT-C but the other wheel looks great also.

I really prefer Volk GT-S 19" with Gold centers on WDP.

They look pretty decent on a G but the TL can't pull them off IMO

They also look great on a Skyline like in the Movie Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift.

I still LOVE the Volk GT-S.

I was SO close to buying GT-C wheels in June 07 for my 07 TL-S. I ended up buying 18" Volk RE-30's from Tirerack, I had them for a month and sold them. I should have bought the GT-S 19" for the same price. But Tirerack had the 18" RE-30's in stock. The GT-S would of had a LONG wait from Japan. I paid $3,999.58 for the RE-30 package and sold for $2,600 a month later. OUCH.
