ADVICE NEEDED-Should I dump my wheels and get these volks?

So I've had my current wheels for like 2 years, I'm bored and can get a good deal on these volk GT-V's, what do you guys think? The other option is to just re-finish my wheels and powdercoat them black

new wheels:





OLD and current wheels:

edit.. the more I look at my current wheels, the more I think I'll miss em... maybe I'll powdercoat the spokes, refinish the lip...and call it a day.

I like the current ones better...

Im just not to crazy about the lip on your current one's. There inst really any other chrome to complitment the lip, maybe if it was finished in the same colour as the car it would fit better.

Hot car either way...

Volks for sure. If your current ones were Racing Harts then it'd be more of a tossup. But since theyre RH's i'd go w/the volks for sure.

Volks have forged outers and made in japan vs. RH's which are full cast and made in taiwan.

Although not forged, the casting is EXCELLENT. You have no idea how many potholes I've hit. Been solid since.
