Default Volk GT-7 worthy of a 3rd Gen?



I haven't seen any 3rd Gens with these Volks. Are they more suited for Hondas? Please advise.

That's pretty decent there KG. Are you gonna roll these on your ride? Can't go wrong with Volk/Work wheels. Has this wheel been out for awhile? or new?

i wouldn't say it's suited for honda, but the wheels look very sporty (imho) so maybe that's why it's not accepted widely here

19s = no no. I don't think Rays/Volks make anything in the sport version over 19"

That and like others have said, too sporty.

I love the GT-7s but would not put it on a GS because like many I feel they
are too sporty for the car. I think it is a better wheel for the IS or the
G35/350Z...

The only Volk wheel I like for the 3GS is the SF-winning

I beg to disagree. Volks are sporty yes, but they are also high-end in the racing world and could be classy looking on a 3GS. They're not too... flashy if that's the right word. Besides, they're just classic and timeless, not to mention quality. I remember seeing a track 3GS with 37's (TE???) and I absolutely loved it. But then again, rims are more of a personal taste type mod so...

If I were to get aftermarket rims for my 3GS, I'd definitely consider the Volks as one of my top choices.

Actually, Rays offers the Volk TE37 in 20"s as well as the Progressive ME's and the GT-C's.
