Go with the GT7, if you end up not fully satisfied you could always sell them. That is a lot of cash to spend on other mods.

from a financial standpoint, makes more sense to get the volks.

from a functional standpoint, i'd say either or (both are quality wheels), though iirc multi-piece SSR's are not TPMS compatible due to their step-lip barrel design.

from an aesthetic standpoint, the SSR's, hands down.

just depends on what you place a heavier emphasis on.

I am obviously a fan of Volks considering I currently have a set. I do however really like the SSRs you are considering and based on the two photos that show the difference there is no choice but to get the SSRs. If you do not get them you will regret it and you will not be stuck but you may not be able to get your money out of the Volks.

I think you may be a bit biased, Paul.

My vote also goes to the SSRs.

They're mine muahahaha!

Stan you need to get the SSRs, they're beautiful. I had gt7s and I kept them for a month. They were all silver and I got sick of them pretty quick.
