might as well throw my 2 cents in.
the gt30s look amazing on your car. maybe throw some colour on them?
vossen makes some amazing wheels. so what if they are heavier? they look good and they are cheaper to purchase than volks which makes them that much more appealing!!!
can't lose!!!
as for me?
i'm grabbing a set of 19" Volk GT-S in TIGM
and a set of 20" Work T1S in MSP

Lol you make it seem like Vossen rims are made of plastic. What I am saying is if you aren't a professional racer and care about the weight of your car, get the Vossen rims because that will catch attention. Volks look too normal and won't get a 'Wow'. The ONLY people that will notice them is the car enthusiast.. Google black rims.. almost all of them LOOK like volks hahaha !

IMO, GT-30s look 100x better then any of the Vossen line wheels. But again, that's just me... maybe whole lot of other members here.
And what's "black wheel"?
I googled "black wheel" and first thing that popped up was this one.
Which look nothing like any Volk wheels. Not to mention, it certainly weighs twice as much if not more. Now, you're saying performance isn't everything and wheels like Volks should be only used for racing... Well, again IMO, if you're going to rob performance out of a performance car, what's the point of spending your hard earned money and putting heavier wheels than the stock 18/19s? Might as well stick to OEMs. There are reason why Rays Japan is known world-wide. If I was in the market for a set of wheels right at this moment, I'd save up and get a set of RE30/TE37 even if they cost twice as much as any Vossen wheel lineup.
And remember, beauty is in the eye of beholder.

And my statement still stands on volks quality > vossen.

In the OP's case I would stick to the Volks because they're bad *** wheels to begin with. I would certainly not change them for Vossens. Advan? Yes. HRE? Yes. DPE? Yes. SSR? Maybe. Vossen? Hell no!
Trading a set of Volks for Vossen is kinda like trading a G37 for a Genesis. Not exactly an upgrade.

Depends if your trying to actually race or have your car look sexy and attractive. Volks are ugly vs the Vossen. No average person would even look twice at it or know what it is. If you randomly showed someone, they would think the rims are worth 100$ a piece and not have a clue what it is.. If you want your car to be a tad bit quicker then go with the Volks but if you plan on getting attention and ladies... get the Vossens...
Bro, that's what I said.
I knowwwwwwwwwwwww huh.
Period.
GT30s are gorgeous! In all colors but My favorite is your current set up.
New deal: I'll buy you the Vossens and you can just slide those pretty little Volks over to me! I would change my current set up for some Volks, or at least switch it out depending on my mood...
Maybe this was just his way of testing this forum to see if we have all lost touch what the true spirit of a wheel should be and all just turned to show... I call your bluff OP!
Love you Vossen so please don't get the wrong idea cause you make some of the best looking wheels on the market.

Who cares what you rock? As long as you feel good rocking it.

I was just asking. I wouldnt sell the Volks, I would just buy another set. As soon as my IPL kit is in and on the car, I just may powder coat them bronze and see how they come out.
