Guys, need your opinion, please!

Exploring wheels for my daily driver, OB sedan awd (dropped on D2 coilovers). Not looking for anything aggressive, flush (with no fender work required), and no track duty. I know the below options are almost comparing apples to oranges with price, quality, etc. But assuming they are relatively the same price, what do you think looks the best of the 3? (please don't turn this into a replica vs. authentic thread!) Just interested in your opinion on looks for a OB sedan.

Volk Progressiv Spoke
19x8.5 +35
19x9.5 +38
I naturally lean towards the Volk Progressiv Spoke. Not sure if the wheels look a little dated? It also has a very conservative fitment.


InCurve IC-S5 Concave
20x9 +35
20x10.5 +45
Pretty standard split 5 spoke wheels. I like the rear concave. Not sure if it's too "sporty" for a sedan.



Varrstoen ES 1.1.2 Hyper Silver (BBS LM replica)
I've always loved the looks of BBS LMs.
19x9.5 +22 F&R



I had Volk GTS on my previous car (weekend garage queen). Not considering the GTS, but because I had Volks on my previous cars, I'm slightly partial.

I'm super partial on the Volk GT-S. they are beautiful. I had them on my 350Z. Go with those.

Advice from left-field here, but if it's your daily driver, then go with the wheels that are easier to clean and wax.

Excellent advice!


I like the incurves. They probably wouldn't be too hard to keep clean.

I think the varosten's would be a nightmare to clean, but would look great.

Don't really like the volk GTS for a sedan....but that's just me


All in all, Rochester gave some awesome advice, but if you want great looks you may have to sacrifice ease of care...and vice versa.

Of the 3 I'd lean toward the InCurve, I really like this look for an OB although they'd be a bit more work to keep clean, but gunmetal won't show the brake dust as bad a silver

Thanks guys, GTS was not an option, just saying that I owned it on my last car and that I'm partial to Volks.

One "right field" vote for the volks. Forged one piece, and 19" vs 20"?
Yes, peas.

But aren't those discontinued?

Great advise, however, I'm pretty meticulous already with keeping my car clean (especially since I have an OB), so that's a low consideration factor. But a good call-out regardless.

It would be a used set. Speaking of discontinued, do you think they look dated?

Incurve going by looks only.

Never thought about waxing the wheels. Keeps them cleaner, I guess? Protects the paint on them a bit?

I'll have to give it a try.

Wheel Wax is a decent product. But any good paste wax would do better than nothing at all.

Sorry for the sideline, OP.

Personally, I'd go with the lightest ones.

Added unsprung weight sucks.

I don't think they look dated, but my preferences aren't usually cutting edge lol. I think they look good.
