Which Volk wheels

I have a winning blue rx8. I am down to 2 Volk wheels. Could use some opinions.
Volk LE37T Gunmetal 18x8.5-18x9.5
Volk GT-C Gunmetal 19x8.5-19x9.5

Thanks in advance.
Todd

depends on your aero/bodykit setup, but the GT-C really grow on me.

how bout something other than Volks??? lightweight SSR Integral GT2s...the 18x8.5s are 17.2lbs. I think these cost just a tad under $500 each.

The SSR is a great looking wheel. One of the reasons I am going with Gunmetal is the Mazdaspeed body parts have GM lowers.
Does anyone know what offset I would need to put 9.5 on the front?
Thanks
Todd

I am leaning toward the GT-C's myself but the 19" GTC weighs about 8 lbs more than the 18"LE37T. The only racing I am doing is some SCCA solo.

I almost bought the GTC but i was swayed by the g-games that maniac posted.Plus the only GTC they had was spark and they are way to white.Gunmetal gtc look good also look at the grams or the new roja made by rays.

I've always liked the LE-37Ts.

TE-37s are so pedestrian... the polished lip makes ALL the difference.

GT-C are just kinda boring to me.

I would get the GT-C's. Unfortunately, both wheels are ludicrously expensive . Also, check out Gram Lights 57Pro .
