Which set should I keep?

I need some advice. I currently have a set of MRR GT1 wheels on my car that I like a lot, but they're a bitch to keep clean. I found a set of used Volk SF Challenge and bought those. Then I put new tires on and ordered some center caps for them. I put the Volks on last night and the rears rub so I took them off. I guess I'll need to roll the fenders and maybe put some negative camber in the rear, but before I do that I have to make sure I like Volks over the MRR's. After looking at the pics I'm not so sure so I figured I would ask your opinions. I know most people here love Volks, but personally I could care less what name rims I have. I just want it to look nice.

Not sure man, I kinda like the look of the MRRs more, but I can imagine they definitely suck to keep clean. Your call but the MRRs look better, imo.

To be fair the BBK wasn't installed yet in the pic with the MRR's.

How can you say that? He doesn't have the Alliance kit pictured with the MRRs. I am not a fan of the Volk Challenges myself, they look like they belong on a Civic or Eclipse (they sorta look cheap). I like 5 star wheels as I personally have Nismo LMGT4's but I really like the look of the MRRs, lets see a pic with those and that BBK!

I couldn't find a pic of the entire car with the MRR's and the BBK, but here's one of the front wheel.

I figured it was common sense that a 5 spoke wheel would show off a BBK better than a mesh wheel.

honestly, I like the mesh style but not the chrome. Put some tire shine on your tires and keep the volks. They're timeless.

Mike I would have to say the volks look better...even though I dont go for the High priced wheels...they do flow better with your car than the MRR's. Plus the chrome throws it off so if you do go with the MRR's you can always get those powdercoated.
