Volk GT7 or SF-Challenges on BS

Hey guys-
I'm finally deciding on which wheels I want. I really like the Volk GT7s and SF Challenges. My Car is BS with Brembos. Can someone help me out with pics of these wheels on the car? I am thinking Gunmetal, but my friends are pushing for black. Any input would be appreciated. I'm looking to get 19s... but not sure about 8.5, 9.5 or 10.5 and have NO idea about offsets... HELP!

Danny

I vote for SF Challenges - Diamond Black - 19'X9.5"(offset 28) & 19'X10.5" (offset 23). I'm really happy with mine.

I would do 8.5 from and 10.5 rear regardless of what wheel you choose. I think the smaller lip in the front makes the rear lip look bigger, I think it looks much more aggressive.

Personally I would go with sf challenges in gunmetal I think you want a +23 in the front and a +28 in the rear, those will clear the brembos.

Keith, you have any pics of your car? Also, how much did your wheels run w/ tires?

I don't have Brembos so no clearance issues. Here are some pics -

I got the Volks w/Toyo package for $3300 at Wheel Options in El Monte, CA. The Diamond Black is supposed to be special order only / limited color (???). If you're out of state, the shipping costs are usually a "wash" with the Calif. sales tax.

No, they're not glossy black. They a shade or two lighter than glossy black.

Would running the 19x8.5 +23 19x10.5 +28 cause any rubbing issues on the wheel well? Thats always been a concern for me (Im looking for new rims as well).

thx

Kristen -
Very nice ride, looking sweeet!!! I love the color, wheels, tint and overlays. I like the oem front lip, but in Calif., I know I'd be hitting it everyday.

Wow, an ATI SC - very nice. Please pm me with your sc results and satisfaction.
