If I have misunderstood your "well take a look at the picture yourself" as being a little flip/chippy than I apologize. This impression was backed up by the No, you are wrong type response you gave kenchan. But I do repeat if you don't want an opinion than don't ask for it. This thread was not titled "Let me convince you this is a great wheel."
I just bought rims myself so I understand the need for opinions and feedback from others so I take the time to provide it. Again, listen, don't listen it's up to you. If you would prefer us to "preoccupy ourselves with other things" that can be achieved by you not asking.

Ok look i never said anything about the rim looking as if the chrome is good or not im not defending the rim in any way, as a matter of fact the fact that they are TSW dont thrill me at all but they do look simillar to what im looking for and they are in chrome after all this is why i frikin posted this in the first place. however when you respond regarding this, it tells me that you have a problem with either the fact that im interested in the rim or myself. anyway, I NEVER MEANT TO SOUND "CHIPPY". so lets squash this and see what others think of this wheel. deal?

Here's some pictures of my G with TSW Kyalami's. They're so cheap, everyone I run into loves them. Oh yeah, and I had money left over to get my AEM CAI, UR pulley set, and put a grand towards my Stillen cat-backs. I don't know.... maybe I should've gone with 19" Volk GT-7s and skip any performance mods. I'd be victim to more kills, but I'd look bad-@ss cool in the process!!

I have the exact same logic you have re: $$$$ per wheel since I got my Axis wheels, a 50" Samsung dlp, and a 12" Velodyne sub for the cost of the Volks.
Besides, my cars a lease.
However, when we add unsprung wheel weight (particularly when we move up in size) we do need to add some mods just to stay the same speed.
You might not be any faster. I know that myself (unmodded) I've lost half a step with the new bigger, heavier wheels. It just means that I get home to the big screen .00067835 seconds slower. I can live with that.
Note that I will also be getting a jet ski instead of FI.

Ironically, I weighed my wheels and the 18x9s weigh 2 lbs. less than my OEM wheels so I'm actually saving weight in the process. Sure SSRs GT2s in 18" would way only 18 lbs, but I'd be out another $600 which incidently was the price of my pulleys (installed).
I understand the wheels in question were chrome, but I was more or less defending TSW wheels and those that have to work within a budget. BTW, I love coming home to my Sammy 40" LCD HDTV. I can relate on that note.
Regards

Of course 18's don't look at sharp as 19's, but they still look sharp and once the car is lowered a bit, it will look even better. I also drive with a little more piece of mind over bad roads.

i'm not sure where this post took a turn but my original post dealt with a wheel that looks like Volk in style but in chrome. money is really not my concern but of course, if they are cheaper then why not? anyway, anyone else reccomend another brand that look similar to Volk GT-C that come in chrome? RX

Why spend the time researching and second guessing yourself about the quality, color, and what others think? Just go get the Volks!
