About to give up on my GT-Cs, any suggestions?

Well, my Volk's are STILL on order, and my stock tires are completely bald. They have to be replaced now. Im probably going to cancel my order for my RBC GT-Cs; should I just get silver GT-Cs that are in stock, or go with something different? I like the GT-C, but by now it is EVERYWHERE. Maybe go with Maido GR5s or some RH J5 Pros? Any other wheels I should consider?

just wait for the GT-C's. RBC aint as common as silver, mercury silver, gunmetal, or gold in terms of GT-C's. plus, it's a limited color. i would rather have GT-C's over Maido GR5's because it looks nicer, and the quality is better. plus, it's lighter. RH J5 Pro's?? no, don't do it because they weld the wheel together, and it's lightweight cast as opposed the spun cast center, forged outer. there are more J5 Pro's out there than 20" RBC GT-C's.

I believe mercury silver is a little darker, but not so dark as gunmetal.

RMC is bright chrome. RBC is black chrome.

For something similar, there's also the Speed Star Wheel D5R that I've got. You can see pics on my cardomain. Can be ordered from Tire Rack. Pretty original since I haven't seen any other G/Z sporting them.

I would wait for what you really want and not settle for less. You will regret it later. How is it your tires are going bald when you're thousands of miles away?

they arent going bald, they've been bald since I left in February. For now, my roommate drives it once a week or so, just enough to keep it from sitting. She even got it waxed for me the other day- thats a great roommate.

I talked to my retailer last week, Im giving them a little longer to deliver the GT-Cs.
