Volk Progressiv and Advan Model T6. Both are very similar in design. Which do most of you like better?

I like the way the spokes on Volk finish at the rim much better

They both look great. Either one would be an excellent choice. Is there is big difference in price between the 2? Is one built better than the other?

Both are around $650 and $725 per wheel. So they are pretty close to being the same price. The Advans have a hollow core that apparently makes them pretty light. I know almost everyone on here likes Volks, but I'm surprised for the lack of love for the Advans. These particular Volks have a little more "style" than the Advans, but since both are so similar I think it will come down to which ever I can get for the lower price.

Advans, no question. What's with the little tabs in between the spokes in the Volks. Not my cup o tea at all.
