Default SSR Professors or Volk Le37's.

i have finally saved enough $$ for rims, but im having a hard time deciding between the SSR Professors in Black or Volk Le37's in gunmetal. i have a silverstone and the only other exterior mod that will be done is an OEM lip and JDM headlight diffusors.....i know everyone has a diffrent opinion but im just curious to see what other people would think looks the best...thanks for any advice or suggestions you can give me.

Ryan

I really like both wheels and am almost torn between them as well. I think that when I do upgrade my wheels, I'll most likely go with the Volk's.

You can't lose either way! They both look great and are lightweight. As far as I know, they both fit our cars perfectly too.

My goal is to not upset the mileage (actual odometer and gas) while getting a lighter wheel and something perfectly matched for increased performance.

I think the SSR Professors are more rare if that means anything to you.

SSR's don't come in a good offset in 17 like the Volks.. I looked into getting SSR's and went with TE37's.
