There is a pic of a car on Mugen GP's in the Mugenized thread (gallery)near the last page

I say go with the Mugens. They look great and will take longer to be played out than the Time Attacks (due to pricing, GB's and such). Dont get me wrong the Time Attacks are a sick looking wheel, but thier popularity will have everyone owning a set and they will decrease in value, Mugens will be discontinued at some point and go up in value (like M7's and MF10's did )

Correct me if i'm wrong, but the Time Attacks are a limited run color scheme for this year only.

I'm throwing these on this week once I get my damn hubcentric rings in!

You are right. They are supposed to be limited production colors.

But with how popular they are it would not surprise me to see that Volk decides to keep producing them as long as the demand stays strong and if they do discontinue the wheel it will never climb in value the way the Mugen wheels do.

The really rare of the Volks is the Flat black versions and the Dark blue (forget the name) of the TE's and CE's (special order only as far as I know) + there are a million sets of CE's and TE's out there and people can just copy the look if the cant find the real ones.

Dont get me wrong I'm not hating on the wheel I think they a bad @$$ wheels. They look good, they are light weight, and they are strong.

The thread was out of the two listed which one would I prefer, I choose the Mugens

I checked out the "Mugenized" thread as advised by neveronlines2k - that Silverstone S looks fantastc sporting the GP's but man, are the TA's nice - they remind me of the black Mugen RNR wheel that had the red lip. Also, is the difference between the TE's and CE's, just size?
Well needless to say, it's a tough decision but as a previous owner of Mugen wheels, I may be a bit biased...
Lets see what happens... but rest assured, pics will follow.
