Keep Volks or go 5zigen?
Im thinking of selling my Volk GT-N's and planning to buy a set of 5zigen FNO1R-C wheels with the glossy black center and polish lip (see attachment). Going for a new look I guess. I know they will fit, 18x9.5 all around w/ +45 offset and I plan on using my 245/40 tires with these wheels. Im just having a tough decision of I should go ahead and do this or just keep my volks, Im about 50/50 on this. Some of your guys feedback would be appreciated...

245/40/18's on a 9.5" tire ? Those are tiny on a 9.5" tire. I would say, just keep your current rims I think they look better than the ones you want to go to.

Brands aside you would be moving from a forged wheel to a cast wheel... big no no there.....
You are already owning Volks.... the only way to move is to move to multi-piece forged wheels.... bling bling

Going from Volk to 5Zigen is as if I were to trade in my 8 for the new civic si. Sure the new SI is a great car, but there is no way in hell i would ever downgrade to it.
Glad to hear you finally came back to your senses and decided to not do it.
