Question My New Rims Part 2

Hey guys... I think I have finally made my decision on rims. I am going to be getting 19x8.5 Volk GT-V's with a +43 offset in either Gunmetal or Mercury Silver. I will probably be ordering them, Saturday, so I was wondering which color you guys like the best for a Titanium Gray. Thanks.

The first pic is in Mercury Silver and the second is in Titanium Gunmetal.

Silver is classy on any color.

I love GT-V's. If they took TPMS then I would have purchased them. I say go silver for your TG.

I say go with mercury silver. The silver will look better on your car, the Gunmetal is a darker color and will look better on a darker car.

The silver actually goes pretty good with the TiGrey. I don't think you can go wrong with either-

Mercury Silver will add better contrast to the color of your car IMHO.

But you should consider going for a wider wheel (9.5" would work perfectly with that offset).

how come you're going with that size? spending that kind of money, might as well get a more aggressive offset.

What offset would you recommend then? I don't want a huge lip, but a pretty big one. I also don't want to have to do any mods to make them fit and they need to big my big brake kit. What about a +35 offset?

Has anyone ordered from here? I am probably going to buy from them because they have the best prices. Are they legit though?

I like both finishes but i chose mercury silver. It will go better with your car's color.
