Default Choosing Wheels for my Crystal White GS
As the title obviously states, I'm looking for wheels for my GS3. I've decided to go with 18s due to the fact that the number of sub-par local roads are increasing. I thought about going the budget route by considering 19" Tenzo DC5 Version 2's but decided that I don't want to go the cheap-o route. Here are the wheels I've narrowed my selection to:

1.) Volk AV3 (18x9+32 114.3 5h 18x10+45) http://www.rbwheels.com/index.php?ma...be550457ba9f3b

2.) Weds Kranze (18x8+45 18x9+46) http://www.rbwheels.com/index.php?ma...2cfa22f02de59e

3.) SSR Varden (18x8.5+26 18x9.5+26) http://www.rbwheels.com/index.php?ma...be550457ba9f3b

What do you guys think?

Get the SSR Varden, love the Dynamic Dimple Composite lip (DDC). Mesh wheels looks sick when spinning...

Weds Kranze and the SSR look like Volk VS-XX and the Volk AV3 are universal lug pattern looks cheap.
