Face 2 does not come in 8.5. You have to get either 9.5 or 10.5.

I would go for ME if I like racing style. It looks like Drifting wheels.

For what it's worth, I like the Volk GT-S better.

i chose ME's because they are 1 pc forged.

the more pieces you have that make up a rim, the weaker it gets. although the ability to customize increases like 10 fold

GT-S FTW... if i wasnt in the market for the TE37's then i would go with GT-S... If you take off the Volk center cap off the ME's they look like cheap knock off wheels... you also might want to consider having a lip.... just my opinion dont bash me for it LOL

Ive always wanted something dark for a white car, and the ME don come in other colors (I am not gonna power coat $3000 wheels)
and i do want a lip. I have searched for GTS pics overall and all cars that have these have Huge calipers and they are all heavily moded. so i dont knwo how they will look on my simplistic car.

They'll look good on the car as long as you have a decent drop.
