Which of the two would you guys get if you were me?

Unless you can get centercaps made to fit....and fit well....dont think that its going to be such a great idea...IMO. The exposed centers will rust...slightly oxidize...and such eventually, and I think that it looks a little too "boy racer" to me at my age. If I were 16-25 yeah I would go for it....but past 30ish...I dont know.

Dont get me wrong though....I really REALLY like the rims too. Just that the lack of centercaps kind of kills it for me. Though...it is what it is. It is meant for the track and on the track...you dont need centercaps to go flying off when you take those hard turns.

That's the problem I always have with PG as a gunmetal wheel lover. PG looks good but if you like GM wheels you may end up with a giant wall of grey and no contrast. To me the only way to pull it off is if you have a polished lip. The SL has a different lip so you may be ok. Black is always the safe bet on your color. In the end if you like it that's all that matters.

Thnx for your feedbacks.

I will def take your words into consideration. I really would like to see the SLs in person before deciding on anything tho. Leaning more towards the black TEs again. +1 from me.

19x12.......I'm all about that. 19x11 fits too easily and there is room for more. Tires would be the issue. The TE37 Superlap looks awesome.

S15 Silvia with Vertex Ridge kit and Super Faps = bad a$$:

Very nice!

phunk · 11-24-2010, 02:30 PM

another couple weeks till my superlaps arrive.

i have every intention to machine a 1-piece hubcentric spacer / center cap for my SLs on our CNCs... unless there is no lip around there to hold it down, but i bet there will be. Shouldnt be a problem. I may or may not make a few sets to sell off. We'll see what happens when the wheels finally arrive.

G Fo12ce · 11-24-2010, 02:48 PM

Good idea. If I end up with SL's I'd probably want a center cap too. If I remeber on other Volks the caps had a groove machined the back edge where it made contact with the rim. Then there was a rubber o-ring in the groove that made it a pressure fit.

Pics of the other new wheels that are going to be street versions of these racing wheels. Hopefully we'll see pics from Tokyo Auto Salon:

Jamaica · 12-01-2010, 09:32 PM

the middle one. is that out already?

G Fo12ce · 12-01-2010, 09:41 PM

Only in that single center lug race version, but my friend that works at Mackin said they may have the street version ready to show at TAS next month. He didn't know what they were going to call it.. It's hot though!

XwChriswX · 12-01-2010, 09:42 PM

I call dibs on the one on the right.
