GPO EVO's or TE-37's?!?!

Ok guys here's my dillemma:

Do I go w/ Mag Volk TE-37's that I have, or sell them and get some SSR GPO EVO's? Throw some opinions my way.

Those Magnesiums were supposed to be one of the lightest rims out there. Hey but SSR are good too, dunno about weight. If you want to cahnge the appearance of the car change it, its becomes preference thing. If you are concerned about performance, find out the weight and tire combination for your needs.

i'll trade you for my GP-0 EVO's =)

the GP-0's definately have the edge as far as show factor but man you can't beat the weight of the mag te37's even if they do look bland. i've been trying to decide if i should sell my GP-0's for awhile now to get some lightweight racing rims but i just love the look of 3-piece rims (apparently a lot of other peolple do to, i get a LOT of compliments on them). i probably would get some lighter rims if/when i convert the car to track use.

I've always LOVED the GPO's look, but I don't know JACK about the weight! I've contemplated simply powdercoating my MAG TE-37's but then they look like all the other not-so-exotic TE-37's and their respective rip-offs... Anybody wanna sell me their GPO's? Post a reply or PM me!
