Also the car will be sitting lower than that when the volks are actually on.

I agree, it seems to me that with your headlights the older rims just flow better. I can see those volks lookin pretty good with some black housing headlights IMO

the volks are some rare old school jdm rims, but would look a lot better of they had a little more dish to them.
They would be a little smaller dia in real life than in the chop too. chop looks like 16 or 17".

What about painting your current rims centers if you are tired of them?

Tried them on today and well im kinda not liking them much cos of the offset they have. But will still decide. And yeah i reckon they might look good with some black housing headlights. Such a hard decision

i think the old rims r too big. the volks are rare and they look good. yes the old rims "flow" better but there not volks u know. i mean how many times r u going to run into something rare like that again?
