Default EK3 Hatch - Volk vs Konig vs Buddy Club

Hey guys, I'm currently doing a swap on my EK3 Hatch (silver) - B16A, and I'm gonna go with 16" rims... This is the fit I'm looking for... they look like Volks Rays to me. Plz give me an idea as to the rim size, tire size and offset for this type of fit. So far I like Konig Feather's, Buddy Club P1 SF and Volk TE37. Konig is a much better though so I'm leaning towards those. My rims must be dark; black, carbon, gunmetal etc. Thanks !!

You have the owner's Instagram, but don't ask them directly?

Better yet... just look at the tags.

They not responding.... didn't check the tags oopps

Seems like these are the rims and they are 25mm offset. He has 195x40x16 tires stretched ... What you think?

The Varrstoen V1 are the wheels I want. They have a 25mm offset for 16" Diameter. They are the only wheels this size that I like with that offset. Can't seem to find the weight specs anywhere though.

What would be a good drop? I'm not sure if to go 2inches lower. What spring should I get with 205x40x16?

Go 16x7 +33 Volk or 16x8 +33. +42 would work too.

...think I'm settled on the Varrstoen's.

Edit: Can anyone share their experience and give me an idea of the drop i would need for 205x40x16? Would 2 inches do it?

How can someone compare Volks and Konigs, like how can you even put them together in the same sentence?

Everybody and their mom has TE37/v1/grids. It depends on how you approach it.
I love the way PunchedGuava did his:

There are threads for each wheel you want, just look around HT
Another way to help you find images is to go to Google Images and type:
