Default rim suggestions, volk te-37's or ssr type c *aka* competition

i think i've finally found a buyer for my 17" enkei zokus, so i may have to start a new rim selection process . i'm looking at either the volk te37's or ssr competition but if anyone recommends something else, go ahead. i will have a set of stock rims if i decide to race or auto x so would like to have a 17 inch. my zokus were 17x7 and i believe both the te37's and ssr only come in 17 x 7.5 so any words of advice and anything are appreciated
*edit*, in case anyone needs pics of the ssr's
and i think everyone knows what te37's look like

I have 17" SSR GT1's on my car. Very nice, not very common, and only 16.5 pounds. Go for the SSR Type C's.

I voted for the SSR TypeC since it's cheaper than the TE37 I think? And u won't attract the theft's eyes that much like the TE37. SSR wheels are very nice too but they're just not that popular in the North America yet.

They will get bigger

I saw RealTime ITR got those TypeC on before...look pretty good

Volk all the way, I will never own any other kind of wheel.

Realtime runs both SSR Competitions and Volk TE37s so we know they are both good pick the one that floats your boat.

I have this exact same delima.

Something to chew on.

a TE37 in Gunmetal has about a 3 month wait and cost about $100 more per wheel.

I prefer the look of the SSR comps over the TE37 just by a little bit. According to a wheel weight guide that I commonly use, the SSRs are about 2.5 pounds lighter than the Volks in 17" size. Not bad.... If you can get these sooner than the Volks, and for less money, I would go for these.
Plus, it seems like everybody has volk TE-37s.

If money is an issue, I'd go for the SSR's. Otherwise, TE-37's in gunmetal.
