My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I've always kind of admnired the Volk Racing TE37 wheel due to it's 1 piece forged construction and relatively really really low weight but had never really considered that model or even brand cause 1) they're more commonly used on Japanese cars so I didn't think they would look right on my M5, 2) I didn't know they make them in 20s and 3) they're kind of "common".
Well apparently Volks released 2 new styles that really caught my eye. One is the new G2 which is very similar to the TE37 but I believe it's a 2 piece forged wheel and the other is the new G10. Looks like the G2 does come in 20s but the G10 only goes up as high as 19s. I'm actually fine with that as I've been considering going down to 19s for better performance.
Not sure if I would jump on these yet but I just found them and got excited enough to post about it right away.
What do you guys think?

I like the G2 better if had to pick out of those 3. Not feeling the G10 at all and not a fan of the TE37.
Keep your 360's!!!!

You posted the pics in order of my preference. My thoughts on each model:
G2
Looks to be the biggest looking wheel out of the three. Looks nice and
clean. What color would you get in this?
G10
I like the concavity of the spokes to the center. It gives it some depth.
But seeing how this only comes at most in 19", the lip may make the
wheel look even smaller.
TE37
It's ok. I'm not really feeling it. Looking at the pic, the spokes appear
way too bulky.
IMHO, I'd keep your 360Forged wheels than any of these.
What do each of these wheels weigh anyway?
