I hear you on that, I'm just tired of everyone jumping to their defense when someone actually talks down about the company.
I have Custom wheels on my G I pick the offsets and widths and they are still about the price of Volks or work (actually cheaper than some wheels) I also just bought a set of those 5axis wheels for dailys on my Z. They come in the most common volk sizing 9.5/10.5 +22 yet the wheels cost about what one Volk/work wheel is worth.
I wouldn't bring BMWs owners into it, they are the cheapest car owners on the planet. Hence all the BBS reps and German wheels.
There is no need to hate a company because they sell wheels that cater to a larger market. The Z is a rare car with large fenders at the sub 35k sell, normally if you want to fit 11s with low offsets, you are going to be looking at porsches and a high end sports cars.

dude have i met you? you drive a G? i thought u were the guy who polished his plenum last year? and the guy i saw at tims richmondhill a few times with brad and kiriller.
5axis i saw on a zr at a meet two years ago and they looked sick! its refreshing to see original wheels that arent so common. that look good mind u.
when i said bmw i meant the higher end ones. i know what u mean tho about the bmw guys.

Then we've been agreeing all this time lol
I'm not sure, I think you'd recognize my G, I go through wheels like a hooker goes through plan Bs though.
But I agree, there are bigger(wider not diameter)better wheels out there, but in the $1000-$1300 range new, the market is slim. Especially in Canada where a lot of companies like 5axis don't even have distribution. I think we have 4 or 5 Work dealers in all of Ontario and I use to be one of them. It's hard to find wheels wider than 10" from your average tire shop, you need to get to a specialty shop or custom shop.
Edit, I picked worked for that because they actually offer custom fitment upon ordering.
