I don't think it's anything to worry about, people get tired of what they have and want something new. I'm the same way, but instead of selling mine I've decided to refinish them (not sure on the finish yet). But in terms of them being common, sure they are on this forum but on the streets they really aren't. Probably due to the steepish price, meaning there are tons of other good looking wheels that can be had for much less.

I think its because VOLK has some many nice offerings that people are just changing between different styles / colors....

I myself have gone through over 6 sets of volks over the years

Something about spending 3 grand on rims and going to a big meet and your wheels are all over the place. So I decided to step it up this upcoming spring to some Do-Luck Double Sixes.

as mentioned before...volks seem "played out" on here, but in actuality, how many do you really see out on the streets. Personally, Ive prob seen 3 sets of volks in person in my life, but i also came from german cars and volks arent that big in that scene. either way, im excited for my 19in gt-7 to come this week

most people who are selling are getting rid of their vehicles. volks are worth much more sold seperately then if they were traded in or sold with the car.
