In a way, I'm glad I live in a place where Zs in general are not too common and modified Zs are rare. It's been nice to take trips to ZDayZ and ZCON to see what other people are doing with their cars though. When I get back home, I'm happy to say that there's nobody else around with my Volk wheels and I don't see NISMO body kits or spoilers either.
Face it, people go with what works best. The classic look of Volk wheels on a Z are hard to beat. That's not an excuse to NOT get some. None of us with Volks have anything to apologize for or be ashamed of.

People are seemingly getting off topic about the point of this tread but its ok. I was in no way questioning the quality of Volks but I would just like to see people move away from Volk. Ray's make other wheels that are great too like Gramlights but you never see many with those =(
