Don't buy the "everyone has Volks" BS. Maybe everyone in Calif has them but in most other places around the country they're pretty rare. Pick a wheel because you like the way it looks, not because it's popular or to be different.

I agree, I heard that same crap when I got my wheels almost two years ago.

Are you building a show car or is it a street car? If you see 100 Zs on the road and they all have stock wheels and you're riding on Volks, then you're the different one, you're the one that stands out.

If you're worried about being unique in a car show, then maybe Volks aren't the way to go, but then again, they're always coming out with new models. It's not like they only make one style.

It doesn't make sense to not consider one brand of wheel (or wing, or front lip, or radar detector) just because they are "common". Pick one based on the style, the quality, the value, the performance. Go with what YOU like, not what other people's opinions (votes) tell you. After all, you're going to have to live with them

I love my Volks. I don't care what anyone says. They are very well built and designed. That's why everyone wants them. They are expensive, but worth it. I don't see Volks down here in Fla very often so that hasn't been a problem either...

alright here's the thing...... im not worried about being different and in TX orwhere im at in the Fort Hood area i havent see any 350z with volks on except for one when i went to a nissan promo at a dearlership.... my isnt being built for show, my Z is being built for drift,race, and style....

im not getting the volks just cuz they're popular... its cuz they're the only wheels i like besides the Axis Penta but the problem is with the penta they dont make the sizes that i want ...... so i just cant decide on which wheels to get cuz i really really like all 4 of those wheels.....


can any please help me or give me some advice on offsets? cuz i dont know what offset i should get with my wheels.... all i want is a huge lip/dish

I voted for the GTUs. No love for them, I guess.

Why no forged monoblock selection?


Oh, love the gold GTVs, BTW. ^
