+1....i'll take volks anyday!

i dont know what you guys are talking about, black rims with chrome lips look great on black cars, pretty much most other colors as well.

chrome is out for sure

leave rota alone! not everyone can afford work/volk/nismo rims!

I agree. Personally, I really don't care what others put on their cars. But I'm seeing the whole "black wheel with a polished lip" everywhere! Originally, it looked cool on black cars. Then I started seeing them on every color imaginable! IMO, dark colored wheels only makes the rim look smaller and spare-tire-like.

But hey, it's their money and their tastes.

Personally, I could live forever and never see another hub-cap spinner!

Totally put some of those on my friend's Maxima as a joke. We painted the spinning part gold, though.

Sorry to have sounded snobby but what other choices do we have? The first criteria when I chose my rims were weight. I actually saved about 5lbs a wheel over stock 18's and these are 19x9.5 and 10.5's. The second criteria was looks. They've got great designs and years of R&D so why not? My only gripe is that everytime Volk comes out w/ a new set of wheels other companies start knocking them off. I hate it when I see a set of ebay rims with gloss black and polished rim

Seriously de-values the worth of my Le's. Booo~

Each to his own if you like it do it.

I have to agree with haulass. We only see see alot of people with Volks because were on here. In the real world, only a small percentage of the people with Z's have Volks. Volks FTW!!!

because they straight up copied someone else. And if you like that, that speaks volumes about your personality. How would you like to spend all your money designing something, then have someone else not only copy what you do, but devalue your original?

Methinks you wouldn't like it.
