The Volks are like an M5 while the axis are like a 525I, both look the same but are not.

Plus the SF Winnings are like a split 8 spoke mesh. The Pentas are more like the Work VS-XX in that sense (split 10 spoke mesh).

Well they dont look exactly alike, and Im not saying buy the SF Winning "just because its Volk" The price of the product is definitely reflected in the quality, trust me if you had had both in front of you, you'd choose the SF just for fit and finish. When it comes to performance, while the SF is forged and true 2 piece, performance weight wise may be negligible, Im just being fair guys, but Im sure if you lift both the Volk is noticeably lighter. The SF also has a mirror finish lip that looks sick whether spinning or standing still. The only downside to that is it takes major maintenance, they look so good clean, and these cars give brake dust so easily you'll constantly be cleaning them because you'll love how good they look when they're clean.

Volk has higher quality, lighter weight wheels. Axis has good quality and heavier wheels but still a great brand. Just weight out your desires/needs. If you don't care much about weight and don't feel the need for top quality then opt for the Axis. For a piece of mind and stunning quality opt for the Volks.
