Volk Rim Problems?
Volk Rim Problems?
Two seperate individuals that work for two different tire shops, very knowledgeable people have told me that Volk's and other 3-piece rims have problems after long wear (6months - 2 years) that after awhile they do not seal well after a couple years making them almost impossible to keep air in. They even explained instances where 2 customers complained about their rims not being able to hold air longer than 2 days. I mean dont get me wrong but i have no problem with filling up for air every now and then, but i was gonna buy Volk GT-7's on my moms brand new Lexus SC430. She picked them out, shes got good taste 
. But i dont want her to have to worry about throwing air in the tires every other day.

my volks are single peice, but Ive never heard such a thing about any rim. regaurdless, Id expect that there would be a warrenty of some sort on any 3 peice rims...
perhaps these people bent their rims slightly? and then blamed it on wear and tear?

Actually, I have heard of this. I had this problem with some cheap chrome aftermarket rims that where already on a car that I bought. Seemed like you could never keep air in the tires, even with brand new tires and tire shops searching for answers.
Interesting, although I doubt that Nissan would put these same kind of rims on the Track model with this history of problems.

Besides the TE37's i have now, i had Volk Racing Volk III's on my previous car for 3 years...never had a problem with any sort of air leakage that was beyond normal tire maintenance. Volk doesn't use any kind of rim section that isn't industry standard so for those people to single out Volk without any specific reasons sounds exactly like what rodH is saying...they're pushing their own brands.
