Those look worse than a 4,000lb woman's aszhole after she ate tacobell for 30 days straight.

If your gonna buy cheap rims, atleast buy a simple design. If konigs all you can afford buy something normal, those rims wouldn't look bad with plain polished lip. If you want a baller ti finish buy the real deal gram lights.

Go for it if YOU like them thats all that really matters. Let everyone else choose which rims you get when they actually pay for them.

No matter what on this forum there will always be that guy in a thread, that has nothing to do with volks, who says "Get Volks instead" Its proven and then it turns into this Volk vs world Thread AGAIN.

I think we need a mod watching "other than volk" threads to clean them up

Agreed. Don't get me wrong I like Volks alot but the whole "Volks or nothing" type statements and bashing is irritating.

^^ Ummm no?

Why are we still talking about VOLK. No one cares about volk right now, they dont make a TI finish.

This is about how those rims are an ugly heavy knockoff of these beauties.
You might as well buy fake taiwan brides to put on you z next to your gay fake ti rims.

If you are going for that style and don't mind not having that ti lip color and just the polish lip, then look into axis widetrack rims.

I really don't see all the "volk or nothing" bashing to warrant this crybaby BS, get over it.

Time out. Knock-offs? They look nothing like the Gramlights 6 spoke or 5 spoke. Everything is a knock off now. THese rims have the same lips as the gramlights. Not the same color lips etc. What about those 5spoke rims with the same ti lips. If a company has the money to buy the goods to make the product o fuking well.

All you damn "ballers" driving these low entry level sports cars. Should be driving damn BMWs so you can all fit in with them

Man this forum has evolved so much. Almost hondaforum like... Except they thrive on the knockoff...

haha, and you're saying the Z forum doesn't? Every day i see people saying "i got nismo v2/amuse" and always forget to add the replica part to their sentence.

I'd never tell people Volk or nothing, cause clearly there are other reputable rim manufacturers around (Work, BBS, Advans comes to mind)...I think it's more like get anything other than crappy rims (Rav's Vork Racing, Koing, Fast, whatever random bs name brand). Get quality rims and tires that match the Z imo.
