so you think just because a company puts "racing" on their products means they intend only to sell to professional race teams? and they frown everytime they see their product on a street/track car?

you do fail.

I wasn't trying to look Nismo, thats just my favorite style of wheels. I don't have a bunch of NISMO stickers all over my car so who the eff cares?

So are we done being jackasses to eachother yet? 'Cause i'm done, you can continue talking to youtself if you wish.

you guys are all silly. anything can be destroyed and this isnt the first time a volk has been bent nor will it be the last. on the other hand, if rota would have been on the same car, the results would have probably been much worse. in any case its shameful for volk owners to put down rota owners, its just silly for rota owners to gloat.

to the op, yes they look like they can be repaired.

Well at this point the OP still hasn't confirmed to us what actually happened to those wheels. It was just assumed by someone this was done by a pothole. I'm curious to know... Because I KNOW what happened to my P45F when it took a 30 MPH impact head-on to a abrupt concrete sidewalk with a ~3,500 lb vehicle.

If the damage on these Volks was indeed from a pothole then this looks pretty bad, but if its a curb then it would make more sense.

Don't get me wrong. I think Volk makes some beautiful wheels, but I just can't talk myself into letting go of what would get me half way or further into buying boost. Not to mention the cost of replacement and the fact that I don't change wheels like I change underwear like some users here. More power to those that are willing to pay the premium.

I didnt. I bought more expensive wheels for the track. because i wanted forged lightweight wheels where it matteres. At the track. CCW FTW.

I paid premium for both my volks (which ive had for 4 years) and my CCW's, and both of them I feel every penny was worth it in all aspects of the wheel. look, performance, quality. I wont ever cheap out on wheels.

Yeah your right about that... with the weird 4-bolt. What the hell happened? We've seen this happen to stock wheels too. Are the stock wheels considered to be as strong as Volk's?
