This and the Axis Shine are both knockoffs of a Maya wheel. Yes, there are a few people with them, and they'll defend their purchase to death.

If they're heavier than 24lbs per wheel... Worthless

Well ya its nice to have performance but ya its just a daily driven car... Also not trying to offend anyone but what makes Volks so good? Is it the fact that they are light weight? Overall quality? It may be an ignorant question, but its coming from someone who legitimately wants to know. Thanks guys.

HipHop I suggest to take your own decision, we dont have to be all the same! It's too bored... All cars the same..... sucks! Take your own dimensions, wheel size and tire preference as well as offset and purchase by yourself. Volks people wont give you a penny for purchase or repair in case of damages, I agree with daily use and is better to take a hard and strong wheel against a lightweight wheel more if you wont be in the track. Good luck, R1 is a preety wheel and I have see it in Z.

Ya I know I’m not asking anyone to make a decision for me (I didn’t feel I even implied that at all), I was just simply asking why are volks better than everything else on the market, its a legit question and wanted a straight forward answer that’s all.
