Are you serious about the NIN comment or did that joke go over my head?

I buy the cheap sunglasses from the kiosk at the mall or from eBay for $12.99 shipped. I don't know if they are designer knock offs or not and don't really care. They block the sun exactly the same and fit me fine. Best part is that WHEN I lose them I won't care.

Are you going to VIR on Dec. 1st? Track day for $275. Get between 2.5-5hrs of track time depending on your skill level and experience. There is a thread in the Track section.

I like them. Personally, not going to the track... 100% street driving, I could live with the extra rotating mass.
Wheeldude: What are the price and size specs? Also, would they be available in 18x9 or 18x9.5 sizing?

Why waste my money on Volks when there is a very small chance I'll notice the difference while driving? I found on wheelweights.net that a Volk CE28N in 18x9.5 which is very similar in style and size to my 18x9's weighs 17lbs. My wheels weigh 25lbs each, 8lbs heavier. I don't think it's that big of a difference.
I think it's hilarious when people dish out thousands for Volk RACING wheels and NEVER go to a real road race track! Too scared to play with the big boys? Or just too broke because you had to have the expensive stuff?

I couldn't agree more and I will use those few thousands saved for something else more important like a rollcage or maybe a set of forged pistons and rods...
I am not advocating Rota as something god gift to man. They are just practical and reasonably priced aftermarket wheels. It doesn't hurt to have similar looks to the ultra expensive Volks, Advan, etc etc.....
Call them what you want but Volk or not, they do one thing for me and that is to have tires mounted on them and be ready to roll around the street or the track.

Wow, I hope your grease monkey skills are better than your English skills. 
I'm at work on weekends. I'm at work right now getting paid to laugh at you.
Face it, Rotas are imitation Volks. It just screams wanna be. I just have the rims that came with my Nismo Z. I don't plan on "senting" 2k more than you for rims, I like mine. This is why us "old folks" tend to laugh/cringe and the young kids signing up on this site. You (or your parents) buy these old high mileage Z's and spend every penny on it so that the only mods your broke asses can afford are knock off rims, neon lights, and shift *****.
Time to move to the GTR... it will be a while before that car gets contaminated with teen fail.

"Except"? Wow, I hope your grease monkey skills are better than your English skills.
Good for you. As long as your happy with imitation rims that's all that matters.
"sent 2k" ? I just have the rims that came with my Nismo Z. I don't plan on "senting" 2k more than you for rims, I like mine.

2. I like my imitation rims
3.come on bro are you that dumb not to understand that I meant spent?? I forgot, you spend to much time on here just making fun of people who dont type as good as you.
4. To bad I bought my car with my 752 credit score. My own bank my own money my own auto trader. my own deal. I bought the car off a 65 year old man that never drove her. My Z had 15,XXX miles when I bought her and now she had 25k want to see some pictures?? Ill be glad to show off my CAR'S. And also the car came with 19"chrome +45 off set rims. I had to change them out and since I'm soooo busy trying to make my auto business rise I couldn't afford expensive rims.
So there ya go buddy I'm not like the other "TEENS" on here. You dont you first read up on me and find out what I'm about before bashing. Remember I'm 20 doing big things

I know everything about the whole rota deal. I am aware that they are cheep, knock offs, people hate, they crack, they smell, and they also look like imitations but I'm different and DGAF I'm guessing every wheel they make would be around 100$ a piece. They probably make a lot of money!

Actually you speak 2.5, you don't have the English down just yet.
I'm curious as to the other two languages you claim to speak, many of the kids your age claim a lot of things on here...
But to answer your question I "speak" one language.
You really are making this too easy. So when your business takes off and becomes a world powerhouse propelling the art of the oil change to never before seen heights you'll have the money to buy Volks.
Please elaborate.
