Most of your baseless comments/opinions have already been refuted by others who posted before me but I'd just like to address one more.

Saying this is the equivalent of saying Nissan only makes sports cars due to the fact that they offer the Z and the GT-R. Volk offers a variety of wheel styles for different uses.

Mine were with tires as well, new ones, and the wheels were new, not used as the Volks you bought were. To me, a new set of good wheels/tires that looks great on my Z beats a used set of secondhand Volks/tires. Just my opinion. You feel differently....agree to disagree.

When i can justify 3k+ for some Volks, ill pick up a set. Until then, ive got way too many other finacial priorities where 3k can be used.

This whole argument is retarded and as always, and will go absolutely nowhere but on and on. There are so many variables to each person's choices and lives, its rediculous.

It's just like clothes. The same shirt at walmart will cover you just as well as the one from the armani store. But there will be people who buy the armani for a bit better material and mostly the name as a designer.
This is exactly what I was saying in page 1! lol

I'm gearing more towards a 'show car' look, and these happened to be fairly cheap.

I have actually gotten a lot of compliments on these wheels too, a few compliments a week from random people. I think they go well with the silver door handles and the blacked out rest of my car. But I'm fully aware everyone has their own opinions and that most people probably won't like my wheels.
nothing on a show car is cheap. you want a "flashy" car. this is what it boils down to: if you put cheap parts on your car, it will make your car look cheap.

I think some of them look pretty good, but I've seen a lot of plain ones too (which people went crazy for)

My main question to you all is this: What makes volk's so appealing?

And I know each person has their own opinions and this one is mine (I'm sure some people wouldn't like my style of rims either), I am in NO way talking down to Volk's, just wondering what the appeal is.

Thanks!
Not trying to start anything but how old are you?

Seriously, who cares what you buy for your Z, it's your car, get what you want.

Just don't join a forum with the sole intent of bashing another wheel that you can't afford like the super-newb OP.
