I think I was being facetious... I think

Why are Volk owners even offended someone copied the design? The wheels are totally different in construction, weight, strength and consequently performance. But I guess it's hard to tell said differences if all you do is hard park your car, in which case you are just as much a poser as those that buy replica wheels to pass off as the real deal.

This, coming from a guy who drove and tracked on rota grids (te37 lookalikes) and they got the job done for a great price.

 

fffffffuuuu

 

stupid thread. there's so many different types of everything out there its near impossible to be original anymore

 

You know you could've cut your time by .0987 seconds by using actual Volks!

 

It's not that original, but it's super affordable...

^ Lol, good reference!

 

I somewhat agree......

I can see the point of view from the manufacturers standpoint.........

But also, I don't believe the replicas take sales (high volume of sales) away from them. I believe most people buying the replica wheels can't afford the OG's in the first place.

I think the guy that owns a Rolex isn't too concerned with someone who buys a Rollex on the streets of NY city......

 

 

they make replicas buddy. its a copy of a very good light weight FORGED wheel made in a MUCH MUCH heavier cast process with a inferior finish compared to what Rays puts on their wheels.

you know exactly wtf i was saying in my statement, dont act like a tard and play stupid. now crawl back into your little corner and count your pennies so you can buy these performance killing wheels.

 

^ eeeeeeeeeeeeeasy.....

 

inferior finish? L-oh-freakin-L!

oh that reminds me, I need to go out and dry my Rays after this rain comes through, I dont want them ruined with waterspots.

That's actually a plus on these replicas, the care and feeding of Rays wheels is ridiculous. Of course, this doesnt really apply to a powdercoated TE37 so much...

 

You're right! I totally forgot about the wallet weight reduction!

jk

I measure my lap times by the minute, not seconds!

 

:rubs his hands together and looks around in anticipation for the next mad Volk owner: .. this thread gets more promising for high entertainment value every day

 

/\ lol, i dont think many Volk owners are going to be too upset about some ricers and their ghetto wheels. Sorry. :-(

 

Calling them "ricers" and "ghetto wheels" doesn't sound like you are upset at all ... UMadBro?

 

Why be mad? Why not be happy that the kid flipping my burger is saving up for ghetto wheels? Gotta fake it till you make it right? At the end of the day its just a car. I've seen plenty of riced out cars in my day, they just make the nicer ones look better thats all. Honestly, do you think the guys driving lambos get too upset when they find a Fiero with a bull on the hood, of course not, they just laugh, same thing.

 

rofl +1, i wouldnt ever go up to any fake wheel owner and bash them. i have no beef with them. i have beef with fake wheel owners come off with attitude "why spend more for a the real thing when you can get the replica for so much cheaper? then proceed to rub it into owners who own the real thing. its like they have to justify their fake wheel purchase. on top of that, from their point of view, the fake wheel is a just of good quality if not better!! L O FREAKIN L!!!

 

I was going to type exactly this, lol. Why in the hell does it seem like we care that you have to pose harder than Millie Vanilli to look good? It's the principle of the matter of not jacking wheel designs and basing an entire business on that practice (see Rota, Varrblowsten, etc).

But go ahead and continue using the same tired old reasons (waaahhh, no more original wheel designs, who cares about weight on a DD ) to justify that you'd love a set of Volks/Works/Advans/DPE/HRE etc but don't actually want to spend to get them.

You're on a budget and you don't have money to spend 3gs on wheels, fine. No one gives a **** about that. Now it's funny when given a 1 grand budget, you will throw away your stock wheels that are quality and usually lighter to buy a wheel that looks exactly like what you can't actually afford...hmmm. Not that there aren't plenty of originally designed 'budget' / cheaper wheels out there or anything like that...nope, no one can ever design anything original EVER AGAIN!! OH NOES!!

But yes, stay convinced we're mad at you for buying replicas of what we actually have...

edit: sp

 

This is getting good.

 

To be honest, the finish on these Varrstoen rims looks *****.
