And its justified.. Its his opinion.
Like its my opinion, that its super childish to put someone on blast, just because they have a different opinion than yours.
And to start a thread about someone when you dont even know its actually him is pretty childish as well...

The Z is a driver's car. That is what it was designed and built for. It was not meant to be "exclusive." For those who like to degrade the 350 for its resale value, educate yourself. You should be thanking Nissan for mass producing such an awesome car so you can own/afford one. If it was in the same category as a Ferrari, 3/4 of us wouldn't be here. Rejoice don't renounce.

+1. I get what you mean. But most of the times when something is more expensive, it's more expensive because it's actually a better wheel. As in manufacturing process as you said. So I guess same idea, but wording wasn't the best.

Again. I'm not here hating on Volk Owners or saying everyone should downgrade the Z and get eBay knock offs and XXR wheels.
I'm just saying, we all love the 350Z. This is a forum for enthusiasts to hang out and chat with other enthusiasts. Not a place where in order to be "cool" or "accepted" you have to drop $5,000 on wheels/tires.
People have the money to buy the car, it's their car, let them enjoy it the way they want to. Who cares if someone buys Rotas, good for them. Who cares if people buy Varrstoens, good for them too. Want to buy Volks? Go right ahead, no one is stopping you. But talking crap about someone based on how expensive his/her mods are, just makes you a stubborn, ignorant, and douchie Z driver which fits Dan's statement to the T.

Some guys here probably bought a Rolex just coz they drive a Z.
Few days ago, I curbed the FR wheel and got a really nasty ding - good thing it was only Rota.
If it was the real Volk i would've rolled over crying. LOL!
Can't hate the Rota's for that reason.
Also, I cant blame that Dan guy for writing that post. I see lots of Rota-hatin in almost every wheel thread in this forum.

People buy what they can afford. If you can’t afford a Volk rim then you won’t get it. Why should you have to continue to save up and conform to what everyone else has? Car enthusiasts modify the car to THEIR liking. It should not be to anyone else’s. If you can afford a set of Volk’s then that’s sweet for you, but if you can’t and you can only get Rota’s, Varrstoen, etc. then go for it. And to those who hate on you because you can’t, grow the eff up. Seriously.
With that being said, however, if you buy the “knock-off” version of a rim, don’t put on the stickers of the real company. Because then you sir, are officially a douche. I plan on buying a set of Varrstoen’s and I plan on doing it because I cant see the reason for spending 5 grand on a set of wheels for a daily driver. Some people do that, and that’s totally cool. In fact, I like when they do it because I like to see others style and how these rims look on our car. Why go around hating on ****? If this was a track car and I needed the advantaged of forged, lighter rims, then perhaps I would buy higher quality. To me, those rims give the best bang-per-buck. So, if you got Volks, just be happy with them, show us the pictures, let us drool over them, but don’t **** on people because they don’t have what you have.
