T'was only a matter of time. Real Volk owners become the minority and ubiquitous replica owners think that every set is fake and are proud of it.
Awesome.

You realize that all the 'horrendous' colors that the replica makers use are also replica colors themselves? Takata green, Mag blue, F-zero blue are all copied using clever names like racing green or cosmic blue etc etc. Companies are so lazy they don't even think of original colors to paint their infringed wheels. Just sad.

I hardly think Volks are the end all be all of wheels, but I'm fairly certain if someone came up to me and asked me about my 'Varrstoen' CEs I'd be hard pressed not to smack them in the face with a 2x4.

I remember seeing that VOLK just started stamping on their 18" TE's. I thought they had always done that.

nah they didnt have any engravement on the wheels like the 19s did. so without the stickers it was hard proving they were real
