my volks have been mistaken for replicas
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.

Def not as bad as having some ghetto fake ricer wheels mistaken for real ones but i thought it was funny. Gonna email them about taking it down.

I sent them a email and they replied this this nonsense
which picture are you referring to? I just removed a picture a couple days ago of one that had Volk TE37's. I try to make sure there are only Varrstoens in the pics, but it is hard to distinguish them sometimes.
Thank you for your visiting the site,

What a load of crap. He said he took it down but its still up:
Yeah that was brought to my attention last week and I promptly removed the picture. I added those pics to the site last year when I became a dealer for Varrstoen. I found that picture when I did a Google search for Varrstoen. I have already talked to the owner of the car, and there is no ill-feeling either way... So why are you so aggravated by it? Not everyone can afford to spend $4000 on wheels, and I don't think we are wrong for offering them a product that looks good and sells for 75% less. Just because someone doesnt have the money to spend that much on some wheels, does that mean that they don't deserve to have the look they want on their vehicle? We cater to all customers, and think that everyone deserves to have a great looking car if thats what they want.
Thanks again for your concern, and I will be sure not to post anymore pictures of Volk wheels and label them as Varrstoen.
Thanks,
Bobby
