The wheels look good but honestly...

It's no big deal running a knockoff wheel. Running volk and rays engineering stickers on them though is just retarded. We all know they're fake but the ignorant don't and when they see those wheels snap in pieces from hitting something, they're going to make the assumption that volk and rays engineering make shit products-which we all know is not the case.

As far as the comment goes for putting Toyota badges on an Frs, that is no way the same thing. How many people put "Type R" or "Silvia" or "Altezza" badges on their US Sold cars? It's just different badges/branding that goes on the same car. An equal argument would be better if you said it was the same as putting that hideous LFA wannabe kit on an Frs.

I have no issue with people running knockoffs, as some people don't always have the extra coin to shell out for super expensive parts. But buying the bare minimum and trying to pass it off as the real thing is crap.

I chuckled so loud when I scrolled down to this pic that I might've woke my apt neighbor! Sorry it's just funny because the sticker doesn't line up with the spoke... "self made" lol ><



But the wheels look cool. They are Volk-inspired but not exact replicas because it's got an exaggerated concavity similar to my buddy's XXR 522. Volks have a natural concavity (nothing like this).

Im always trying to do the bare minimum for my track craze since its based on a small budget. Ill consider buying the real thing if someone with them can beat my lap times by over 2 seconds or else i cant justify spending extra $2000 for wheels. The tires are the important part to me, not the wheels....as long as they work. They seem to work fine as shown in the video.

Quite heavy, I think it was 21lbs or something. If i could find something just as cheap and not as wide, but as durable as these and clear my Stoptechs, I wouldnt use these.
