I wouldnt refer to the Volks as "played out" at all... more like "classics" IMO. And the gold color just plain works with the paint...I'm surprised and impressed. Very nice.

Yeah, that "played out" comment was way off. Volks will NEVER be played out!!! And I'm actually surprised by the quality of the Alba's. Maybe it was just the Battles, but I've hit some wheel bending potholes in the Battles and surprisingly they came thru unscathed, so I'd have to say Alba does make some good quality wheels, again, maybe it was just the Battles, but maybe I lucked out. And the chrome finish has held up real good, cuz they still look brand spankin new after 4yrs.
