Wondering how long you had the wheels on before you sold them.

I think they look good. Well...except for the stickers. I've had expensive wheels and I'm kinda over stressing about every pot hole/crack. No longer a brand *****

If you like what you got, who cares what everyone else says. That and for replicas, these wheels are very light compared to other replica wheels. Also you bend one and eh....not costly to replace.

The one gripe i have with them is the words stamped on the wheel. I was reading somewhere else that it was stamped with something like "Designed in japan," "Forged," and something else.

wheels looked good on the car. definitely a bad call to front with Volk stickers, though, hahahaa

Volk ain't none too happy either:

but they need to clearcoat over the stickers - makes the wheels seem higher quality, especially when paying $3k for some rims. They should also require proof of purchase from anyone wanting to buy some stickers.
