I talked to this dude over the phone before they made them in these offsets. their original set was 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22
back then i didn't know anything about offsets and i asked him if i could go to the shop(since they're local to me) and test fit em to see if it'd work
anyway he told me nah we don't do test fits and stuff because we got real engineers and do real measurements and calculations and that they wouldn't fit. he then proceeded to talk about how he doesn't like japanese cars because their offsets in general are weak and that he tends to stay with the euro crowd. anyway he was being pretty douchey, pretty saying that my car was stupid and he didn't want to put wheels on it, he did try saying it in a nice way tho. now 4-5 months later he makes wheels for the car lmaooo what an idiot. althought it probably would've been really hard to fit those wheels on ahah

I meant that they're the same in looks, not in construction. As much as people hate on wheel reps you can't argue that these look pretty damn good. After buying my SSR's and then powder coating them I ended up spending close to $1700 after everything was said and done. You can find these volk reps for like $750 for a whole set of 19"s, ridiculous.
*slaps self* and repeat "i love my wheels" over and over haha
anyways what everyone else has been saying..if you like it get it, just don't put volk stickers on them. i'll admit they'll look ridiculously good on your ride.

I'm not saying that Volks doesn't break, but they really are high quality.

Since 99% of people are only buying "real" wheels for the looks anyways, go ahead and get the reps. Paying for a forged wheel when all you do is cruise around on the highway is a waste of money.

Plus your fixing up your car for self gratification and not for the approval of your peers.

funny you say this I have 19 inch ssr sp1 professors and I hate when people think its a knock off of the work meister even thou ssr made the rim first and its the same damn price as the work meisters, but people think they are cheaper lol go to ssr and price their rims you would be surprised.
but anyways, bro if you're still looking for these wheels check the nissan forums, at least 2-3 sets a week of real volk te37s or varosstesgsl;n whatever it is reps are posted. good luck!
