honestly tho...i was juss looking for a nice lookin cheap set of rims that i can use in place of the volks when im at skool and wat not....i've had the centercaps stolen off the volks twice already. The first time they took just one and then the second time they took all 4. The thing that worried me most was...if they keep takin the caps...im afraid that i might come back and instead of caps missing my car is gonna b on bricks with wheels missing....
yup that is unique reasoning to say the least..........j/k
volks definately get my vote.........even if you forget the looks.......they make one of THE strongest rims out there............a certain someone(i'm not naming names) found out right in front of my eyes how strong thore rims are

i must admit volks are definately strong... i live in nyc and with the 19's on my car i slammed onto a bump at 70 miles per hour. i'm not talking about a little bump i'm talking about those bumps that come up a few inches off the ground on the highway (they were doing construction). My rims still seem fine, no vibration but my alignment looks a little messed up although it feels fine. for a rim to survive a bump at that speed and with that much weight on it (car weighs over 3800 pounds) and still look and feel fine... that is proof of quality right there. no doubt in my mind volks is one of the best companies for rims in terms of quality. this was on a 35 profile front and 30 in the back. just to give you guys a idea.

I do admire how Manaray ALWAYS tells it like it is.

Gotta admit, there was a tad bit of Manaray influence when I set out to buy my new wheels.
Although I think he might not think highly of 5Zigen (Not 100% sure) but it is one of the main reasons I went with A.) Forged and B.) 3Piece wheels.

Don't get me wrong. There are A LOT of nice 1 piece wheels out there. I just personally love the look of 3piece. Even better if it's a REAL 3piece

I'd go with the VOLKS
