I went to see these wheels today and held a 20 up against my car to get an idea on how it would look. I think they are pretty good looking wheels for the price. I didn't buy them since they weren't in stock. I went with Volk GT-S instead.... I know, completely different wheel.

As for me, i had my heart set on the GT-S for a long time, but was hesitant to shell out the cash. I have a good friend in the wheel business that was going to get me a killer deal on wheels (not volk).... but i just couldn't get the GT-S off my mind. It turns out the one's he carried that I liked the most, the R-1 Drifts, weren't in stock and that was my sign. I ordered my Volks.

But, again, the Drifts are some great looking wheels! ...especially on DG.

Save your breathe. It is a battle you nor I will ever win. The lasting opinion around here, with some but not all members, is that anything less than 3k is not worth the money. I disagree completely personally.

As for the question in this thread, no I do not have these wheels but have seen them in person and they look good. They are very similar to PIAA SuperRozza's. They are great looking wheels and I have heard nothing bad about their quality and nearly bought a set of hype's myself but I couldn't stand the offsets.

Nothing to do with price. Just avoid blatant knockoff wheels with unknown/suspect quality. There are plenty of other good quality wheels to choose from around whatever budget you're working with.

exactly. some good reasonably priced wheels would be: OEM 19's, nismo lmgt4's, MB weapons/a-tech, 5zigen fno1rc's, enkei rpf1's etc. All can be had for less than $2k and are original looking high quality cast or forged wheels made by a good manufacturer.
