My New Rims Custom Ordered

What do you guys think?

Very light 2 piece design I always get 2 pcs because of pot holes its much cheaper to buy a hub then a whole new wheel?

Probably so, but I don't spend my money superfluously...at least not THAT much money.

They are only $1,970 with out tires that is not bad at all forged 2 pcs wheels especially volks... But you will spend $1,000's on engine mods for a car that is fast stock?? OK???....

Uh, yes, I have spent $925 (and would spend $1,970 if I had to) on power mods and am going 12.01 in the 1/4-mile. This power helps me to do well at the drag strip, in autocrosses, and while road racing. Paying double that amount for nice rims would do nothing for me except look nice. I agree that $1970 is not bad for such awesome rims (Volks rock), but then again I was talking about the rims+tint+lip+cf hood, when all of those are for looks. The combined price would be well over $3000 with no performance gain (e.g. superfluous).

different strokes for different folks... and I dont think Warrtalon has spent much on engine mods either... he's very to the point with his mods...

Well, yeah, my Rota Torques (for racing) and R-comps cost $1200 combined ($600 for each set), but I would never compare such a purchase to a badass set of Volks. I got exactly what I paid for, which was nothing flashy and nice-looking, but rather something that was the exact same size as stock, looked almost exactly like my stock MR rims, and something that wasn't expensive, since it didn't need to be.

These rims serve a different purpose; just not mine.

i bought wheels... and the increased grip from running 265s is priceless... wish i bought volks :\

but actually i've never fancied these particular wheels too much, the spokes look funny and they're not as light as other designs.
