who cares if they're knock offs, not everyone can afford volks and besides not all the volk owners race with volks on anyways.

Re: R1 wheels (SoSoJeff)
I understand not everyone can afford 2-3000 bucks depending on rims. But thats why you can get used rims. and I don't know if volk stole anything from anybody. But if they did they made them alot better.

Re: R1 wheels (aznbo1626)
Remember...Volk is Japans leading manufacturer or Racing wheels...Some of the Weds sport wheels look like the Racing Hart cp10's. I would rather see somebody purchase a set of Rotas.....Instead of purchasing a set of copied wheels....Rotas are popular know for thise that want a good lightweight wheel...I have a set on one of my cars and they are copies of the Mugen RNR...But the RSX will wear Volks...after I get the money.

Im selling a set of these rims 17's 5x114.3 They are bronze with a polished lip. They look like volks, however, there are hundreds of mesh looking wheels. BBS, 5zigen, basically all the major brands have wheels that look similar to these. You could either pay 2000 for some new volks or pay 1600 for some used volks, or you can pay 450.00 for mine. haha
Spending money is all relative though, if you could afford the volks, buy them, its just that some people can't afford to pay that much for rims.
here is my thread, you can check them out in gold and in a real life photo https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=721437

some.
my R1 Spoom knockoffs have lasted over 2000 track miles and are very lightweight.
no problems to date with quality at all.

Re: R1 wheels (Doctor CorteZ)
The lunchbox was "original" (you didnt see any other of them on track, did you?)
That didnt stop it from being a piece of ****!
And if you tell me "well thats just dumb", well spending a ton of money on bling for a car is dumb, IMHO.

Re: R1 wheels (Doctor CorteZ)
Not really..If you can find another RSX with Blitz 01's in a 5 lug pattern....then ill shut up.....
and plus i've heard of Rota's wheels breaking....I wouldnt trust my car to roll on shitty rims like that and end up messing up more than just a wheel....
But i guess if you have to get some wheels that LOOK expensive...that's your decision...By all means go ahead.....

Important word highlighted. Which means you dont have any personal experience in the matter.
I have seen them hold up to more abuse than any wheel should handle, and keep on going.

Me or Jamie did not buy wheels because they look expensive. We bought them because they are cheap and lightweight. Thats all....
