As much as I hate wheels reps, lots of ppl have gotten these and they're made with pretty much the same quality as actual volks and are almost carbon copies. I understand your hesitation, but in my opinion if you have a grand to spend on reps then that means you will have more funds soon go for the legit ones

I wouldn't do it - you're just being a poser, especially if you throw on Volk decals (please don't). Just find a nice set of not so expensive rims, like Linea Corse.

If you know your not going to keep your wheel that long. Then why not better to spend 1 g the 4g then take a hit on trying to sell them. But there alway used volk for around 2g if you wait

I heard they are good, but they are not pretty much the same. Volk and BBS wheels have a special way to make their wheels forged. But yeah, you should go with legit wheels.

Linea Corse are knock offs from T1s and LMs

id rock those or the ones from JLB motorsports. they look good and when u bend em its cheap to replace. i bent 2 wheels by rays engineering in less than 4 months. it happens. and it hurts less when its not a expensive *** wheel that takes a long time to replace if its not repairable.

Get them if they're in your budget, but don't front!
