I love your wheels! And love the real vs fake controversy. Redo your driveway so you can drop it! LOL

you have Megan in your sig, so you have something fake for performance

I'm not hating on megan cuz i got a megan part too performs well and has held up great.

Most IXs I see are going for over 20k. Are you saying you paid over 20k for your wheel and tire setup? If so you are a moron. You should've come to me, I would've sold you the same setup for half that. Think of it, with the money you saved you could've bought a clue.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in the same boat: Can i justify the price of a new toxicfab exhaust manifold?? Nope. Would buying one be putting my money where it counts?? Nope. BUT, I'm not going to make custom sticker pretending like it's over priced and not worth people's money when it's really just me who can't justify the expense.

One more thing, if it wasn't for companies like VOLK, Rota wouldn't have amazing styles to copy. Copyrights exist so companies like Rota don't shut down one's like VOLK. Let's hope the lack of them in this industry doesn't do just that. Companies like Rota can hugely stifle progress. (IMO lol )
+1 could not have said it better.

Nice, i like the point you're making with the stickers... paying thousands of dollars for wheels is a waste.. I agree with you, spread the funds around.. put it in your engine

i agree with CARLOVEX....i think its funny and couldnt help but to laugh. its a joke, but companies like volk are the reason rota exists and furthermore help ppl that may not have the cash get wheels they've always wanted that are out of their price range. I'm sure if everyone had infinite amount of money...no one would buy rotas.

bump for a different look and comical thread
