Not to sound like a noob in this department, but you would think there is some kind of pattern protection on the Volk designs no? I mean I can see a company ripping off the overall style with some differences so it's not so exact, but to make an almost exact replica just seems wrong, no?

The quality is very good and they look like the real thing for much less than your bank account can manage. Most of us buy rims mainly for the looks. Some buy for the bragging rights in terms of brand name.

Not bad knock-offs.
Glad they didn't copy the Phantom Editions.

Umm... Okay dude. Then don't buy it. What's your point? By just saying they're ugly your saying Volks and all the rims they imitate are ugly too because they look identical.

I read most of the posts at this link over on my350z. Geez they are rough on each other and vendors. It was like being hooked on a poor soap opera.....I couldn't stop reading. I think we all owe our moderators a thanks for not letting this forum deteriorate to that level. Very ugly.

Looks like this wheel from Rota is not coming out until early 2009. Only 19" and doesn't look like offsets close to what is needed for G37 for aggressive stance. Appears they are targeting the higher volume Z market. That is all I learned in over 200 posts.....

They look like the Volks, but you cant get them in 20's, and seems like the offsets suck.
