You do have a valid point there, but what about Vossens on a sports car? It may be targeted towards 2 different markets, but at the end of the day.. everyone knows Volks is the better brand in terms of build quality, performance, brand recognition, and looks (subjective). As you have stated, if you want looks.. go with Vossens. If you want performance, go with Volks. But you do know looks is all subjective so it will differ from person to person, but performance is always there and can't change from person to person lol.

 

HAHAH Larry. I gotcha now.

 

Wow, just wow

 

I agree with you!

Honestly, I have seen Vossens in person and the quality seems really well but I can't say they have bad quality just because they are a fairly new line. Just because it's new doesn't mean the quality is poor. Performance and branding power def goes to Volks though.

 

Congrats on creating a hotly debated thread! :P

 

I'm not going to get into an argument over this. It's absurd. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. No one is saying Vossen is a bad wheel. However, I think you are in a very small minority of car enthusiasts if you think that any wheel from Volk resembles a "$100 rim."

In fact, I am going to go out on a limb here and boldly suggest that, all things considered - one being that looks are subjective, a moderately open-minded representative from Vossen would have a tough time putting together a compelling argument stating that Vossen is a better wheel than Volk. It's that simple... Like I said above, I think Vossen would be proud to be mentioned in the same sentence as any wheel made by Rays.

What? I don't quite understand what you are trying to say here... One of those pictures is from a car show. The rest are professional photographs, much like the photographs that Vossen posts up on this forum every day. What point are you attempting to make?

 

Any wheels can bend... No one is debating that. But Volks will take way more of a beating than Vossens any day.. And that's a fact.

And in my opinion ... BMW + Volks = GAME OVER

 

I don't give a f*ck what others know. All that matters is what I know.

I buy my wheels to suit my purposes, not so I can look cool to others.

I drive on a $3000 set of 17" rims. I must be crazy.

 

It's hard to crack an oem wheel.
You get what you pay for I guess....
They look like 100 dollar wheels because everyone copies the design. You seem to worry a lot of other's opinions of how expensive your wheels look. Mod for yourself.....

 

Why is it a fact? Just because Vossen is new to the game? lol. Have you first hand witnessed anything?? Just curious

That doesn't look bad but it made a luxury car look like a highschoolers car .. but in my opinion,

YouTube - ‪BMW M3 Convertible on 20" Vossen VVS-CV3 Concave Wheels / Rims‬‏

Vossen fits the luxury and sporty look .

 

Who in their right mind spends $3000 on 17" wheels when you can buy 20" Vossens for $2000....?

 

bought a set, cant wait for them to come.

 

I wasnt going to say anything directly to anyone in this thread but larry, get off the tip of vossens peen. There are much better companies that make forged wheels for LUXURY cars, hell, i posted some of them. if im going for luxury look, the first company I'm looking at is HRE, not Vossen. go look at the number of luxury and exotics on wheels, pretty much all on wheels that cost 5k+. Next comes weight, Vossens are not light at all. If you want to compare HRE to Vossen saying they are close, I just shake my head. and the G37 i dont consider even a luxury car, its a sports car with a luxury feel.

 

i did on my civic.. hell, they are still sitting at my house collecting dust since the civic trans is dead

 

OMGWTFBBQ how hard is it to get through your head that the manufacturing processes are different. This, coupled with other things, makes Rays/BBS/Yokohama Advan/other high end wheel stronger than cheaper wheels. No, price isn't everything. It has nothing to do with how new the company is.
