Volk 18's

I was looking at the Volk LE37t in gunmetal. They cost like 2000 but weigh like 17 pounds. Do you guys think that they are worth the price?

Here is a picture of them on RSX

Its hard to say if their worth the price, cause you might be able to find something that looks alot like it. I will say that they are friggin awesome.

I dont think they're worth it...not for daily driving where they'd be exposed to the elements every day (especially in the winter if you leave them on). They're really sweet rims but no matter how cool of a rim it is, all rims are still exposed and in danger of scratches from pavement, curbs, etc.

rijowysock...do you drive daily on $4000 rims? if so then what are your secrets?

I'm totally with you here...

it'd be so much better to spend half the price and with the other half you could a ton of stuff...1g would get you well on your way to an awesome body kit, a much improved suspension set-up, etc.
