that I have no idea yet haha I don't expect them to be cheap but lets look at it from not a price stand point

Well I think they'll look great on the cr-z def comes down to having coilovers and really getting the stance on point. Sometimes wheels fail to look good bc the stance isn't right.

They're o.k., it's a style we've seen a ton of and maybe too much of IMO

definitely they seem to look better mounted than by themselves, I guess we'll see as more pictures start rolling up

8.5X18 at 15.5 lbs is impressive, but how are they made? How will they stand up to street use? Extra light wheels might be great for the track, but will potholes turn that thing into an expensive paper weight?

The design is a little weird in my opinion with the 2 different split spokes combined together; but doesn't look bad. As said before, price will also be important for me as well. Volk makes great stuff so if they back it as a street wheel and they aren't priced too high, they would be a really good option.

look like RE30's and SE37's mixed. I like them mounted and the weight is nice.

Viffermike · 11-02-2011, 01:18 AM

Anybody else notice that the spoke pattern mirrors the VW logo?

It's no wonder they mounted these on a GTI for SEMA!

My vote: no, except on a Vee Dub!

As soon as I saw them I instantly thought of SE37's. Volk has a lot of similar patterns with different names. I like them.
