This.

I just caught up on this thread and I had to laugh. I cannot believe we are still entertaining the ignorance of this guy. I would almost guarantee that he is the only person in the world who would consider himself an "enthusiast" who can fervently attempt to make this argument.

On one hand he says he feels just as safe in his car on Vossens as he does on Volk Racing wheels. On the other hand, he concedes that Volk is superior quality. Contradictory?

He is making the statement that Vossen is a better wheel for the G because, to him, they look better. However, to many people who actually know something about these wheels, Volk looks better. Again, looks are subjective! He says, "Volk cannot have all three titles." What does that even mean? If I think Volk looks better, I think Volk looks better. Just because he says it does not, does not make his opinion any more legitimate than mine. People have different tastes. That's it.

He is telling people to do research and saying people think Volk is superior simply because they have been around longer. Come on. He needs to take his own advice and read up on this stuff. The only facts he is spitting out are things he has learned in this thread. There is a reason you are arguing this alone, Larry. Any semi-knowledgeable enthusiast knows that Rays Engineering and Volk Racing are in a league above Vossen. It's just that simple. I don't think one person has said that Vossen wheels "suck" or that they are "crap," but it is not even a debate as to how they stack up to anything produced by Rays Engineering.

I would be surprised if this fellow has looked at a Volk wheel up close and compared it to a Vossen wheel up close.

Finally, references to girlfriends and celebrities? What? Really? What makes a celebrity a viable authority when it comes to modifying a car? He's reaching...

Of course the longer a company has been making wheels the better they are at perfecting it. So time and experience does have a factor in the quality of the wheel.

In all honesty OP why not look at other wheels? GT30s are not my cup of tea.

Try SSR or Work, Volks are great but not many designs I like from them.

Why are you telling me what I agree on? i told you Volks are better for track. When did i EVER said you should take Vossens on the track? I just said they look better.

You may need a pair of glasses my friend. You probably don't own Vossens or Volks. All you got is he say she say. I'm pretty sure all rims bend from potholes : )

Several steps behind Rays Engineering?? well DUH, Vossen is 2006 and what is ray??? 1970 or 80??? You should do the math and see how many years gap "Ray" got a headstart you fool. Obviously you care about performance and not about looks so I hope you get your Civic looking rims and enjoy them and I'll enjoy mine.

Thank you.
Don't take it personal kiddo : )
Put up the Vossen manufacturing process video to compare to Rays Engineering or shutup.

I already have a set of Work wheels as well. I may as well just get the CV3s to have as another set of rims in the collection.

Plus, how can you say Vossen quality is bad?? They are too NEW to say the quality is bad or good anyways.
Time of said company in business has nothing to do with determining the quality of said parts made. Its pretty easy, they either use category "a" for manufacturing or category "b" for said parts, etc etc.
