dude, i just got my wheels yesterday (i think you posted them for me so you know what they look like). they look very similar to these Austrailian wheels except for the rivets. i opened the box and to my surprise there is about a 1 and 3/4'' lip (its almost the full length of my index finger. i am pumped... cant wait to get them on. Ill tell you, the wheels look much better in person than they do on a website. go for it man. btw, are they hypersilver?

You can't go wrong with the classic mesh style. If that's the actual size of the lip - then yes, get them!

Btw, astro's prolly looking for a good buck for his Volk's - but they're in mint shape.

what katana is to lowenhart, volkner is to volk. But the reality of it all is that half the big name companies use the same asian manufacturers as the ripoff companies. I was thinking of putting their wheels on my car, but i'm still in love with my present wheels. Quality seems nice in person. I'd say go for it.

chikai if your gonna go knock off get those Konigs somebody posted that he just recently bend. Those look aight but Im more into the spokes cause it makes the wheel look bigger. My next wheels will be also in 18" but with the spokes all the way to the lip given them a bigger than life look.IMO not only that but $1400 is really not that cheap. you can probably get some really nice used wheels for that money....really that is the best thing used nice wheels......lets hope Astro is listening hook a brotha.....Chikai need some shoes.

They just contracted me to design their catalog for 2003. The company is actually a korean family owned business who also distribute rims from other companies in the bronx. I'll post their pages of the catalog as soon as I finnish them. Pretty much all knock offs. i'm gonna walk them through the idea of getting some of my wheel designs produced.

Anybody in the NY area know shops that sell these rims? I would rather take a look at these in person first before buying.
