did you buy a spare cheap wheel? Chances are good that they'll be out of production when you need a replacement, leaving you to pay $150 for a wheel repair to your local specialist, same as if you would have kept the Volks

Check out the SSR Type C wheels at TireRack.com. 9lbs in 15x7", 11.5 in 16x7". They are very sturdy, and priced great compared to BBS, for example.

These are NOT forged. They are low pressure cast.

Replica wheels are forgeries.
