i'm totally buying these to piss everyone off. but i would definitely take the stickers off. (and get them in black not puke gold)
i love how people post these, when those were obviously involved in some form of automobile accident. and im sure forged rays would have withstood the 80mph blow from that semi as well
besides the one subaru where his rotas actually broke from a bad casting ON THE TRACK, and the countless pictures of HRE's (yes, HRE wheels suck) failing on the track, 99% of broken wheel photos are from accidents. not to take away from its humor, but it's unfair to label something like that in the 'knockoffs are shit' category because someone drifted into a curb in which no wheel would have survived. (yes, a forged wheel might have not split but it would still have bent and possibly cracked)

A standard issue Tampa pothole did quite a number on one of my Ray's. The shittiest part was, since it was a forged wheel with a unique coating, no local repair shop could fix it, so I had to buy a new one

*shrug* Us ford guys have been using cheap OEM knock off rims for over a decade now it seems. I never hear much complaing from anyone. I dont think ive ever heard anyone cracking them and breaking them from simple shit either.
I thin putting some Vorks would confuse a lot import ppl on a lot levels.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I've got some "real" stickers from when I used to rep for Volk, if anyone needs them for their fakes. lol Anyone that knows that wheel knows it doesn't have a polished 1/16" lip. :0
