What happened to the volks that were on the car?

Still on the car. Going to refinish them over the next couple of years.

But not trying to detract from what he's doing for you, but there are a lot of options out there. I know I've said this a bunch of times already, but I really just do not like Sportmax at all.

Unless he won't allow that, haha.

Pretty much.

Not to mention that would be a slap in his face like saying that what he is going to do isnt good enough for me.

There will be lots of options in there. I know where you're coming from, but I agree 100% with Troy. Even if your dad is buying them, why not just take the $$ he's putting up and just set it aside for the later purchase?

Unless he won't allow that, haha.

I didnt realize your favorite was even available. I figured you purchased all them and stockpiled them all for yourself.

About 20. So I've got to get busy.

Easy there Mr. Hole. Don't target me on this subject, there's others that agree completely with me. But you know what, fuck it, its your car, do what YOU want to do with it and fuck the haters. If you ask for opinions of course you are going to get a variety of opinions. If my opinion isn't what you wanted to hear, then I'm sorry. I say if you already know what you want (that seems to be the case here when it comes to your wheels) then just go for it man. But, I'm a believer of getting what you want when it comes to getting what you REALLY want in the end. If, in the end, you want some SSRs or Volks or whatever, then don't waste the money on the Rotas you aren't going to keep. That will just delay the purchase of the "baller" wheels. This is how I personally see it.

I agree with you in all these aspects Troy and I was just playin. But again, my father is getting me these wheels for Xmas and I figured what the heck? I would put extra $$ towars the very Baller wheels we have covered but I got a kid graduating this year and one the next. That is sucking me dry ight now so I dont have the disposable cash till after this is all said and done. Not to mention I have a few small debts I need to take care of to boot. That's pretty much why I am going this route. Make sense?

Probably some SSR Professors Volk GTP's or some Work Meisters . Besides my dads buying them for me and said I have a budget of $XXX.XX to deal with so Im doing the best I can with the amount he is willing to spend. It would be nice if I didnt milk all he's willing to spend either. So, that's why I have come to the choices I have so far. Besides Faber already has FN01's. The Volks I already have are going to get refinished but I'm doing them myself and I know that will take a while so here I sit.

why not get d2's then if u like the works and ssrs?

Cuz, they have way too much "bow" to them for lack of a better term. the spokes stick out too far compared to the ssr's and the works.

and why are you so hell bent on making your car look like a 18 yr old punk kid owns it.

you know there are wheels out there that are cheap and will make your car look like someone acually put some thought into the way it looks.

In my eye's the 5Zigens are borderline played out in this area. Noone in this area has either the Sportmax's/XXR's or the Rotas. And Im not a big fan of the FN01's on the Nissans.

That's because North Dakota is about 4 years BEHIND the trend.

Oddly enough, Faber was right on schedule with the 5Zigens. Sportmaxes have been so played out already, which is why they changed the name to XXR.

Please, please please do not go with the Sportmaxes. It's one thing if it's a decent quality wheel like the FN01RC, but that's not the case.

I won't harass you about taking the Volks off, but I will do everything I can to convince you NOT to go with Sportmax.
