It's just very fucking hard to justify a set of authetic Volks today.
A couple years it was around 2k for a set of 4 wheels.
Ok, kinda pricey, but I'm willing to pay for it.
Now it's what, around 3k!! or an outrageous 50% premium.
Not like inflation or the cost of aluminum has gone up 50%
Seriously, even if you could afford it, it's hard for many, including myself to pay that kinda money.
Seems like a real waste.
I've purchased around 4 sets of Volks in the past, 2 of which I still have.
I'd opt for some cheaper Advans/Works/etc.
Again, 2k is fine.
Even a reasonable increase to say 2,400 I can stomach even if with reluctance, but that's my limit on wheels.
Not like it's my only hobby.
Id be really interesting to see the actual sales figures of Volks today.
I completely agree with the dude saying that it's more profitable selling knockoffs compared to Volks.
I just don't see a large market for Volks at their price-point.
And seriously, come out with something nice looking besides the TE's and CE's.
