Rice? Lol. Every time you've ever replied to a post of ours it's been hate. Shoot me a PM if there's an issue, seriously. As far as the rice comment goes, everyone's entitled to an opinion I guess. The fact of the matter is that Volk Wheels are forged wheels made to the highest standards available. When customers purchase Volks, they purchase QUALITY and SUPERIOR design. When many people think 'rice' they typically think crap quality, crap design/knock off.
There's a big difference between a cast and forged wheel. If you don't know start brushing up on your facts before pulling the rice card. It's this difference in quality and in the manufacturing process that separates Volk Wheels from your, say Linea Corse brand/Rota or VW-Audi replica wheels etc which I know are ever-so-popular here. I understand many cast wheels are more budget minded, but at the end of the day a broken cast wheel, is just that. BTW, did you know many of your 'rice' branded wheels are cast?
Granted not all forms of casting are terrible, it all depends on the process that is used to create the wheel. For example, Advan Wheels, Work Wheels and even many BBS model wheels are cast. The manufacturing process will make or break a wheel.
There's an obvious reason why SuperGT, Formula Nippon, BTCC, F1 and ALMS cars use Rays/Volk wheels, which might I add are made to the EXACT same tolerances as their street applications.
Any questions about how Volks are made? Please refer to this video for reference.
