Nice thread. Wheels are my thang for sure. I like to collect them; for no real reason at all.
I'm pretty partial to Volk monoblocks. At one point I had the quad-fecta of Monoblocks(CE28N, TE37, RE30, SE37K) but sold my RE's to Noran last year. Still have the other 3 sets. Also a set of SW388 which I'll be rocking soon. The Desmond design is as timeless as they come. I spent a lot of time browsing through ICB's passed wheels they sold. Lots of cool JDM stuff in there. RC Stark II's and III's are awkwardly awesome. I'd love to find a set in 16x7 or 8. Love Borbets, love ATS Cups, love BBS, love Works. So many wheels I'd love to have, so little money
As for the real vs fake debate; it's ok as long as you're not faking the funk. RAYS decals on Grids. Fuck that shit makes me mad. I've had a couple sets of Rota's and they were fine. One GT3 was bent right outta the box though so I just got a quick discount from the seller at the time. You get what you pay for so as long as you're realistic in your expectations you'll be fine. If you are just going for a look then by all means buy what you can afford. I like strength and lightweight so I choose Volk and they have never disappointed
