Where can I find this rim?

there is nothing wrong with importing rims, that used to be what you would have to do to get rims no one else had. i was jus saying that cuz now its easier to get volks and other rims from japan and how much cheaper they are now then it was like 4-6 years ago...and besides unless you have a show car i think its kinda pointless to get volks or other highend rims, why risk getting them jacked or damaged especially here in so cal, the jacking capital of the world...

IMHO its not pointless to get "highend" rims, you get what you pay for.
if that's what you want, go for it. how someone spends their money is their business.

Agreed. By that same standard, its not worth it to get high end cars.

I searched to death but volk racing se37a doesn't look like the top picture. The spokes pattern is different. If anyone knows what those are I'd really appreciate it. Thank yall

the real ones are gonna be lighter of course. not sure by how much. i woulda weighed my rims, but they put the tires on for me, so i have no way of telling.

seems to me that no matter what you post someone always has something to say about it. I still think that if you live out here in so cal it is kinda pointless to get high end rims only cuz you run the risk of getting them jacked. How do i know this? I can't even count the people i know who have had their volks, racing harts, 5Zigen's, SSR, Blitz, Andrew's racing, etc.....rims jacked while at school, work, or other places. If you have the money and you don't drive your car a lot, of course you get what you pay for, better rims cost more money. i dunno how it is in other parts of the country, but i can say that i would think twice especially down here....but that's just me.

i agree w/ hks, but since you're in tx, i dont think its too much of a factor as much as it is here. if you got the money, just get the real ones. might as well do it right the first time right? plus they're probably a lot lighter. good luck though with whatever you choose
