Default VOLK Gram Lights 57C

Does anybody have VOLK Gram Lights on your accord? I have a 1993 EX and have been thinking of buying a set of these in Gunmetal. I can get them for 272.00 per wheel in 17X7.5. Is this a good deal?

lol man i've posted my pics like 100,000 times....i love my volks...they are forged, stronger than any other wheel out there because of it, and only weigh 14lbs each in 17x7.5...i dont fear potholes or curbs because these things are invincible....i spent 2800 rims and tires, that includes tax, shipping, mounting and balancing and shit...that last pic is the bronze finish...i got black...i am however thinking of refinishing in bronze

can u post a pic of what a $600 per wheel looks like? lol, check the volk, real racing hart(not the EVO) website or advan, haha. my wheels are retail easily for $600, its not a big deal. and ODUB, what u said, is NOT true entirely, forged is strong, but u act like volks are invisible, when they actually bend easier in my opinion. the nicer volks, like the GT-Ns or the GT-Ps, cuz their multipiece and light, and have those lips(some lips are deeper like the deep dish) on them which are not as strong in that area, and are very easy to bend, they bend if u hit a pothole, and this is true of any multipiece wheel, cuz the way there put 2gther. ever notice alot of multipiece racing harts, advan, volks, etc, have bends in the wheel, there not perfectly circular. while those cheap brand wheels or peoples knockoffs, are fine, as long as u dont hit a huge @$S pothole, and i assume the people with relatively more expensive wheels dont drive a lot(i try not to, and take my gfs car), of fear of them being jacked in shady places or cuz tires cost alot, i have 225/40/18 pirelli p7000s and they costs quite a bit, while people with watever wheels, drive it everywhere relatively.

im not talkin about deep dish volks, im talkin about mine...and i never said my rims are "invisible" but i do believe they are invincible in most cases...and as for that not driving alot...shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttt t, the main reason i got these wheels was to use them...why buy wheels that strong and that light to sit in a garage? i got them because i like to autocross and drive like a madman and i needed a bigger rim for handling that could take the abuse and that would be light enough to where it wouldn't slow the car down...my rims only weigh 14lbs each in 17x7.5, that's the main reason i bought them, and i've hit potholes, ran over a curb (one at 40 by accident haha) and dont have so much as a scratch, let alone a dent...i bought my wheels to perform, not to sit pretty...that's like putting a turbo kit on a car and driving slow....

the volk gram lights come in a variety of models. in that most of the gram lights aren't forged. they're just cast. but should still be quality rims since rays makes them.
