Wish I could, man...300 is a great price for those. I just had to drop 500 on the deposit for custom 17x9 and 17x13's, though. And I won't even see them for a handful of months! T-T

Just really disappointed that the debate is still going with the "you get what you pay for," theme, but no one's posted any data that gives a wheel-for-wheel comparison which supports that claim. Equivalent to "I paid "six figures" for my wheels, so they are safer. REALLY! ...Just look at my receipt!"
The only failed wheel shown, is made by a very well-known name in the wheel business (and there are no specifics to why it really failed or what was being done, which caused the damage).
I guess I'd prefer that some people not make global statements about us being cheap (especially when they can't provide real data to support their claims) . Maybe until that proof is provided, we can agree to use the word "practical," instead of "cheap," when referring to MKIII owners who buy inexpensive wheels.... Is that too much to ask?

I dont think you can argue that a multi-section, forged rim such as Volk or CCW is a better and safer rim than an cast unit. Your right, there is a cost associated with a true performace product versus a standard consumer grade product. I agree that most cast rims wont fail under normal conditions but a built MKIII or MKIV is not what I would consider "a normal condition". I took the middle road and was patient and bought a set of used Volks off of a MKIV on SF. I spent a little over a grand and I now have a true performace rim at a slightly higher cost of ownership than a consumer grade rims. Just an option that should be considered. I agree with you that even if you have disposable income, you should be frugal and wise in your spending. Having owned cast rims all of these years and defending their purchase, I honestly could never go back.
