Why are Volk wheels so expensive?
Unlike cheaper replicas, Volk wheels maintained their value, backed by rigorous certifications like JWL, VIA, and TUV. They proved their strength not just on the track but in demanding street environments across America, reinforcing their reputation as the original, genuine forged wheel. Some key differences between real wheels and fake wheels are: Construction | Often enough, most real wheels are either forged, rotary forged, or multi-piece construction. Replica wheels will often replicate the design, but in a low-pressure cast or gravity cast construction.Are replica wheels as strong as genuine wheels?

They are much less safe.
