There are other options besides buying new Volks at 3500-4000 a set.. Used wheels can be had for a much better price.. or **** even look at Enkei wheels.. They aren't in the same category as Rays wheels (forged) but they are a quality wheel that is original and not a blatant knock offs.

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure Volks TE37 was the FIRST RIM OF IT'S KIND EVEEEERRRR.
And trust me, I understand the work that these companies go through to design and manufacture their wheels. However, I can say without a doubt they are charging a premium for them just because they are popular and desirable wheels. You're buying the name with a wheel thrown in
Enter companies like Rota....They see that there is obviously a market for replica wheels at a significant discount in pricing. It's obvious people will pay less for the look and can ignore the weight or process used to create them.
While Enkeis are a great option, it's hard to get that perfect "hella flush" look that all the kids are crazy about.
