Keep in mind when you need to replace 1, 2, or 3 wheels. Ouch!
Yeah, but replacing a cast wheel also stinks, I cant begin to tell you how many calls I get of people looking for discontinued cheap wheels like this. These manufacturers discontinue designs like I change underwear these days.

To me Volk and advan are great, but they have moved out of the price range that made them great. A TE37 is over 3k these days, and I would rather have a 3 piece wheel for that, WHY you ask? Well b/c if I ever damage that wheel, it wont cost me an arm and a leg to fix it, I can just order the damaged lip or barrel and put it on. They are many reputable cast wheel companies out their, but I wouldnt put XXR on my Z.
