OZ wheels are better thank Flik's...thats for sure. But I have seen and known people riding on Fliks and I must say, I think the hating on them isn't quality so much as reputation. I can say the Fliks did have some finish issues but never structural that i have seen.
In the end though, its more impressive to show off your BBS's or OZ's than Fliks to people, this i agreed.... I'd like to say I will have CH's on my GTI but the reality is that 2400-3000 for wheels/tires is not a realistic thing for me to achieve. If you have that kind of money than I say do BBS, but I would say most of us do not.
The Fliks get a bad rap, but I can tell you...its mostly becuase of the fact they aren't BBS/OZ.
