Volk racing's forged spoke -- shop in Orange County?

As someone looking for a set of lightweight wheels, the following style by Rays caught my eye:


They remind me of the M3 stock wheels. However, just like any wheel, you never know how they're going to look. I'm also interested in this A-spec styled wheel:


Does anyone know of a store in Orange County, CA that STOCKS various volk styles so I can see them in person next to my TSX?

You must be swimming in $$$ to be looking at those rims!!! If you didn't know already, those rims run around $1,300.00 USD a piece. It's due to them having both a forged aluminum rim AND forged magnesium spokes. IMO, baddest rims VOLK makes...

Yeah, but those styles seem to bring down the TSX into civic territory, IMO. Since the line of the TSX were designed for the European markets, I feel the Euro styles like BBS (or the VR's shown above) would be the best fit. Just my taste...

rota's are good for racing, but I wouldn't be caught dead w/ them on everyday.

If you're still interested in any Volk rims, Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim usually stock some. And they can put it next to your car for you to see before you make the purchase. http://www.wheelwarehouse.com/ Most of the guys there are quite good, but there was one guy that really pissed me off. I forgot his name and I don't know how he looks like because I spoke to him on the phone. I almost bought my Volks from them, but because of that guy, I went to another place.

LOL. Yep, I've known about WW since the late 80's...

Although I usually only go to them for alignments and a spare rim (after bending one ), Brian Archer has been good with me. He actually calls you back, isn't cocky, and is pretty knowledgable about wheels.

I've encountered a few pricks and simply moved on to another salesguy when I've visited.
