Volk rims

Interested in volk rims. Are they all light weight? Te37s are cool but only in white Can I get them in silver?

2g's is alot for rims but one must pay for performance i guess.....hmmm maybe SSR integrals? Any clue as to how light they are?

I'm ordering my Volks tomorrow. The 17s are maybe 15 pounds and the 18s are 16-17 pounds. I'm getting them in silver but it's gonna take close to 3 months to get them. They also come in bronze and white.

I've been quoted for $523 a rim for 18s by Mach III in SF. go to www.machiii.net and check them out.

I can assure you guys that what you see is not the SE37K, but the SE37A, which is more expensive than the SE37K.

Volk Racing Wheels are wet dreams, but you gotta remember that they're pretty pure high-performance/race wheels, which is to say that people that actually know the worth of the Volks will snicker if you oversize them for no better reason than for looks (instead of fitting them for brake clearance and optimal sidewall), or mount them on cars that aren't the lightweight high-performance machines that the wheels were designed to enhance. They're "right" on a S2000, but not on a SC400.

Besides just about all the SSRs, an often overlooked lightweight rim is the OZ Racing Superleggera.

(Took too long to post; somebody pointed it out already. :P )

The Integrals are 17 lbs/rims. Pretty light as well. They come in a 45mm offset in a 17 x 7 size for the CL-S.

Whoa, thanks for all the responses!

infamuz,
yeah hopefully in the summer we'll see I don't know if i want to go for rim/tire combo or headers/res? I'll be doing the suspension so i think maybe headers/tires? It all depends on how much money i can save.


Oh you know didn't go to the .jp site because if figured that it'd be in japanese and althought i know the language if forgotten alot of it so i just went to the rays egineering website and they only listed bronze and white. I need silver or polish wheels

Do yourself a favor and do not get anything less than a 7.5" width or you will experience all the same problems as stock when you go to put tires on them!

oh for sure. I wanted to stay stock size but i've realized that traction woes can be aided immensely by going with a wide rim 7.5 all the way

I also hear the Center Line "Impulse" wheel only weighs 11.3 lbs in 17", 12.3 lbs. in 18", and 13.5 lbs. for the 19's. They look bad ass as well. (Sorry no pic...if you got to www.centerlinewheels.com they have a pic )

I think people are doing searches and since every search I've done so far has been missing huge gaps in time...people are pulling up threads w/o looking at the date.

BTW: I love Rays Engineering. http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/
