does anyone know what wheel is in the upper left hand portion of the bottom picture - the one with 14 spokes - i think that would be nice on a 3G anthracite in 18 or 19.

thanks

 

thats a new forged volk wheel, along the lines of the progressiv, the wheel below it is in the same line, i havent heared any word about either model since those pictures were taken..

 

hey lokius,

DPE is 3pcs forged??

just wondering , thought they were only 2 pcs.

 

no they are only 2 piece, they dont make 3 piece, they advertise it, and remember the rivets are plastic...

 

Anyone know the name of the rim on the bottom right corner..... right under the TE37... those are pretty tite

I AM FROM PA WAS INTERESTED IF YOU COULD TELL ME WHERE DID YOU BUY YOUR VOLK RIMS I HAVE THE SAME CAR MYCAR IS A 6 SPEED DO THE WHEELS HAVE SPACERS DO THEY VIBRATE THANKS IN ADVANCE

 

HEY STOP SHOUTING...

Please...

Thanks

Ciao

 

No vibrations or spacers i bought the wheels at Group5 Motorsports in San Diego

 

Every thread I have read about this car says the wheels are GUN METAL and they were NOT special ordered. I can only find them in silver. Anyone know where I may find them in gunmetal?

 

www.vividracing.com ? I'm just guessing though.

edit:
I just checked their site. They do offer it in gunmetal.

 

This thread needs to be updated.

If any members would like to post a picture of their acura sitting on Volks please feel free to do so....

 

 

RAYS Engineering/ Volk Racing Progressiv Spokes
Gunmetal/ 19x8.5 +35 offset Toyo Proxes T1-R 245/35/19
Tein S-Tech springs - No rubbing

If anyone has these on a 3G Athracite TL please post it I am thinking of getting them.

 

What lugnuts and/or wheel locks are members using with VOLKS? (size/brand)

I'll be part of the VOLK family really soon, but I have to make up my mind on which one of these 19" x 8.5" (+35 to +43 offset) rim's in gunmetal or black I will be buying. They will go on a 2004 NBP auto.

Volk SF Challenge Diamond Black


Volk SF Challenge Silver


Volk GTV Diamond Black or Gunmetal


Volk GT-AV Black or Gunmetal


Here are more pictures of Volks on diff ride's if any one's interested: http://www.wheelsdirectonline.com/vo...olkgallery.htm

AWESOME RIDES & WHEEL'S GUYS!

 

I'm using the RAYS ENG. extended lugnuts in black. Lightweight.

 

Does anyone know the style of the Black Volk Rim?

 

A different style here, haven't seen it in this thread. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one in the world with these, for sure on a TL.

Volk CE28n bronze 19" x 8" 42mm offset. Toyo Proxes T1R - 245/35-19

 

 

Are you referring to the SF Challenge?

Volk has a number of rims offered in black.

 

Sailor....those look good man...that is the first redondo TL ive seen sitting on Volks. Its the third TL ive seen sitting on CE28s. And its the second TL ive seen sitting on bronze CE28s.

 

No the SF Challenge. Its the pic of the VOLK RIM on the other page? Do you know what style that is. I think those would look good on a black TL? Don't you think?


Thanks

 

aaahhh yes!...i think you're referring to the LE37T in glossy black w/ polished lip.

I have been waiting for someone with a NBP to order a set of those in 19s. I have a feeling they will look mighty fine!

 

LE37T's on E46 BMW

 

Well I finally got my rims & detailed my car...

Volk SF Challenge/ Diamond Black/ 19"x8.5"/ +34 offset/ 245/35/19 tires

 

Volk Racing SF Challenge in gold
18 x 7.5 +45 offset

had them on for about 2 years now still love them

 

I'm about to order the GT-7s in mercury silver. This will be the longest 90 days ever.

 

excellent choice, that is exactly what I will be getting.


I saw these the other day.. not bad..

 

Very nice additions...thanks for posting the pics and specs.

xristos... is your TL dropped on springs yet?

shinybluecls... i'm a big fan of your CL..i enjoy looking at the pictures from various photoshoots of your car.

The new Volk Racing GT-S looks good in person...simple and clean 5 spoke design.

 

My TL sits on stock suspension. I commute to work about 100 miles per day and worry about lowering it. Unless I benefit from more comfort & peformance in lowering my car, I will stay stock in the meanwhile.

I don't know if keeping it stock with the new rims will cause more wear & tear on my stock suspension.

I f I do decide to lower it, what is the usual upgrade??? New springs only or springs & shocks as a package.

 

I guess part of the equation depends on how much you're looking at spending on a set of springs.

For your daily grind thats a lot of miles in one day. It's all in what you value...either a smoother ride with the stock suspension or better handling with aftermarket springs.

I would suggest going with the tein s-tech springs if you decide to lower the car. No aftermarket shocks are neccessary.

 

when i saw the Official RAYS ENGINEERING/VOLK RACING wheel thread, i thought it was about a group buy or something of the sort since it had official in it. But anyways is there anyway if we get enough ppl interested in a certain model that we'd be able to get a group buy from rays?

 

Good Luck!

 

I'm really starting to think of putting a set of Volk 18's on my Mustang...

Volk GT-AV Black would look really really good


I have always liked the gold wheels as well, maybe some gold SF Challenge, Progressive Spokes, or maybe the new GT-S.

If I could special order the Volk Progressive Spokes in 18 inch staggered in Gold, I would do it right now

 

Im going to be part of the volk racing family myself, purchased 19x8.5 +34offset gunmetal sf-challenge for my 04 satinsilver 3g tl, and I wondering if thats the best offset for my tl....its an auto but I still want it to clear brembos incase I get an upgrade and if possible to get the lip as big as possible without having the rim stick out of the car too much...also do you guys get cambers/struts?

 

+34 won't clear the AT calipers (or I highly doubt it will)...it definitely won't clear a BBK. If you're looking to clear a BBK, you'll need an offset in the 40's.

 

hmmm thanks for your reply, but If you look on page 1 and 3 , the black tl's have the diamond black sf-challenges and they have the +34 offset...and since I don't see the brembo kits on the 3rd page tl Im assuming its AT? I thought only manual comes with the kit...but i dunno...so help? will the +34 off set fit on the AT? and on the bbk?

 

chill_dog, Offset doesn't really tell if the wheels will clear BBK or not. For instance, my wheels are 35 offset and they clear the Brembo calipers with probably 1/2" or 3/4" clearance.

Jshmak, if you're ordering Volk Racing, make sure you order the wheels with High or Super High Pad to clear the BBK. But the trade off is the width of the lip. High or Super High Pad wheels have less lip than Medium or Low Pad ones do.

Medium Pad wheels clear the AT calipers.

35 offset, give or take 2 mm will be fine for the car.

 

260hp thanks for the info, really appreciate, so I should probably get a high pad then since I may upgrade to brembo kit in the future...and for resell value purposes^^I hope the lip isn't reduced too much
