seriously.

 

+1 for Mach III. They hooked me up with a set of TE37 Time Attacks well after they stopped shipping them to the US. Of course, I still had to wait months for them to come over from Japan. They are well worth the wait.

 

thanks everyone! i think its cool volk te37 can bring us all together.

tommy. i LOVED seeing those at BAM09. its nuts to think of where those wheels have been. hahaha

as soon as things slow down at work (damn snowmobile season) i will give these guys a call.

Damn. After reading a couple posts mentioning the cost of Volk wheels, I felt I should post up since I have owned a few sets of Rays wheels. Main advice for you OP, fitment aside (that belongs in a different discussion), shop around. I highly recommend you call and/or email a ton of authorized US distributors of Rays Manufacturing products, and get price quotes on whatever model and size wheel you decide on. It is obviously great to support our local guys (which I do, and have done on a very large scale with the scope of my modifications), but wheels in particular can vary greatly with respect to pricing. When I hear people mention $4,000 with regards to a set of Volk wheels for a Subaru, I am just shocked (granted that figure was for a set of 19" wheels for a Nissan, which is a far cry from the size and offsets used on our cars unless you have a wide-body). OP: you mentioned your sizes, ie: 17 or 18, even up to a 9.5" or 10" width the prices you find should hover around $2,900, possibly up to $3,200 (those prices include shipping btw). It is still a lot of money, but definitely don't expect $4,000+ for a set of wheels unless you're looking at 19's. Make sure to post pictures of your wheels when you receive them, and once mounted!

 

I got my TE37 in 19"s for less than 3k. The markup on Volks are ridiculous. Like Vodka said, calling every shop is your best bet.

screw the volks, Rota Grid all the way. Just put "Rays'" stickers on it if you really want them lol
