Import Wheels

[jv982]

I am sure people will find this blasphemous since these are import (rice burner) wheels, but I really like the Volk Racing TE37s, and I would love to put them on my chevelle. They are 1pc forged and are pretty light weight. The 19x8.5 weigh 19lbs and the 19x12s weigh 22lbs. Unfortunately it I don't think these wheels are available to the public in our bolt pattern or in accommodating offsets. They seem to be really big with the Porsche and other import guys.

Any leads on there 2 and 3 piece wheels? Ive seen a few volk and work wheels on domestic cars but once again they seem to be the exception. Any dealers on here?

Yeah... I stumbled upon that site... but they don't have any info for that wheel. Correct me if I am wrong here, but if Corvette offsets are not ideal for our cars.

[jv982]

I forgot to mention... I am kinda partial to Volk Racing because that is my last name :seizure:

[slowcamaro]

Typically not, but it depends on alot of things. Measure measure measure.

I almost bought a 1996 R33 Skyline that was white with White TE37's on it back in 2000.. I just refused to pay the 25,000 dollars on top of buying the car to legalize it here in the states..

for years the common misconception is that volk, work, and similar wheel companies only manufacturer for "import" bolt patterns/offsets, but this is not true. contact jim at work wheels for pricing.

Thats funny!!:rotfl: I don't think I would go as far as to call it a piece though, seeing as it was king of the ring.

Now I am not familiar with Work Wheels, but it appears that they are just blingy wheels :bsjerk:, whereas Volk racing has been deep seeded into racing for many years. I didn't notice any of the Work Wheels to be forged. Maybe I am mistaken?

[Shiro666]

Work offers Forged one, two and three piece wheels.

They are typically regarded as highly as Volks. I see them on Porsche's quite a bit.

I would love some Emotions for my Camaro, but I was told that Work only offers custom offsets in the two and three piece wheels unless you order 25.

[mone]

I have memberships on many import and VIP sites and Ill make it clear..I can get you any of those wheels in whatever bolt pattern and offset without a problem.Work makes some quality wheels no doubt

[TonyL]

I thought Work built "Volk" wheels. That they were just different brands offered by the same vendor. No?

If not, the one is stealing designs from the other. Either way, I've LONG loved the look of so called "import" wheels on muscle cars.

HartRacing wheels are SICK.

there was a article where they proved that the GTR time around the ring was wrong and it started to time 2 second later or something like that..

Where could one find info on that? example 1 pc forged TE37 in bolt circle and offset for a chevelle

No Volk wheels are made by Rays Engineering in Japan

[TonyL]

You are correct, Jv. I got my brands mixed up.

[Shiro666]

I stand corrected, Mone

Work's are avalible in custom bolt patters and offsets. I was misled by an ill informed import dude.

I will order some of those emo's. much cooler than emo music.

Lol I'd love to put coil overs & some Leon Hardiritt's or Fabulous wheels on the family car (y33 Q45), but my wife drives it more than me & I'd hate to see what she could do to some 19's.

I actualy picked up a set of Motegi wheels. They are only the rice side of american racing, but for half the price. Most import wheels are priced quite well, and a few look killer.

[mone]

Yea Motegi is a cheap wheel but they are not trash or anything.Check out a few sites like rbmotoring and memoryfab you will find tons of nice wheels with crazy offsets and good prices

[jv982]

Can someone point me to the forged Work wheels... I think I might just be blind

[jv982]

Nevermind... It appears as though many of their wheels are forged, they just don't specify on all of them
