Default VOLK TE37 Lightweight Racing Wheels - Group Buy

Volk Racing Wheels are Japan's premier racing and competition wheel. A true 1 piece forged wheel, these wheels have won many championships in JGTC, Cup Racing, and more. The TE37 is a 6 star wheel that is extremely strong through its forging process yet one of the lightest wheels available in its size class. This wheel can be seen on many Time Attack cars such as S2000, STI, EVO, RX7, Supra, and more.

Vivid Racing is one of the largest distributors of Volk Racing Wheels through Mackin Industries (Volk USA). Volk USA has given us the opportunity to offer to the Porsche 996 and 996TT racing crowd, a limited edition wheel for those drivers wanting the best, strongest, and lightweight wheel to compete with.

The TE37 standard colors are bronze and white. Vivid Racing will be doing limited edition sets for track competitors (Street Guys Welcome) in Gloss Black. We can only do one color and must have a minimum of 8 customers committed. The wheels will be made to order in Japan and take 90 days before delivery. Once we receive 5 confirmed orders, we will order the 10 sets needed for the special color.

The Volk Racing TE37 Wheels are available in the follow sizes:
18x8.5 50mm offset
18x9 46mm offset
18x10.5 40mm offset
18x11 40mm or 59mm offset

Wheels clear standard brakes and can fit over the ceramic brakes. A small 3mm spacer may be needed for big brake upgrade customers.

The front 18" wheels weight about 16lbs each and the rear 18" wheels weight about 19lbs each.

I have searched through many different wheels including SSR, BBS, IForged, OZ, and have found must of these 18" setups to weigh about 21lbs and 25lbs respectively. This is the wheel for you Road and Drag Racers!

Price on these wheels is $2750 SHIPPED for a set. We require a NON refundable 50% deposit if you choose to order them. We can also do tire packages with street tires or race tires from Toyo RA1, Nitto NT01, Michelin Pilot Cups, and Hoosiers.

Again, we have these available for the 996 C2/C4, GT3, and Turbo Model. These are not cheap wheels, these are extremely high quality and race proven. For further information on Volk Wheels, visit www.rayswheels.co.jp

Here are some pictures of the standard Bronze wheel. I have included a picture of a Gloss Black wheel to see how they would look.
