Default Ray's / Volk Racing G12 Centerlock Fitment For Sale. *Limited Availability*

Hey! I am now a "Small Business Partner" Welcome to my first official business ad. Contact pete@trackrat.com to purchase.

As luck would have it, I bought the only five sets of these that Ray's has coming to North America over the next couple months. Regardless of any claim that might be made to the contrary, that's a fact.

I should have them by end of next week and am willing to part with a few sets. Message me if seriously interested.

Gloss Black
Flat Black
Formula Silver Black Clear

Price includes shipping. The G12 centerlock is going to be a limited production run. Only OE GT2/3RS fitment currently available on wheels above. 9x19" ET 47 front, 12x19" ET48. 18" is not available.

Here are some pics I took at SEMA in Nov. I have seen a lot of wheels and I will say are these the most beautiful I have ever laid eyes on, and are jewel-like in quality and finish. The bead seats are knurled to reduce/prevent tire rotating on rim. The surface finish and machining is exquisite. Ray's / Volk Racing has a multi-decade reputation of quality and supplied Porsche factory teams with wheel a couple years back. Meet/exceed BBS quality.
  • Unlike ordinary commercial wheels, the Volk Racing G12 is designed for racing. Competition Use Only marked on rim.
  • Exclusivity. These are limited production.
  • Quality of finish is superb.
  • Knurled bead seat area is an unique feature
  • Ships with German air valve.

Rays and Volk Racing are quite popular but not generally well known in the Porsche community. OE on some high performance packages on the Nissan GT-R.

Strong and excellent quality and while not the lightest, are lighter than OE. I will weigh a set when they come in and post the results.

Rays are great wheels. You cornered the market eh?! I always liked the bronze TE37s ... perfect on a white car.

Good luck with your sale Savy...

Great wheels, they look great, but to be honest I don't know what's up the companies that charge that kind of $$$ for a set of wheels.

RSR wheels are still made by BBS. Rays makes the GT3-R wheels.

Just got the wheels in today. All I can say is OMG. The attention to detail and quality of manufacture is the best I have ever seen by an order of magnitude.

I test fitted a set for an order I have going out tomorrow and fitment is as you would expect- perfect.

Experimenting a bit I found that on my Aqua Blue 3RS two colors looked awesome: Flat Black and Gloss Black

On the White 4.0 all three colors were simply spectacular, but the Formula Silver w/Clearcoat picks up on the silver of the decals and is in another world. This silver is very deep and liquid and hard to capture in a photograph. Suffice to say if you own a white 4.0, don't order and install this wheel because your eyes will pop out and your head will explode from the the sheer awesomeness. I am not kidding either.

That is a 396mm oversize front brake kit the one photo shows clearing the wheel with approx 5mm to spare (brake kit for sale as well ).

Sizing is 19" with OE 47/48 offset, so they only fit 2010+ GT3RS, GT2RS and GT3RS 4.0. 18" sizing is not nor will ever be available for this limited production wheel. Weights are 19 3/4 lbs front, rears are 22lbs.

The wheels are stamped on the rim with these words "Competition Use Only" which makes them even more bad-*** upon close examination. Your cars and coffee pals will be duly impressed Why is it stamped on the wheel? It's mainly for liability. Ray's gets asked over and over "Will these fit on my *insert nonporsche brand* if I convert it?" So Rays doesn't want to be responsible if a customer actually decides to do that and uses these Porsche spec wheels. On the street they are fine, they are tested to Japan's JWL and VIA certification, which is heavily regulated and since Rays does oem contracts the quality has to be there.

Closely look at the spokes where they meet the rim. See how the I-Beam of the spoke has a broadening, blending, radius into the rim? That is massively strong and one of the many characteristics that make this wheel suitable for a Competition Use imprint.

So I want to sell the few sets I have left and you can enjoy a tasty discount from what these would normally sell for. Remember, these are the only Rays/Volk Racing CL wheels in North America for the next few months. Buy a set from me now and enjoy one of the finest, strongest and highest quality centerlock wheel currently available.

Click my name and chose send email to buy a set now. Support a forum contributor while doing so and enable more cool goodies in 2012 (they are coming). When I sell out of this batch I will order another and pass along the savings again.

Order now while they last.
