Hi guys,

Just gauging what we should setup as a GB to better service your needs.

We can source many of your popular Japanese wheels. We are direct distributors for them or importers.

Here's a listing of some wheel brands we offer, there are several more. Just list some brands and we'll proceed.

We will not offer any replicas or Taiwan/China wheels to the forums. It goes against our standards. There are certain ones we find worthy due to weight, offset, and price for track or autox purposes.

Let's take a vote or simply list what you brand you want and i'll count em up.

Thanks, Rishie

Thanks, Rishie

hey, im looking for some light wheels, but i don't know exactly what i want. what are the lightest wheels you offer in 18*8.5? unless they are ugly or just dont go with my car, then i would be interested.

haha i think thats a bit of a vague question to ask about rims honestly, there are TOO many to choose from. its your pick not his. he'd prob can help u out whats light though probably

Enkei Racing Series has some good options for you.

http://www.autornd.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=14_8855&osCsid=c86ad2758e0e669bf9d7274f528ccaa2

The RPF1 and RP03 are always good options.

Advan on our list and Volk Racing also have lightweight options. What's the budget?

There's also 5Zigen FN01RC's.

Rishie

I would Kill for some cheaper Volks. In particular the SF-Challenge and Progressive Spoke styles.......

wow, i didn't realize how detailed the site was. when i looked the first time, it appeared that i had to email for any information, but i was very wrong. i'm gonna keep looking, but i'm definitely interested if someone comes up with something...

pm sent.

I'm down to do whatever you guys want. I'll give you GB pricing without the GB so that we can get things rolling here. I've seen the RX8 market very slow and don't know why. I, being the extremely modest gentleman i am think my 8 LOOKS HAWT as hell. I get so many outrageous compliments from DOMESTICs and EUROS it gives me tingles. To get compliments from C6 and GTO owners, as well as BMW and Audi guys is pretty nice. MAny times they don't even realize what the car is. I've tested a few different wheels on the 8 and these are the ones that really set the car off.

I can do anything you guys want. Our site should be pretty damn detailed, we gave you pricng and fitment info. I can custom do fitments according to your functions as well, that's my specialty as seen on www.rx7club.com for many many years now.

that's a new wheel from Japan call AME, owned by Enkei Japan and same shit as Racing Hart and Blitz wheels etc....

Forged barrel, phat lip, clears my brakes, lightweight for multipiece.

Thanks, Rishie

Advan and Volk are the two that I have been looking at.

rishie,
it took me a while to figure out your site. as when i went to mazda/rx8/wheels i got nothing. no listings at all.

found my way around by using your link.
btw, what kind of deal are we talking about???? i also am fond of the adr msports!! funny huh:cwm27: i just cant justify spending over 350 bucks a rim.

beers :beer:

I've always wanted to get wheel weights on all the wheels Volk's make but haven't been able too. I'm mainly interested in SF-Challanges but i don't expect those to be to light. If you can get a weight list for all of Volks wheels posted that would be great.

Here's a longer list, I'm not sure if all have Rx-8 fitments. Cpuld you list which you could get along with an estimated GB price? Add any others that you can think of that fit into this "lightweight" (under 19lbs in 18x8) category? And give us a estimated GB price on the ones you can get?

Volk TE37 Mag 12.9lbs
RS Wantanabe Cyclones 14.6lbs
BBS RE-Mg 15.0lbs
MazdaSpeed MS-01 16.1lbs
SSR Competitions Type C 16.3lbs
Racing Sparco Viper R 16.3lbs
Stern Aguzze-S07R 16.5lbs

SSR GT-1 19.0lbs
BBS RS-GT 19.0lbs
Advan Racing RG 19.0lbs

Just skiming your website for wheels I haven't seen, depending on Weight, either Bim Downhill Special AE034 or Bim Downhill Special AE032 look nice.

How about these:

Enkei RP03 Type RC #417-895-6545SBC
18x9.5 45MM Offset 5x114.3 Bore 75 23lbs. SBC Finish

Enkei RPF1 Type RC #414-885-6542SP
18x9.5 45MM Offset 5x114.3 Bore 75 22.7lbs. Silver Finish

Enkei RC5 #36389065SP
18x9 42MM Offset 5x114.3 Bore 75 19.5lbs Silver Finish

Enkei RPF1 #??
18x9.5 45MM Offset 5x114.3 Bore 75 17.2lbs. Silver Finish

I'd love a price on Stern ST-2 face II rims, thankx. :rock:

I am looking for a good deals on these

Do you have weights for either?

Thanks!

I'd love to see a cheaper price on the silver Enkei NT03+M, 18x8.5, +38, 5x114.3, 19.6#. I've been looking at these for a while.

I've always wanted to get wheel weights on all the wheels Volk's make but haven't been able too. I'm mainly interested in SF-Challanges but i don't expect those to be to light. If you can get a weight list for all of Volks wheels posted that would be great.

DPE GT7 19.0lbs

[font=Verdana][size=2]

DPE GT7's weigh 18lbs in 20"- I wonder how light they are in 18"

DPE GT7's weigh 18lbs in 20"- I wonder how light they are in 18" according to wheelweights.net its 19.0lbs in 18x8 which is the size that i posted.

come on man, quit posting that, most of it is not relevant for the RX-8, we've been through this all before, you're misleading people :spank:

OK SO ENKEI, GUARANTEED EASY FOR ME TO HOOK YOU UP ON.

Volk Racing I can do but even as a wholesaler, the discount is very limited so the savings won't appear to be as much as say the ENkei.

Many of the Enkei Special order sizes are just that, special order. I would have to place a minimum order and they might take a few months to get. For those items I would only require a small non refundable deposit no matter the lead time. WE've just started to get Enkei to begin stocking some of their "Japan" offsets.

We don't do STERN, cause it's owned by the ADR guys. We can do ADR, but we would have to do a GB on them. So that's not a problem. They are only 20mins from me.

As for the pricing, because we direct with manufacturers, I cannot provide pricing here. I will have to email you the additional discount you can take off the website to make things easier.

The wheel lines I can see offerring a large savings on are these:

1. Enkei Racing Series
2. Gram lights
3. Volk Racing GT Series of wheels in 3 or more shippable sets.
4. 5Zigen Wheels
5. Work Wheels
6. AME Wheels

Work Wheels is the one wheel I would require full payment in advance as i must prepay for the order as we are direct with Japan on that line. The others we can take 50% deposits on, for the Enkei Japan Offsets I'll take a 25% deposit due to the potential extended lead times.

We will be adding more and more wheels but i don't want to make things too complicated. Please email me: sales@autornd.com what wheel you're interested in. If you can send me the link from our website of the wheel and indicate the wheel size and color you want.

i'll reply back with the % discount additional or a shipped price.

Thanks, Rishie

Advan and Volk Racing TE/SE/LE/CE wheels have a very small discount even for a distributor. I can offer savings on those, not a problem.

For that wheel, because of its limited margins we would have to do a minimum of 12 sets of wheels. WE can mix and match tho between Advan, Volk Racing, and Gram Lights. However for GT series wheels, it has to be three sets.

Most likely this is how I will setup the GB then.

Thanks, Rishie

So for an example, how much would a set of Volk GT-C go for, assuming we have 3 people commit? 19x8.5 and 19x9.5.

Do you deal with Rays G-Games line?

No G-Games, I can but would go thru discount tire direct.

A price for standard color, with shipping out of cali in continental US would be about:

$2000.00 shipped to you in OH if we got three sets of GT series wheels, and 12 sets total so there is no shipping to me. Then I can ship out to you. I'm working this so that we can save on drop ship fees and inbound freight. It's the only way to make this happen.

So Advan, Gram Lights, Volk Racing all same distributor, 12 sets gets free freight to me.

GT series wheels, we get extra break at 3 shippable sets order.

Thanks, Rishie

volk GTC

how much for 19' 5zigen Hypers? without the rivets, and how much do these weigh? look pretty hefty..

alright, so how much for the enkei rp-f1 in an 18x9.5?
how much does the volk ce28n weigh?

i know you requested an email, but my email provider's server is being cleaned at the moment, so yeah......sorry. if you cant say the prices on here or can't PM me, i'll just hold off & email you tomorrow when its working. thanks.

Ya email me please tomorrow.

Put it this way, Enke Racing Series I GUARANTEE to give you the best price. No way it can be beat.

Thanks,
Rishie

haha thanks...thats very comforting. maybe it will be so good that i'll just have to buy 2 sets! you guys don't do tires too, do you?

appreciate your help, rishie...

Any GT series Volk? Or do they have to be all the same model?

Any GT Series of Volk Racing. Our special discount applies when we buy three or more sets of GT wheels that are shippable. It's a tough gamble but hope we do normal offsets and i'll get em at a great deal.

As for Enkei, yups it will be THAT GOOD. hehe. You'll want two sets.

For 5Zigen, please email me sales@autornd.com and i'll quote those wheels out. I assume you want the two piece ones. They are quite expensive. Do you want silver finish?

Thanks, Rishie

i bet a bunch of people(myself included) would liek a great deal on these :D:

http://www.poweraxel.com/mazdaspeed/news/news2006/ms001.jpg

^ those or some 19 x 9 Advans Model 5

I concur. Those are the wheels I want, and yes you can see them here:

i bet a bunch of people(myself included) would liek a great deal on these :D:

yesssssssssssss......hahaha. is that wheel actually manufactured by mazda???? zoom44, do you know any details, like sizes offered, weight, or price???? those are incredible... :icon_droo

yesssssssssssss......hahaha. is that wheel actually manufactured by mazda???? zoom44, do you know any details, like sizes offered, weight, or price???? those are incredible... :icon_droo
No... those are advans model 5's

o ok. that is what i thought, until someone suggested the wheel posted by zoom OR the advan model 5....thanks for the clarification, though.

dont listen to polak:D:

that wheel i posted is the new mazdaspeed wheel. they are 18 x 8 and also come 17 x 7 to fit other mazda models.
the 18s cost 47,500 yen which is about $412.

more info here http://www.poweraxel.com/mazdaspeed/news/news2006/ms001.html

but you need to read japanese or understand babelfish;)

the advan model 5 i similar but different

Stern makes decent rims.
Stern ST-1: 19"x8.5" is what I run and I am happy with em'. They are one Piece w/ rivet look. Not really sure of the weight now, but I recall they were no heavier than stock.

the advan model 5 i similar but different

http://wheelwarehouse.com/image/advan/Model5.jpg humm it appears your right.... pretty darn similar tho, btw from reading that Jap page MS developed the wheel in co-hoots with Enkei

alrighty then..... thanks zoom. the biggest difference from what i can tell is that the split spokes are a little farther apart on the ms wheel than the advan. either way, they both look damn good. vivid racing has the advan listed @ 554 for 18x8, & 572 for 18x9. that was just a quick search, but those prices are prbably a decent indicator...

zoom, are the ms wheels only available in 18x8 for us, or is there a wider one? im assuming that is the only size (other than the midget ones), unfortunately...

How much do they weigh Zoom?

I'm in the process of looking for a new set of wheels, so this is very timely for me.

After looking your website over, I am interested in the following:

Volk GT-U, 18x9, 50 mm offset, low center caps, Mercury Silver.

Can you give me a price & a weight?

OK, one other wheel I'm interested in as well...

Gram Lights, 57s-Pro, 18x9, 43 mm offset, Grey-Silver.

Hey guys, i'll start working on these tomorrow but have one request to ensure that I get you guys an idea of pricing on these wheels. Please email me sales@autornd.com. I only check the board at night and by that time it's too late to call manufacturers.

Would you guys be willing to take the Model V in lieu of the OEM wheel?

ADVAN is MAnuf by Enkei Japan as well, along with AME and Racing Hart. AME is a Kyoho line of wheels which is a sister company to Enkei. Racing Hart is part of the Takechi Project line of wheels which is not majority owned by enkei as well.

Rishie

Let's refine what we're looking for. I'm gonna create a POLL thread now based on brand of wheel. I'll link it here.

AND HERE WE GO:

http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?p=1210296&posted=1#post1210296

rishie, i emailed you (or whoever reads sales@autornd.com) yesterday (i think) concerning a few different wheel's specs & prices. no hurry on the return, just wanted to let you know, so you could tell me if you did not receive it. thanks again.

I got your email. i'll check into those tomorrow and see what they got.

I have the GT-V in stock in 19" staggered in Mercury Silver that we're blowing out pretty damn cheap.

As for the ADVANS, our price will be lower than that. If you have a link to the vivid site where you found that it would be most appreciated so that I can get it approved and beaten.

if it all works out you're looking at another $100 savings for sure off that price for the WHOLE SET.

Thanks, Rishie

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/vivid.php/cPath/2469_2885_3041

here is the link to the advans. thanks.

could you possibly email me the price you have for the gt-v's? that would be much appreciated. also, is the price as good if i want to go the same width at all four corners? i do not want to be a victim of the staggered set up.....haha

thanks again rishie.

Looks nice I have always wondered what those would look like on an 8 They are so much similar to what Stock G35s come with. not sure abouth the flames but they do look good non the less.

anything going on here??? i have sent two emails and know nothing.

beers :beer:

swoope, im in the same boat. two emails, zero replies. look at it this way, rishie is giving us more time to make more money to buy more expensive, "better" wheels. thanks rishie.

hey everyone, i just received some emails from rishie with some numbers, & im still drooling. i am looking to order ASAP, just have to dig up the money... anyway, rishie has some absolute steals, & anyone who is in the market for some new wheels would be a fool to not at least look here. rishie seems like a great guy, who is really looking to sell you what YOU want & will enjoy the most. while everything is priced extremely low, i was most impressed with the enkei racing series, which is just ridiculous.... almost makes me wonder if he's even making a profit! good luck everyone, sorry if i sound like a sales person myself. thanks for all the help rishie!

According to the Work Wheels japanese website, the CR Kai are available in 17"
Can you get these? If so, how wide and how much?

good luck...& dont worry. he'll take care of you.

HAHAHA. Shit let me look up my emails. I think i replied to all of them. If not would you mind sending it back to me swoope.

On the Emotion series that is the one line we do not carry. It is exclusive to another Work Importer here in the states. I'm very sorry. They are a bit heavy of a wheel as well for being one piece.

Rishie

Rishie,

I've sent you PM's and an email, and I haven't heard back from you. I can send another one if you didn't get it. I definitely want to get in on one of these GB's cause I need new wheels for the spring...

Thanks!
