Question Legit Volk Dealer?

Hey guy's as you know I have been searching like crazy for some Volks at a descent price. I think I have finally found them for an awesome deal. Could someone tell me if the website is legit so I don't get screwed. If all goes well, I may end up ordering them. I will probably get Volk GTS in Titanium Gunmetal 19x8.5 +34 offset. Thanks.

Email http://www.mackinindustries.com/ , the distributor for Volk to see if they are an authorized distributor. Otherwise why not see if a forum vender will price match.

It is possible they are some how getting a really good deal on Volks & transferring the savings back to the customers, or the make their money elsewhere & not on wheel / tire markups.

Pretty sure the price is per wheel, which is about average.

You can probably get a better deal than that if you call and deal with them. You can always shave from the internet listed pricing.

You live in NorCal so there should be plenty of shops that sell Volks in your area. See if one of them will match or beat an internet price.

I got my Bridgstones from memoryfab.com a couple years ago and they were great. Not sure how they will compare in price with what you are looking for but they got me wheels that I could not get here in the states at a good price and shipping was like $100 total.

DO NOT GO TO ENDURO, OWNER'S NAME IS RAVI.

I'VE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS FROM HIS CLIENTS FOR NOT RECEIVING PRODUCTS WHEN PREPAYING. LOTS OF BBB COMPLAINTS AND I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF FIRST HAND.

IF PRICES ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE THERE'S A REASON.

We're an Authorized Mackin Distributor. Be very careful of this company. I can't say much more but i suggest not preordering/prepaying for anything from them.

Wow thanks a ton Rishie! I almost could of gotten screwed over and lost my money. A was about to order from them, but now I obviously won't be. I will probably keep looking or maybe just buy a used set because new ones are extremely expensive. If they were legit, the price would be just right for me. Could you possible come closer to matching this? Thanks again.

I can get pretty darn close. If you come through and drop cash I can match that + TAX of course. That price doesn't include centercaps FYI.

The other advantage is I can help ya with tires. Just have them ship to me or I'll supply them, either way.

Thanks,
Rishie

its hard to find a "good deal" on volks unless they are a closeout model or your getting them used.

from what i understand the profit margin for the retailer isnt huge, so if someone is giving them at a REALLY LOW price - beware.

True that.. Volks aren't a good wheel to make money on.

Good thing you avoided Enduro on that one. He's nothing but a con artist. I got suckered into working for him and discovered all his dark secrets. I still get calls from companies now trying to find this guy to get their money back. He DOES have Volks for sale, but you know how he can sell them for so low? Because he didnt pay a cent for them. He's "bought" big order of $5000, $15000 worth of Volks and Enkeis and Works from companies like GruppeS and Kyokudo Performance and given them bad checks. Then when they try to get ahold of him about their bad checks he doesnt answer, return calls. Acts like the "shop" is closed. He's got a class action coming his way for fraud and larceny. Hopefully he'll actually go to jail for a long time this time.
Look, there's so much bad info on him on the internet he had to change the name of his outfit from Enduro Motorsports to Enduro Autowerx, so when you google it, it doesnt come up with pages of bad reports. Just google Enduro Motorsports and see what I mean.
Take care guys, there's alot of scammers out there!

I think otherwise, I have a decent discount on them.
