Ok I went into a local shop here in Miami, and they had quite a few of these "new" wheels (they told me Ruff Racing was a brand new label but reaaalllly good), they look and feel really nice, does anyone have any experience with these wheels or know the quality? As far as my eye can see they look pretty good and I found a pair I want to try on my Rx-8......

Its a staggered setup with such a Deep Dish in the back its sooo nice...

That wheel looks REALLY nice. Is it true 2 piece or are those rivets fake. Either way they will look great on an 8.

I haven't found much info on the net about them I have no idea how they are made which is why I posted here so we can find out the quality... but yea they look really nice and on my Titanium Grey with those dark wheels... ouuuwee sexy... just gotta get some reviews here if anyone has even heard of Ruff Racing

Just going off of price alone through Google, they come in anywhere from $175 to $225 per wheel which puts them in price range with Motegi/Einke/Konig Etc. If they are similar in quality you'll be getting an above average wheel for a low price.

Nice good find... Hopefully someone has purchased these or this brand and has some input, if a couple people like it, I am SOLD! :P Anyone?

I've seen them on eBay. If they have that deep lip, are they more likely to accept the TPMS?

kromix

Bump for any info on the quality of the rims

Ole Spiff

If they're $175-225 per wheel then they're one-piece.

how heavy are they becuase i would bye them if they are light

MrWigggles

I hope that finish lasts. It looks like a finish that might discolor over time.

FYI, RUF wheels are very expensive and are (or were) designed for Porsches. RUFF is not the same company.

With all that said, they look nice and if they aren't too heavy should work well.

Those are not the same as RUF as seen on alot of porsches...

RUFF is a company that came out a few years, most of their wheels are rip offs of Jline, they are not lightweight and they are not forged or multipiece... They look alright, but to be honest with you i wouldn't run the same size lip all the way around, just looks kinda odd.

kromix

no i am not i am getting a staggered setup, big lip in the back, i just want to know if they are good or not, coming from someone who has owned a set.....

I was also checking this rims out on ebay. If you can find out the weight comparing it to a typical weight of a 19", it should be a good deal if your main concern is the look on these.

kromix

yea, still no responses though, no1 here have any real life experiences with Ruff wheels??

RX4life

they look like the TSw volcanos i got.. kinda.. i ordered my staggered set for 1350$ CAD.. 19x8 and 19x9.5 ..only difference i see is the rivets which adds a nice look... id buy them if they were in the volcano price rance..

chrism

i owned a set of ruff wheels and had them for about a year.....they are a few years old and they were always one of those call for pricing wheels.....the ones i had were pretty strong and i have driven new york city streets with them on and a tein drop kit in my last car.....i didnt have the same ones here is a pic of the ones i had on my previous car

kromix

thanks for the input, so I guess I will be getting them, they look tight

kromix

TSW Volcanoes? To me they look nothing a like???

chrism

actually mine were racinghart knock offs

RX4life

read what i said ...R-E-A-D...

minus the rivets etc..

kromix

Yea even minus the rivets, only thing similar is that they are wheels, I mean they don't even have the same amount of spokes, thickness of spokes, nothing??? what am I missing?

Hello to All!! No I don't own a RX-8 but I was looking for the RUFF RIM MANUFACTURES'S ADDRESS, and come across this review. I own a set of the R 363 matte black staggered, and was happy for the first 90 days after that while on a trip from Texas to Louisiana. The front passenger side rim cracked ALL THE WAY AROUND RIM, no I did not hit any pot-holes. Don't know what the heat cycles are for that rim.

I put a staggered fit on my 2014 Honda Crosstour, It looks Ok, will post picture later, but for the rim be careful, if rim gets hot. I purchased them from MOE'S CUSTOM OF DALLAS TEXAS. In the process of getting rim replaced and selling the set with rim & tires for $1000. Like in other post big guy be careful with this rim, everything that looks good is not always best for safety.
