For Sale

Volk TE37 Flat Bronze Monoblock Wheels LIMITED EDITION

http://www.mackinindustries.com/md/rays/te37.html

The stock rx8 wheels are front and rear 7" wide. The tire size is 225/45/18

The wheels I am selling are 8.5" wide in the front and 9.5" in the rear.

Stock wheels weigh 22-25lbs.

These wheels weigh 17lbs.

The tires on the wheels I am selling are relatively new and are Nitto 555. The fronts are 245/35/19 and the rears are 275/30/19.

The stock wheel offset is +52

These wheels are +42 offset and do not rub with stock suspension.

The wheels and tires new were around, cough cough, a lot more than what i am asking.

Each rear tire costs around $250 for one and I also have 2 extra rear tires in case of an emergency.

I would guess that the front tires are around $200each new.

The centercaps are bronze and plain unlike the smaller Volks. I had to wait 8 months for them to come in Japan and are valued at $200.

The TPMS do fit and are currently in the Volks. The TPMS typically sell for $250 as a set.

They do have some curbing and have been worn for about 2 years. They are not bent or cracked and the tires will last a long time. They are clean inside and out and still have the manufacture stickers inside the wheels.

I also have a wheel lock set included.

I have tried them on my RX7 and they look pretty silly IMO.

They are easy to clean, will stand the test of time and are not overly stylized. They allow the eye to focus on the lines of the 8 and not pull attention to the wheels alone. They are simply classic, clean and rockingly understated for what they are. I love them and would sleep with them in my bed if I could.

I am asking $2615 which includes the TPMS, the centercaps, the wheel locks, and the two extra rear tires with plenty of tread life.

You will have to pay the shipping, so figure 4 boxes at 21lbs each from zip 33773 and 2 boxes (extra tires) 10lbs each?

This is a personal sale from my RX8 and in not related to Mazsport.

 

Pics of the curbing? On all four tires? ( i certainly hope not)

stock rx8 wheels are 8" not 7" and also they come with +50 offset not 52

 

what new rims are you getting Betsey?

 

bump, the rims look great..

 

got pictures?

 

can you locate me two LE-37T's 19x9.5 +40-45mm?

 

if 9.5 why run +40?
run at least 30s

 

So you can scrape your fender?

 

ever heard of shaving/rolling your fenders?
i'm running +33 on 9.5 on rear
i shaved and i'm fine

 

Shaving and rolling is too tedious, most people want direct bolt on with no modifications. I think shaving/rolling fenders are stupid since it's all for aesthetics on our car but that's totally my opinion.

 

^ but if youre going for a nice look it's a +

 

Like I said, all aesthetics. They're light but to go as far as fender rolling then no thank you.

 

is it really that big of a deal? to shave or roll fender? just drop off your car somewhere for a good 30min-1hr and pay a small fee youre good to go

 

Yes it is a big deal, most people prefer not to do that, such as I. Looks are one thing but performance is another.

 

so shaving and rolling my fender will make a difference on my performance?

 

No - shaving or rolling prevents rubbing on wheels/tires with low offsets.

The so called "performance" gain is from having wider tires - which means typically heavier wheels etc. Most people do it because it looks cool - some do it for FI-ed vehicles where 225's just don't cut it.

Some do it for both - the arguments have gone on for a long time; generally with more grip on the back vs the front you induce understeer; but even that depends on a lot of variables.

 

Well said my marine diving old school truck overhauling bald headed friend

 

Speaking of which - see updated thread....

PS. It is ARMY Diving old school truck overhauling bald headed (ridiculously good looking) friend.

:LOL:

 

HA! Your face didn't show up.

 

I didnt want to roll the fenders because I used these wheels for autocrossing as well as daily driving....

Anyway, the curbing is minimal and could be considered normal wear for having them for 2 years, hence the low price....

thanks for the update on the stock wheel facts....

these are off the car and ready to ship.

 

here is a pic...I love these wheels.....

 

that was you first mistake, why are most people from CA more concerned with looks then doing things the way they are suppose too?

 

SOLD, I will miss by Mantis.....
