^^

let me check on that guys...i forget..
its acutally 4 separate pieces...

i'll look for the website

 

That is pure sex....

 

Thanks Whitehot. Man ya'll are great! I am super excited to get this project started. Have upholstery and paint mods in mind, a certain kit, which will remain nameless at this time, the SF wheels are a for sure now...I have kei-office eyelids installed, and a few minor mods. Nothing to the engine, will be done, except some graphics to the entire set up of covers. I just dont need a cold air intake, but have thought about changing the exhaust. I just haven't found the right 'throat" I'm looking for yet! Lowering the front a bit I think is exactly the look that I want. Hopefully by this time next year she'll be show ready.

 

Thanks

 

Here are some other shots of GTF wheels. Sorry about the quality of the pics. I took them with my phone....

 

Looks good. Get the rear diffuser!

 

I got a question to all the fellow RAYS wheel owners, I would like to know where is the best place to purchase some?! To be specific, I'd like to buy some SF Challenge's in RMC finish..

 

To be honest, I don't think the SF challenge would look good in chrome. Go with gold. I think gold on a VR would look even better. Keep in mind that you would have to wait for several months for your Volks to come in. imdanomite is selling his right now:

Yeah, I saw that the other day, but it's not what I was looking for.. 2 main reasons, I'm not into Gold wheels and the other main big reason is that I'm going with a different offset. Besides, my car is VR right now, but I will be undergoing a major change which would be completed early/late 09. Which means different paint as well! Any case, I wouldn't mind waiting several months for the rims to arrive. I just need to find a good vendor that sales them..

 

contact Dat Nguyen, Prez of Vertex-USA..in Cali...they are on the web...
tell them i sent you...
excellent customer service....
i can tell you that any 2 or 3 piece rim will take approx 3months ETA..since they are custom...

 

Thank you! I'm just looking for reputable vendors as of right now, I won't order my rims until late 08. I don't mind waiting a few months, especially since I got other things to do before the rims go on. Any case, is there any other vendor someone would recommend or..?!

 

So, no one else can recommend another vendor besides what Shinka213 has recommended?

 

+1 for Dat at Vertex!

 

There's always me. www.autornd.com

Hey Guys after nearly 2 months of waiting, I have received confirmation that my wheels are finally coming some time next week. I will post pics once they are mounted. What cleaning tools do you guys use to clean your Volks? Now that I spent so much on wheels, I don't want to scratch them up. I know about waxing them and using microfiber towels, but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

chris@f1motorsports.com he has helped me and my friends. the guy definately knows his stuff.

LAZI (rx8 vendor) or his AIM (drivelinesam). boy can get you anything you want!! very honest and i have ordered my works from him.

daniel desmond (sales@desmondperformance.com) has helped me from the beginning since the first day i purchased my 8.

 

In addition to waxing and polishing, clean them with the same high quality soap you use to wash your car. I wash my wheels inside and out every week. But I have 5 spokes so cleaning the inside is very easy.

Steve @ Evolution is where I got mines from.

 

Lazi!!! AKA Sam.

PM him he has the BEST!!! deals on volk wheels. Believe me ive priced them around.

 

USE ONLY SOAP AND WATER! I just seriously screwed myself recently. I typically only use Meguiar's wheel cleaner, however I ran out this past weekend and decided to use my wife's Eagle one wheel cleaner. Bad decision. Completely killed the anodized lip on my GTS. Now I'll have to send it to a wheel repair shop to have it refinished. What a pain in the neck!!!

Currently running on my track set-up, Rays Gram Lights 57F:

 

damn, that sucks.

 

If you dont mind me asking, how much did the wheels cost you?
