Hey guys I am finally a Rays Wheel Owner! I got them on Friday and had them mounted on Saturday. I will post pics as soon as I can get some good quality ones. The wheels look amazing! My wheels are: Volk GTS in Titanium Gunmetal 19x8.5 +36 all around with 245/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE01R Tires. All I can say is wow! The car accelerates much fast and handles a lot better since the wheels are lighter and wider.

Also, what do you guys use to clean your wheels? I don't want to scratch them or damage the anodized lip. Can I use quick detailer on them for daily clean ups including on the lips? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I was quoted 60-90 days from a few companies for Volk TE-37's in 18x9.5 +12 so I got ahold of Japanparts and they said 10-15 days directly from Rays.

of course I have a baby called RX8 and I'm looking for rays but they are sold for 3000 euros here and I was wondering if there's a cheap site I can order them.
