That's because these are made by RAYS Wheels; VOLK is not ( and has never been ) a manufacturer

*Pages* of VOLKS ( RAYS ) Wheels link above; we can quote "how much and how soon" for any of these Wheels

I still don't see the RE30's listed.

Can you quote me a price/time frame for four 18x9.5 +42 in gunmetal?

Tirerack sells a TRMotorsports MT1 18x9.5 +45 that is 19 pounds for $315. I'm not sure if the bore diameter is a RX-8 fitment though as they don't show it for the RX-8, but the bolt pattern is correct. It looks like that wheel might have more brake clearance than the RP-F1, which would allow someone to run a BBK that isn't the special Enkei offset Racing Brake.

I missed that because you only said Ings+ without the model#.

Very good choice BTW. They are much cheaper than RE30's and they are really growing on me.

I guess it's a good thing. If I do get them I will be unique.
