What vendor carries NEW volk rims?

Im looking at the 2006 Version of the TE37's on RAYS site. Its a bit different design and looks awesome.

Also, Im interested in the availability of VOLK GTS in gunmetal.

Check Mackin Industries. They're the official US Volk distributors. Check here for a list of vendors who get their wheels from Mackin:

I agree. My experience with Vivid has been good. Granted, they don't know extensive details on your specific car, however, I believe you should do your own leg work anyway.

You can always try us too. www.autornd.com We are also direct with Mackin and I know wheel fitments for the 8 very well based on your uses and functions. I like doing custom setups and wheel/tire combos to maximize your functionality.

I hate to bust your chops Rishie but you didn't get back to a bunch of people who emailed you direct in your own wheel GB thread, including me:

Bindon, I really wouldn't recommend going through Vivid if you are in Canada. (or at all, really.) I tried to buy brake pads from them last year and once they took my order and credit info they were useless, no response to multiple emails, my order sat in "pending" status for weeks, actually it still is almost a year later, they never shipped the product, then they sent me a Satisfaction Survey... very disappointed with the people at Vivid. Anyway, to end the rant, it basically boiled down to the fact that their commerce engine has a problem with doing transactions out of the country. Given how hopeless they were trying to send some brakepads to Canada, I'd have a hard time trusting them for wheels.

In Canada, I know a few people who have had good luck with Tunerworks in Calgary, although I haven't dealt with them my self. Might be a good place to start.

Ya Rishie, what's up? Are you still doing the group buy? You haven't replyed to our e-mails but you are telling other people to buy from you.It's ok if it's off, I just want to be informed on what's going on. Keeping the customer updated goes a long way.
