Rishie, I tried sending you a PM but your box is full.

Here is what I typed in the PM but could not send to you:



Rishie, I am very interested in buying these wheels. The only thing I need from you is a price on the wheels and also any information regarding tires I could get on these wheels. I really like the Ecsta Supra's.

By the way DEF, I believe those might be available right away. They tend to stock a lot of the GT's for some reason. I'll check it out on Monday.

Talk to you later,

Rishie,

I'm very interested in purchasing some VolK GT-P wheels for my 94 RX-7.

I'd like 17x8 front and 17x10 rear wheels in the silver finish.

If you have any information regarding weight that would be great as well.

I'm prepared to send you the first 50% at any time.

Sorry about the box. I could not attend to it while I was in LA. I am now in NYC and can check them since I am at my cousin's apt. Here's your estimate.

There is no silver, but you are referring to the diamond cut finish, most likely. It is my favorite finish. It is a standard color as well, good news. There are no special colors according to the guide.

I get a pretty phat deal on Kumhos, so that's definitely the way to go, bang for buck. I'll get back to you on those.

17,8 = $375.00

17,10 = $405.00

Total for rims only = $1560.00 + shipping.

i will check availability if you lika the prica, which I know you willa.

Thanks a lot for the interest,

Oh yeah, I apologize for being sceptacle on the +44 for the fronts. I do not own an FD, strictly FC's and bimmers, and therefore forgot about the offset of the stock 16,8. If that's a +50, then you can go all the way up to that on an equivalently wide wheel. Talk to ya later.

Rishie,

I'm definitely game. I will go for whatever offsets you recommend. I want to make 100% sure the wheels will fit as the last set I purchased didn't and I had to eat the return costs.


For those Kumhos I'd like 235/45 up front and 265/40 in the rear.

The diamond is the silver-ish color, right? I just want to make sure I don't end up with any funky colors.

thanks!

They look pretty terrible in the stock photos that Volk use but once you see them on a car, showing off the nice thick lip...they look 10xs better.

I don't like the thick, flat spokes ... I'll take my Work Meister VS-SS's.

The diamond cut is like machined finish, nice and shiny, but not blingy. Just looks like real metal. That's what you're talking about. Anyways, I know the price is good, cause I try to hook everyone up as near to cost as possible. Locals are the ones who will eat it later. But if you own an F-whatever A-D, I got a soft spot for ya.

As far as fitment, I left the guide at home, but can guarantee fitment as MAckin has provided me with their guide. It will work if your car is normal, no frame damage, etc. DAHHH!!!! They obviously won't work on something that's "different" structurally.

Be back in CALI on Monday.

Later, Rishie
