Holy crap....

I recently found out that the Volk lll (the only mesh wheel the wanted) was discontinued...

So I talked to Rishi and he said that he might not even be able to get them for me...

So I started looking for a replacement and now that iv found them i i cant get any damn info on them.

the wheels are from Work...

I need pic / info / anything you can find...

If anyone has any other ideas of what wheel i could use in place help me out...

Here is a pic of the Volk lll


Here are the other ones from Work im looking at as subs..
<-- Euroline M

<-- VS-MX & VS-XX Chrome

 

We do work so just let me know which one ya want. We have a work importer here in San Francisco.

I like the VS-XX and the VS MX. Thsoe are sweet. Probably go with the XX for more of a sporty look as the face looks to be flat whereas the MX has some concavity to it or something.

Diameter and widths.

 

The XX almost looks like the Advan Sienna. Sweet *** ****.

 

Will probably take 60 days to receive these from Japan. Just a heads up.

 

60 days?
damn...

well i was looking for prolly 18"/8.5 front and 18"/10.5 back. My car will have around 400whp when Im done so i was hoping to go even wider if its dooable.. maby 18/9 and 18/11 or 12

I dont really know the offset chart to well so heres a shot in the dark..

24 front and 12 back...?

I'm really not sure what that would look like though.
ill try to find a pic of the depth Im going for..

 

here we go!!!
Thats basicly the depth Im looking for...

 

why so wide?

 

well im not talking like 18/13...
thats just to show the depth im looking for. Im gonna have around 400whp so i dont wanna be breaking loose all that time...

ill prolly go with 11" max in the back, fornt maby 9" max

 

Do you have a widebody or a standard body?

Thanks, Rishie

I'll find out offsets once I know this.

Typically +50 offsets front and rear for 9-10s. What about your tire size?

 

ohh man...

yah the tire sizeing is a whole nother issue...
i donno..
what would you say...
Im getting SO-3's prolly 2...4..5..?/40 and 245.....?/35...?......

Thats what I need your help for...
im not 100% sure how to size yet..

 

We have to answer the questions in this order. So please answer these one by one before asking more questions. Ready.

1) Are you going to add a wide body kit or keep your standard body?

That's number one.

i'll check back in a few.

 

S-03's max out at a 285, so you only need a 10" width. If you want what Petit has you'll need to add a widebody.

Rishie

 

no i dont want a wide body kit....

i guess ill just go with 10" in the back...
9" in the front....

 

That's the way to go 9.0" and 10.0". What type of suspension do you have, coilovers?

I'd run 245/35 and 285/30/18. That's the ****. The only two tires I've seen in these two sizes are the Pirelli Pzero and Falken GRB-451. This is the only good Falken and not really expensive. IMO.

I'll look into those offsets but need to know about your suspension first.

A +45 to +50 will work in the front and rear.

Thanks, Rishie

 

awwww...

no S0-3's?.. I really had my hart set on those. Maby ill just go with the Pirellis....

whats the closest you can get to that in S0-3's

btw im gonna be running coilovers..

 

The Work Miesters SR2 are starting to grow on me now...

**** maby ill go with those..

 

...and heavy. I was going to get those until a reply from them said the XX is 20+ kgs, or around 40lbs, for the 18X10s. Yikes.

 

If you like the VolkIII's, you'll probably like the Gewalt Evolutions:

Here they are on my car, 18X10 +44 rear, 18X8.5 +44 front. I sold them earlier this year, but want them again so! Wheels were disassembled and the centers painted gunmetal before they were shipped to me.



Rishie is right - it will take a couple months or three when ordering custom wheels form Japan like this. Unless someone has a set exactly what you want here, that's just the way it is.

 

Work wheels aren't light. That's a fact.

Rishie

 

yah i dont cair if the works are light...
they are gonna be my road wheel...

when i hit the track im prolly gonna get ssr comps and for auto x im gonna use the stocks...

but i really like the Misters S2....
i always liked them but now that iv seen a pic of them i want them even more....

they look really mean and intimadating for a road wheel...
just what i was looking for since the rest body will stay stock.

 

my car is Pw also.
btw those are only 17"....

 

Y"eah I love that pic. I saved it for my files a while back. You can't go wrong with that baby.

Rishie

 

so whats the deal on the S0-3"s

can they fit...
