I think I finally deciced on rims...

I think I'll go with Volk LE37K's in either 18x8.5 front/18x9.5 rear or 17's. Rishie (ARD T2) is going to hook me up with a sweet deal. My buddy here with a White 94 already ordered a set for himself. I'll probably get the ones with gunmetal spokes, polished lip. Those Work VS-SS's and S2R's look better I think, but for a road race car the Volk are probably better.

I can't wait ... and count on tons of pics when I get them. Send Rishie your business!!! He's helping all of us and the forum out.

Thanks for the good words Ryan. I'm gonna use this thread as a Hallmark, so bear with me for a moment.

Thanks a lot to all you guys who have said good things about my company. I really am here to help you make good decisions about what to get on your car. In fact, you can all think of me as your forum "bitch", you tell me what to get ya and I'll try my best to tell you all the specs regarding it. I have reps at most of these companies and it is their job to give me the information I need to make them money. This adds quite a bit of leverage because they will actually answer my questions correctly, well most of the time.

Pretty soon here, if not already, we're going to have some good pricing on really phat wheel lines for forum members. See the thing is, you have to be a forum member to get these deals. My local clientele does not get these deals. This is much more manageable for me, as well as efficient. If it remains that way, then the savings will get passed on. "TIME IS MONEY" Less time, less money. Pretty simple formula.

I'll be getting together a comprehensive list with pictures exclusively for forum members, members only pricing. This list will include available offsets, sizes, colors, weight, and fitment for differing generations of 7's. I think the fact that the vendor commissions the forum based on sales generated via it, is a really good idea. I think it will help Ryan get this thing really flowing.

Have you seen the number of members we have now. When I was in NYC we had 3800, that was only three weeks ago. Now we're at 5100.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ADMIRE OUR CARS. hehe.

Thanks Ryan and fellow MEMBERS,

Rishie

Vosko, I apologize. I recall responding to the e-mail, but for some reason it came back to me undelivered and when attempted again, did the same.

I will therefore post your info. here and now:

The LE37A, as far as I know, is not available in a 17. You must go with 18's to do that. If you want to stay 17's the LE37K is what's available.

Here's prices for the wheels, if available in LE, just add $150.00 to the totals below:

TE and SE, 17", 8.5 and 9.5, The A is not shown in a 17", no centercaps. Ask if you want them, volk does not include them.

1800.00 for the standard colors
1920.00 for special colors
1950.00 for the LE version = polished lip and contrasting face, includes centercaps though

TE and SE, 18", 8.5 and 9.5, A is included, no centercaps

1950.00 for the standard colors
2070.00 for special colors
2100.00 for the LE version, includes centercaps

I will be talking to the rep again tommorrow and will post what is available for the FD in the LE versions as a confirmation.

I have taken care of some serious backlog in work and have not been following up, hope this helps Vosko. Tommorrow, after Ryan decides which wheel he wants, my table will be cleared.

Thanks, Rishie
