New Volk 57 'F' Pros
No doubt alot of you have seen this already and Volk's naming convention is bound to cause reference confusion with the 'regular' 57 Pros and the 57Fs - the new 57F Pros:
Essentially the 57 Pros, but looks like in three piece instead of two. Wicked deep lip for those who care (good Lord, 102mm (5 inches) lip on the 57 Pros 18X10 +38!)
Rishie - availability, and how much in standard 18" FD sizes? Have they issued an offset/size list yet? thanks!

WOW! Those are beautiful. Im glad I held off getting new wheels until after the suspensions done. I'd also be interested in how much of a price difference there is compaired to the regular 57Pros.

weights? I don't recall seeing ever seening the 57pro's..
I like both finishes!! What is that finish on the plain 'ole 57pro? - polished or chromed?
One thing for sure - I have wheel envy.

Why oh why must Volk put that cheezy universal lug pattern on most of their nice wheels?

Yes, that is not a multi-boltpattern. You try to put lugs thru there and you won't be very successful. Just how it is. They haven't released any official information. But this summer we will have a whole bunch of new wheels based on older styles, but new and improved.

Yeah those FPros are sharp, but those bronze wheels in the dead center of the 2nd picture really catch my eye...would look great on my red FD
Volk needs to completely revamp their naming system, it is WAYYYYYY to confusing now...

Is this a 'summer' release too, Rishie? BTW, ignore my last depressing PM. I'm back to my indecisive ways.

Sent an email to a volk distriutor in CA on the polished and gun metal wheel in the pic above. He said 18x8 and 18x10's would run $1900 - sounds like a pretty good deal... Said he probably would need to order them from the homeland...

In either case, Rishie can beat that price shipped (assuming we are talking about the 57 Pros - again, this stupid naming system that Volk has) to your door:

I want the 57pro's that are polished - the ones in the upper top picture. They are not the 3 piece - are those not released as well?
Also quoted me $800 for Nitto 555r's mounted & balanced.
Where in texas are you - I'm in Plano - oh yeah Rudy Bahktiar = fine....

I actually just got off the phone with Mackin, and they confirmed that the 57F Pros (3 piece) are not yet available, with no eta (just 'in the near future').

I imagine that if you join up with the group buy in my previous post, you should be able to get the polished version (as that the group buy is for custom offsets, made on an order by order basis direct from Japan - not the regular offsets/finishes Mackin normally stocks).
Hope that helps.

Manny,
If you wanna go 7-spoke, these are much nicer IMHO... they are just hard to get good info on:

The translation of the text in the above link does not offer much, but at least it has the offset chart. I remember seeing somewhere they are forged.

damn it! whatever happened to the quick reply box?
oh well...
they are not really scubbie wheels... OZ racing just happens to sponsor SUB and they made a line wheels that are very strong... i like those wheels very much... tirerack only carries offsets and bolt patterns for sUB though

I agree... a good looking, lightweight, affordable, forged wheel (of which there are VERY few) is good enough for me.
I don't think they are really a subaru or NSX wheel... just a japenes manufactured wheel.
They are pretty high on my list since Volk always manages to find a way to ruin their wheels. They are either, ugly, have the universal bolt pattern (or something that looks like it), or only come in some f-ed up color like white and bronze.
