Why would you need to do that when I pretty much give you guys group buy prices with individual orders.

I am here to eliminate that need. The only time a group buy would be neccessary is when an account needs to be opened.

If you are interested in a certain wheel, please ask and I will see what kind of quote I can give you.

For the most part, all the guys get killer deals without having to worry about the logistics of a group buy. It's just a pain in the ***.

See ya, Rishie

Let me know if I can help, you won't be taxed and shipping is negligible. We got all the major lines and should be able to hook you up.

Enkei Aegis is discontinued and no longer available. I have called all kinds of wherehouse distributors and Enkei directly. No luck.

Sorry, Rishie

Options: Supposedly replaced with one piece Bortex RPM-2. This is a lightweight wheel as well. Offered in hyperblack.

I haven't bought wheels from Rishie, but he takes care of wheel orders for Rx7 forum members.

There's a ton of TE37 copy's out there ... Rishie can post the ones he has available to him. Most of the ones I've seen are cheap copies though, not anywhere near the same quality.

Come to think of it, I have bought wheels from Rishie--indirectly--through Dreamin:p

Thumbs up TE37 Knock-Offs

The Kosei K1 Racings are cheap, strong, light racing wheels. The paint finish is substandard and chipped very easily; but like I said they're cheap. I had a set of 8.5 x 16 for $169 each. They weighed a svelte 16 lbs each. Here's a Tire Rack link:

The SSR Competition is a high quality forged, lightweight TE-37T knock-off. The paint quality and clearcoat finish is first-rate. I have these and am quite happy with them in 8.5 and 9.5 x 17. They're single-piece Semi Solid Forged wheels...very strong and light at 15 and 16 lbs in their respective widths. I took mine off of Dreamin's hands (my SSR Comps are the ones Rishie unloaded to Dreamin). Here's a Tire Rack link with a pic with the SSRs' hideous truck-like centercap (I don't run them on the track, and the SSR Comps look much better without their centercaps anyway!)

IMHO, you're better off buying real Volks from Rishie. He apparently gives very good discounts. His advice is free. You should PM Rishie for your Volk Racing Wheel needs.

Good luck
