Question Why would you want Faux Volks

PM ARD T2 (Rishie), and buy the real thing!

Manny,
I have the real thing on my RX-7. BUT, for my ex gf's SI she wants Volks. It is daily driven street car only.

If she gets the real thing, then i'll be changing springs for a better spring rate, then shocks to keep the rebound rate higher to keep the lighter wheels on the ground.... then upgrading rotors and pads so she will get her braking back...


needless to say, that would suck, and i would much rather be spening my free time playing with the RX-7, than the Si

hey i wonder if Rishie can get me the copies...

I think Nippon Racing makes some TE-37 knockoffs.

I'll look into the Nippon for you.

I got some white TE37's in 15,7 I bought for my Miata that are unmounted and still brand new. Not sure if that's a size you're looking at, but I will sell them at cost cause I need the money and can always buy another set later.


Thanks, Rishie

I'll get pricing on the Nippon wheel.

Are you interested in the Volk's or the Nippon's? The volks, even at my price would run about $1200.00 shipped with all hardware.

Nippons, I gotta make the call and will find out tommorrow for ya.

Well the formula 1 is the only one that even slightly resembles the TE. Here's a link to the page and just click on formula1.

Tell me what you think so I can make that call.

You're looking at around $165.00 + shipping for the wheels themselves. This is for any color and any 17" size. I would estimate around $700.00 or so with hardware and such. For that price I would get something else, like the Rota Subzero. It is way lighter and cheaper. Any color you want and will cost around $135.00/wheel. Looks like the Racing Hart CP035. www.rotawheels.com, or look into Tenzo. They have lightweight cast wheels as well.

Thanks, Rishie

Let me know what's up.
