my roomate has some velox wheels that are brand new.

i am not sure what model they are kinda look some what like the volk gtns. or the adr skudos or something.

they are 18's in the goldish color with polished lip. very nice looking wheels and seem pretty light for the size.
I am pretty sure they are made in japan.

i think he would be interested in selling them. If you want to stop by sometime and look at them let me know. I can put you in touch with him.

18's are pretty big not sure what size you are looking for but they would looke sweet on your charcoal se


later,
James

There's one good velox wheel Eric and that's the forged one. for the price they sell that wheel I wouldn't buy it.

To be honest, the Rotas are the best damn lightweight cast wheel I've encountered. others are good but none at the price of the Rotas.

You're looking for a functional street and race wheel, correct?

Functional street wheel... These won't be race wheels. I already have a set of diamond racing 13x8's with Hoosiers that see all my track and AutoX duty.

The only racing these will see is stoplight to stoplight.

Cool. I'll keep an eye out now that I pretty much know exactly what you're looking for.
