Volk Racing Outer Rims

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the outer rims on Volk racing alloys are all the same?

I've damaged the outer rim on one of my alloys and want to replace it however i can't find anybody that can source me the outer rim on it's own and i can't find my alloy anywhere (i'm not even sure what the model number is but it looks similar to a GTC)

I've attached an image of my car so you can see the alloys.
Would really help if you guys could tell me what model it actually is as well as whether or not the outer rim from a similar alloy (like the GTC) would fit on mine.

Those are Group-C's or CV-Pro's.
Volk doesn't make them anymore.

Any of the GT-series (i.e. GT-7, GT-P, etc.) Volk Racing rims are interchangable, but I cannot confirm if they will fit your older wheel style.

You need to find a local wheel repair shop. they have access to companies that make the lips for wheel manufactures and should be able to locate a new lip for you.

I am unfamiliar with VOLK, however like many manufactures today... they may buy there wheels from a wheel MFR and put there label on them and sell them as there own. Hence, the lips are still available... you could also contact VOLK for more information

Thanks for all the info,

Does anybody know who the manufacturers for Volk are? or where i could get my hands on a 17x9 Volk Racing cv-pro alloy/outer rim.

I've found a couple 17x7 and 17x8.5's.... which is really really annoying!

I contacted them and well none of the outer rims on their current lines are compatible with my alloy =(

Am pretty much at a dead end

Volks are made by Rays Wheels....they are not relabeled!

If a shop cannot repair the wheel, you are probably going to have to try and find another wheel of the same type/size for sale.
