Get some cheap(er) used Volks off of a Japanese car on ebay and get them powdercoated if you have a certain color you want.
I found some old washing machine white ones in 17x8.5 +30 and 17x9.5 +40 (which is perfect max fitment for FC) after several months of searching ebay.
Here they are after powdercoaing- half the price of new Volks

Any authorized Volk Racing dealer can get them for you. Mackin Industries is the US importer for Rays Engineering, but I dont believe that you can order directly from them. Ordering them in a custom color will cost an additional $30/rim, but that may have gone up when Rays increased their prices a couple of months ago.

I bet the prices were rising due to the exchange rate ... If that was the case then prices would have most certainly fallen over the month of August. I am sure there is a little lag, but I would bet it is directly related.

No, Volk / Rays / Mackin have been raising prices incrementally over the years irregardless of exchange rates. They have never dropped prices. This most recent price hike was around $100 per wheel for TE37s. Thats why if you look around you will see alot of people selling brand new TE37s because they just paid $2400 for them a few months ago and can now sell them with "no wait" for 2800 (pretty lame).

Yes, price of TE37 has gone up every year.
I bought my 1st set ~6 years ago from Rishie at AutoR&D and when I looked to go w/ a wider fitment I couldn't believe how much they now cost.
After scouring the web and calling all over for quotes I think the cheapest I found 17x9.5 was $575 each.
$1,300 for a set of used TE37 in 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 with tires and some fresh powdercoat sounded really good to me after that.

I bought a set of RG-R BBS wheels a few years back, and prices have DOUBLED at least on those over these last couple of years. That is nuts! But I guess it is what it is....

Not to hijack, but
It allowed for 255 up front and 275 in the rear on stock fenders with just the lip rolled under in front and kept the offset close to stock for better handling.
What fitment do you consider perfect on the FC?
defienetely not perfect fitment, not even close

Yeah, I race solo 2- Auto X and hillclimb in a little local club.
Hmm, there are 3 cars on the 2.2 mile hill at once, but we try really hard to keep them apart :P
I want to try the Enduros next which are solo, but on a big Kart track. I think that is solo 1- supersprint.
