cfoster Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 As above i want to buy a set of alloys for my Z but cannot find any i like except for the Volk Racing range, which are silly money and out of budget!!! Are there any wheels out there that are similar to the Volks style wheels? I'd want an offset around 12 - 15, 10x19, similar to the Volk GTSs (deep dished 5 spoke). Chris Quote
IanS16 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 why not see if you can find some second hand Volks - pretty sure they wouldn't devalue too much but worth a look Quote
Jay Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 why not see if you can find some second hand Volks - pretty sure they wouldn't devalue too much but worth a look They are like hens teeth tho and when the do appear on the market second hand they get snapped up very quickly. Quote
cfoster Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Not so much saving, its persuading the missus to waste that much money on wheels!! Looked into second hand ones but as you say rare as you like. Sarnie - Every tom dick has Rota's over here now, wanted something different. I've seen some Axis Wheels on my350z which seem cheaper but not sure of the availability over here. Just seen the Linea Corsa's rarerims has, mmmm.!! Quote
Digsy Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Which Volks though? There are tons of different styles. Quote
IanS16 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Which Volks though? There are tons of different styles. I think he's after Volk GTS' mate Quote

cfoster Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Indeed GTS's or the GT-U's i quite fancied. Ah well back to the drawing board!! Quote
Digsy Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 These Rotas aren't dissimilar to GT-Us. http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/produc ... ts_id=5772 Quote
IanS16 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Inovit make Volk/Rays replicas.. Search on ebay.co.uk for Inovit alloys, most are 17s or 18s though. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-Inovit-ST-VI-B ... 45ed1832c0 No I DO have a HKS exhaust clone but there is absolutely NO CHANCE you'd see me rollin on some RAVS Quote

Either save a bit more and buy some genuine Rays or look at something else, safety is important. Can you tell I don't like copies Quote
Cragus Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Volk GTS Phantoms are what wheel dreams are made of - especially with a red lip! Quote
Jay Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 WHY WHY WHY WHY did you have to post that craig lol. I LOVE them Quote
Cragus Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 One day Jay - they will be mine, oh yes, they will be mine! Quote
Cragus Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Roughly the same as the Vokl GTS as far as I am aware Ian - pretty much the same wheel apart from the black inner. The red lip would have to be added once you have bought them which is kinda a gutter after you have paid like £2k for them - sets them off brilliantly though! Quote
cfoster Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Those Phantoms are lovely!! How much are they in teh states?! Just remembered im going there very soon so may see about shipping them back!!!!!!! Those reps do nothing for me, as said above you do get what you pay for!! Quote

Those reps do nothing for me, as said above you do get what you pay for!! Get me a set while you are at it! Best bet mate is probably contacting Adam at Z1 for a price from the US. I wish I hadnt posted the pic now- you're going to get them before me Quote
cfoster Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Ill see what price I can work out. I bought a limousine from the US about 5 years ago and stacked the container up with Summit Racing goodies for my track car!!!! I'll look into pricing! Chris Quote

Cragus Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Good stuff foster - get a good price and I am in Quote
