I need some help B 4 I go nutz....

Holy crap....

I recently found out that the Volk lll (the only mesh wheel the wanted) was discontinued...

So I talked to Rishi and he said that he might not even be able to get them for me...

So I started looking for a replacement and now that iv found them i i cant get any damn info on them.

the wheels are from Work...

I need pic / info / anything you can find...

If anyone has any other ideas of what wheel i could use in place help me out...

Here is a pic of the Volk lll


Here are the other ones from Work im looking at as subs..
<-- Euroline M

<-- VS-MX & VS-XX Chrome

We do work so just let me know which one ya want. We have a work importer here in San Francisco.

Rishie

I like the VS-XX and the VS MX. Thsoe are sweet. Probably go with the XX for more of a sporty look as the face looks to be flat whereas the MX has some concavity to it or something.

Diameter and widths.

I dont really know the offset chart to well so heres a shot in the dark..

Do you have a widebody or a standard body?

Thanks, Rishie

I'll find out offsets once I know this.

Typically +50 offsets front and rear for 9-10s. What about your tire size?

We have to answer the questions in this order. So please answer these one by one before asking more questions. Ready.

1) Are you going to add a wide body kit or keep your standard body?

That's number one.

i'll check back in a few.

S-03's max out at a 285, so you only need a 10" width. If you want what Petit has you'll need to add a widebody.

That's the way to go 9.0" and 10.0". What type of suspension do you have, coilovers?

I'd run 245/35 and 285/30/18. That's the ****. The only two tires I've seen in these two sizes are the Pirelli Pzero and Falken GRB-451. This is the only good Falken and not really expensive. IMO.

I'll look into those offsets but need to know about your suspension first.

A +45 to +50 will work in the front and rear.

Thanks, Rishie

...and heavy. I was going to get those until a reply from them said the XX is 20+ kgs, or around 40lbs, for the 18X10s. Yikes.

If you like the VolkIII's, you'll probably like the Gewalt Evolutions:

http://shop.store.yahoo.com/lexusparts/wheelsel.html

Here they are on my car, 18X10 +44 rear, 18X8.5 +44 front. I sold them earlier this year, but want them again so! Wheels were disassembled and the centers painted gunmetal before they were shipped to me.



Rishie is right - it will take a couple months or three when ordering custom wheels form Japan like this. Unless someone has a set exactly what you want here, that's just the way it is.
