Was just looking through the Volk Racing's fitment guide sitting on my desk.. and guess what? Volks fit. They're not just for mk4s anymore.

Volk GT-Cs: 17x8, 4-114.3, +9mm offset

Volk GT-Ps: 17x8, 17x9, 4-114.3, +16mm offset (a 5mm spacer might improve the looks but is not necessary)

Volk TE37s 15x7, 4-114.3, 0mm offset

Hell.. Mike's old school.. Can't get it out of his system. :lol:

But I know what he's talking about. Certain cars demand certain styles.

 

[Supra GTR]

Well I certainly don't want to lead anyone on. For what its worth, I was looking at the newest catalog from Volk.. the one with the Jomo Card+ Supra. Then again... we've had to discontinue wheels right after we published our catalog.

 

[Supra GTR]

GT-A's are available in 17x8, 17x9, 4-114.3, +16mm offset. This one will fit too. Can use a 5mm spacer to look right.

GT-7's are also avail in 17x8, 4-114.3, +18mm
17x9, 4-114.3, +18mm, or -1mm, or +6mm


There is also a new wheel called the GT-U. A really retro BBS look. (perfect for Mike's taste :wink: ) Right now only 18" applications in 5-114.3. They are going to be releasing 17" soon. I will check aplns for mk2s when they are available.

Andrew: Thanks for the pic. Was wondering where I was going to put that.

Volks are not custom made per se. They offer certain bolt patterns with certain offsets and sizes. I have to determine it's due to their machine setups. Thats why you will never see a Volk on a Firebird/Camaro/Corvette. They don't make that bolt pattern. Unless someone took the time to fill and drill. Volk just started to offer TE37s for Porsches. I would have to think it's because of the large quantity of Porsches competing in the JGTC.

But if you opt to go for centerlock wheels.. You can get a decent JGTC-spec magnesium TE37. :shock:

Andrew:

Only the TE37 listed a 0mm offset. I believe I listed all the available sizes with their corresponding offsets. The closest is +9. (My Racing Harts are +10mm front and rear)

Chad:

Email me at work: [email protected] for pricing. Warning .. these are about as high as Racing Harts

 

[Supra GTR]

Let me see if I can summarize everything so far:

Volk Racing fitments

GT-Cs: 17x8, 4-114.3, +9mm offset

GT-Ps: 17x8, 17x9, 4-114.3, +16mm offset

GT-As: 17x8, 17x9, 4-114.3, +16mm

GT-7s: 17x8, 4-114.3, +18mm
17x9, 4-114.3, +18mm, or -1mm, or +6mm

TE37s: 15x7, 4-114.3, 0mm offset (still available as of 04/07/03)


I think I got them all.

 

[Supra GTR]

No specs on the GT-Us in 17" yet. As soon as I get them, I will post them. Keep your fingers crossed for low offset 4-114.3

 

[Supra GTR]

I personally don't recommend using loose spacers on anything. We happen to have 5mm spacers... thats sort of why I mentioned them.

5mm and up spacers will make the wheel non-hubcentric... which makes it more prone to vibrating. There goes all the work balancing the tires.

You can use what is known as ET lugs on wheels with up to a 7mm spacer. These lugs actually reach further into the wheels. They look like acorn lugs with a mag-like extension. But this point is moot on most Volk Wheels considering most require their own super small diameter lugs.

You can get custom bolt-on spacers with hubs machined onto them... at a cost.

I guess the whole point of what SUPRAFIEND, Malloy, me and whole host of others have said before. If you're going to spend money on anything, do it right. No matter if its wheels or other parts. Volks listed above will fit without the need for spacers.

 

[Supra GTR]

Sorry we don't deal with SSR's... at least not through their direct importer. Might have to do it grey market.

 

[Supra GTR]

According to the US importer - TE37s are still available in the mk2 fitment. Long wait though since they will have to be made.

 

[Supra GTR]

Yeah good find. You guys are good.

At least now we know what a mk2 looks like with these high performance race wheels.

Dogstar:

Yes, the Volks are about as pricey as you think they are. Some even higher. To really appreciate the Volks, you have to see them tested to failure. As morbid as this sounds, to destroy a wheel shows its true nature.

A co-worker had a set of TE-37s on his Civic. He had waited 6 months to get them. 2 months after owning them.. A van tried to own him. Needless to say he was driving stupid before that. But nevertheless the car got pushed into the curb. His rotors were split in 2. ... The TE-37s? There were intact. Only some curb rash. He was even able to drive the car to work on the TE-37s.

Ultralightweight and brutally strong. Can't say enough about them from a performance aspect.

And like the TE-37s, the other wheels that Volk Racing/Rays Engineering makes are some of the best wheels out there.

This will give me another excuse to go buy Max Power Magazine. (Like the beautiful half naked birds weren't enough. And I don't think they would let me browse through that magazine at work ) (Wonder if they'll let me write off a trip to the UK as a business expense? :twisted: )
I do remember seeing some wheels that looked to be close to 4-lug 0mm offset in the magazine ads toward the back.

Pat (from the UK) had ordered a set of I-forged wheels. Right now he is experiencing what some of us dreaded: Dealing with an inexperienced company overseas. Hopefully, I-forged will resolve their issues and send him the wheels he wanted.

If you deal with a reputable company who knows their product you shouldn't have too many problems. All the information you need is in this thread or even under the FAQ page on this site: www.celicasupra.com

8" wide max in front 0mm to +15mm offset
9" wide max in rear 0mm to +15mm offset
center bore = 60.1mm
bolt pattern = 4-114.3mm = 4-4.5"

Your best bet is to find a local shop that deals with Braid (Spanish - built) and/or Simmons (Australian-built). I figure these are easier to find in your part of the world than the Japanese wheels. Probably a little bit cheaper.

If you can't find a wheel shop locally that deal with Volk Racing/Rays Engineering, Simmons, Racing Hart, Forgeline, HRE, Fikse, Billet Specialties, Weld, or even Braid, then you might need to deal with a company overseas from either the US, Japan, or Australia. You might want to try your high end tuner shops that deal with Japanese cars. This should be a good but do-able challenge for them.

Right now shipping from the US is about $200 for a set of wheels plus customs/duties/tariffs, etc. Of course that number will change depending on the carriers and exchange rates.

(Heading to the local book store to buy Max Power 8) )

There is a shop in GA that sells Volk Racing. Knowledge Performance in Woodstock, GA sells Volks. I know because we are their distributors. Their # is 678-445-0688.
