cfoster Posted March 8, 2010 Share 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).

IanS16 Posted March 8, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 8, 2010 Share 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.

cfoster Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share 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.!!

Can't think of any decent copies of the GTS, I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfoster Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Indeed GTS's or the GT-U's i quite fancied. Ah well back to the drawing board!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 These Rotas aren't dissimilar to GT-Us. http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/produc ... ts_id=5772 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Inovit make Volk/Rays replicas..

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Volk GTS Phantoms are what wheel dreams are made of - especially with a red lip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanS16 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 how much are the GTS phantoms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted March 8, 2010 Share 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!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfoster Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share 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!
