Thats a real shame, never really been that bothered about aftermarket alloys so it takes something really special to get my interest.

I think the matt black finish would've looked awesome against my silver GTI.

Do you know anyway I could source them?

So would you like me to find out some info?  :grin:
Title: Re: Is it me, or are these wheels.........
Post by: MikeGTI on 04 March 2008, 13:37
Well I genuinely would. I guess an indicative price would be the deciding factor for me.

I want the black ones, not sure about size 18", maybe 19" if they fit without problems on a GTi and again it would depend on the price difference.

Post by: joesgti on 04 March 2008, 13:43
yes info is a must!!! :wink:
Title: Re: Is it me, or are these wheels.........
Post by: joesgti on 04 March 2008, 13:50
also if your not stocking them then you may be able to sell for dealer price  :rolleyes:

OK, Ive emaild my man to get some more info on the wheel.  If i can get them (and this is a BIG IF) it will be a 1 off order (To manufacture these wheels with our branding will cost $5k just in tooling)

I also have no info on fitments as yet but i will keep you posted on availability etc as soon as i know more.

I think that i may just have a set of these myself possible have the 'orange lip' Red to match the lip stick!
also if your not stocking them then you may be able to sell for dealer price  :rolleyes:

Definatly :wink:

supplier in far east. far east is Russia? Russia has capabilities to produce high-quality forged rims. It requires high-tech machinery, and this is available in former military factories.

OK quick update.

I have found the manufacturer and they are produced by RAYS and they are only made (from what i can tell) in a 19x8 5x114.3.  I have asked my contact for info on getting 5x112 and also a better price.  The current cost is 49,000 yen (about £230) per wheel.  The Orange stickers, also from what i can tell, are optional extras no colours as yet.

RAYS for those who dont know make VERY high quality cast and forged wheels for the rice rocket market.  For some more info visit http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/indexe.html

I will let you know more as it comes in  :smiley:

Right,

19x8 available in a 5x112 pcd offset around ET50 (OK for our babies)  I can get them for £737 for the set but this does not include shipping, taxes or VAT (I can probably get them put on one of our container orders for £30-£40)

Now this price is too high for me at the minute but if anyone is realy interested then i dont mind geting them in for you.

Now, where's my pen and paper....................

Dear Santa,
