Despite my recent findings, the Velox VX-8's are ONLY offered in 4-lug. I know this because I asked Velox.

BUT, to my pleasant surprise, I found out that a seller is getting a batch of 5-lug's that will be available in about 2 weeks!

Here is the email he sent me:


I emailed him back asking if he knows any specifics (Rim width, weight, ect.)

HOPEFULLY this will include that black/polished lip rim, or at least a dark gunmetal one. I highly doubt it won't though, so I'm not too worried there. This guy was selling the 18x7.5 VX-8's for $588 a set!! I expect similer great deals for the 5lugs. He also says their lightweight, we will see just how light in due time.

 

bah! those rims are ghey

j/k they'd look sweet on a black car. you know you wanna trade me my stockers for your caffienes!

 

I've seen em on integras. Goodlookin rims.

 

I love that wheel. Let us know how much also. Does that come in 18x8??

 

whats the weight on those guys? they look pretty nice.

 

They are supposed to be light. Here is a quote from one of his auctions:

He has that auction set @ BUY IT NOW for $585 for the set, including
FREE PROMO ITEMS:
(2) VELOX VINYL DECALS For your ride.
(1) VELOX CENTER CAP PER WHEEL
(1) ALUMINUM VALVE STEM PER WHEEL
(1) VELOX POSTER from NEW IMPORT TUNER MAGAZINE
(1) VELOX LICENSE PLATE FRAME (* If payment recieved within 48hours of
auction close)

SOMETHING's gotta be wrong...this is a dream come true IMO. I will post every bit of info I get from him if/when he responds to my emails.

 

what the heck.

are they HOT? (aka stolen)

also. that description says noting about the weight.

i was thinking Centerline Forged rims. those puppies are super lite too! :P

 

He has pretty good feeback on eaby.. Your right Chebosto they are real cheap. I will buy this rims immediately if they are the same price for our cars...

 

those centerlines are EXPENSIVE! (well, at least for my taste)

 

Keep in mind guys that centerline wheels come in rediculously skinny sizes. 18x7...that's even getting slim for the torqueless civics. Besides, they're rims are pretty ugly IMHO.

Cheston, I'm going to e-mail him again in the beginning of November like he asked. I don't know the EXACT weight on these bad-boys yet, but I will get all the info about width, weight, colors, ect. in a couple weeks.

He sent another reply. Do I hear Group Deal!?:

Now, if he can get a price CHEAPER then $585, WITH warrenty, then sometime really sounds fishy. But, then again these will be a brand new make (5lug) and could be wider so the price will most likely be a little higher, still most likely awesome though. As it stands now his prices are amazingly cheap. But he seems like a good, honest guy and his feedback is significantly positive. Man, I can't WAIT till november!!

 

Too bad those rims only come in 18 x 7.5. I would want some 8.5, or at least 8 width. How about the Velox VX-8R, will it come out in 5-lug too? Those are almost the same, but IMO a little better looking.

 

whats the bolt pattern and offset?

 

craig - email him and find out about the vx-6. or what's the website... i'll email him myself.

 

hmmm... i might have to sell my heavy *** Moda R-6's and get these

 

they look similar to konig absolutes - pretty nice rims - not too sure how they would look on a maxima though.

 

Ill take a set as well for that price..

 

I just spoke to Velox, called the 1-888 # off there website, and they told me that this wheel is only available in 4 lug and so far there are no plans on making it 5 lug yet...

 

19?

 

The biggest size for this wheel is 18"

 

Ill take some if they have them for 17's

 

Are the forged?

Don't fall for his enticing email. It prolly means it's 25lbs compared to Tenzo's 26lbs.

$585 a set for 18's is almost TOO cheap.

 

If they'd really make them in 5 lug patterns....

http://www.groupbuycenter.com/buy.asp?row_id=6877

the VX-8 wheel is listed here for 625$ SHIPPED for a set of 18s
not only that...

it says it weighs approx 18.5 lbs each
although it doesn't exactly say that this is the 18" weight...
ossuming the 17s weigh this much... the difference between the 17s and 18s might be 2-3 lbs at most.. say it's even 4-5.. that's already pretty damn light compared to most 18s.....

hell of a deal if these fit our freaking cars

 

Yea...Velox emailed me and said they plan on making a rim similer to the VX-8 in a 5lug in a few months but that the VX-8 is only a 4lug.

I'm gonna email EG again and see what's up!

 

I wish they would hurry up and make them. There missing out on a lot of money by not making them in 5 lug..

 

I just got an email from the ebay seller and he said that this wheel will be 5 lug in about 3 weeks only the name will be PG-10. He told me to email him in 3 weeks for more info and pics.. I hope it looks exactly the same but we'll see..

 

I thought I was right the first time around (in the voxx thread). I have been looking at those for 6 months now, and everyone I spoke to said only 4 lugs.

 

Yea, that's what he told me...I emailed him to see if he has heard anything about what colors or sizes it might be available in.

Everyone just sit tight, I have a pretty good feeling about these rims.

 

19"?

 

I highly doubt it.


Guys, I just found out that these rims will be 10-spoked. The VX-8's are only 8-spoked...I think 10 will be too many for me...

But then again, the Voxx Scorze are 10-spoked, and they looked hot. With the Velox color combo and weight, the PG-10's may just be a winner.

Someone email him asking if the Velox PG-10's will be Similer to the Voxx Scorze....i've emailed him too much already and warn out my welcome.

Were they referring to the Velox VX-8R? I think that one looks a little better anyways. Almost the same, just that the ridge on each spoke goes all the way from the hub to the lip...
