These wheel's retail for $640 each with special colors like gunmetal costing an additional $50 more.

If you look REALLY hard you can find these wheels for under $550 without shipping.

The carbon fiber center caps that come with this group deal retail for $200 a set at $50 each.

1600 shipped is a great price. Honestly I was sore cause I bought mine for way more! I'm just here to pass on this great deal to others on the org since everywhere I go I generate interest. Someone always offers to buy my wheels. Well People nows your chance.

That is a great price. I was going to start a GD for the Volk TE-37's myself and that is an excellent price for an 18". I hope this GD goes through for you.

The TE's do not. The polished lips are on the LE37T's.

It would be wise to post links to some pictures of the wheels.

Sorry for the delay but the group deal is still on. I'm waiting for 10 people to PM to get on the list.

I believe my distributor can get other volk wheels but PM and I will get you his contact information and you can work out a seperate deal with him. This GD is only for the 18x8.5 te-37's only cause that's what he has in stock. Sorry no 16's, but like I said PM and i'll forward you his contact information. Also the gunmetals don't have a polished lip sorry. =)

So basically if you want in PM me with ur name and your color choice and i'll update this thread as follows.

As far as payment goes I will forward you a payment address to send checks, money orders etc. to. I'm still checking to see if the distributor will allow for COD. I'll keep you posted on that. I am also checking on credit card payments as well as paypal but these two options are unlikely. Once we get 10 people is when you will be instructed to send money.

Wheels will be shipped out according to your position on the GD list. So those who respond first get priority. He already has some wheels in stock so it's just a matter of getting 10 people as quickly as possible.

Also for those of you who do not know what these wheels look like you can check out my cardomain site. There are other members on here that have the same wheels in different colors so if you have the search function I would implore you do so.

I'm sure he can get different sizes but this deal is only for the specified size. Meccanoble go ahead and PM and i'll send you his contact information and maybe you can work something out on the side.

As for PAYPAL and credit card, he does accept both. The money has to clear paypal and his bank account first though. For checks he will send out once he recieves your check and if it clears.

interested in a set of silver. Not positive as of yet but I will keep you updated. 2 Questions tho: These are genuine volks right? and how long after 10 people are in can we expect them to be shipped? Thanks.

I was told that these wheels are JDM and are a little bit different than the ones sold in the u.s. But they are genuine volks.

As for shipping, the wheels will be ready right away. Actually he said it was alright to start forwarding the first few customers. For those of you on the list I will PM you payment instructions.

Are 40mm offset the only size for $1600? I have a set of Brembo Gran Turismo brakes with 17X8 SSR Integrals 32mm and they barely clear. I'm wondering if the 40mm Volks will clear.

Yes $1600 includes carbon fiber volk centercaps essentially a $200 dollar value. So you guys are getting a really good deal.

I don't think he sells tires, so you will have to find another source for that.

As for the offset, there is a lot of clearance with 40mm, and the way that the rim is designed. But to be sure, I would post and pose this question on the .org and maybe someone who actually has this combo will be able to shed more light. The only other offset that comes with this size is 38mm.

I have 40 mm offset on my te's and they clear just fine. However I have the 18x7.5 width so I dunno if that matters. Whoever gets in this GD is getting a fantastic deal!!! I kinda want to sell my volks and get in this.....

iliac i know how you feel man. I paid $2200 for my rims not including tax. I could have saved $600+ BTW. do you have centercaps in your sig? I couldn't tell.

As for the design of the wheel, I don't know what to tell ya. I guess it's a matter of taste. IMO there's only a few wheels that look good with the maxima. I'm a big fan of the touring look so when I was deciding on a wheel I used BTCC as a big reference. Ultimately I chose the te-37 because of it's japanese roots and I saw some on a supra and skyline that looked bad ****.

So the 40mm offset is what is ideal for stock brake setup, well I am getting some brembo cross drilled.

*** IMPORTANT ***

Alright guys all the wheel shipments are in. I'm waiting for him to send me a paypal address for those who were interested in paying that way. I'm also getting a number in which you need to call if you are going to use credit card.

Everyone that is on the list PM me with your shipping address and list the method of payment you will be paying by. If you are paying by check or money order I will reply with a payment address for which you are to forward payment to.

Once your payment clears the wheels will be shipped out. Originally we were gonna wait for ten but the distributer has good faith and is willing to start shipping out the first set of wheels.

JBL85 I have added you to the list.

For those that want more pics here are some members webpages
