And they have TE37's for cheap too! $859 each!

I hope that's sarcasm. If you are willing to pay that much per wheel, you should not be driving a mazda.

Haha, didn't think the magenta font was needed for that post. But yes, sarcasm indeed.

How do they (volk) get away with charging so much?!! I know my 16lb 18" momos didn't cost that much and for the size they are only 1lb heavier per wheel...

 

[WillD]

Those Volks are awesome though.

 

[Lewis7789]

Anyone remember the Team Sahlens meet when we saw Wayne's DD Integra on white Volk TE37's? That was funny.

price/pound RPF1's seem to be the best with maybe the exception of 6UL's in 15" since you can get them in wider widths. But that's from my limited research

Volks are incredibly lightweight. Not 4X lighter as their 4X cost would indicate but when every pound counts and money isn't an option (race teams) 12 lb 16x7 wheels trump 15 lb 16x7 wheels. They're also forged wheels whereas Enkei's are not.

I wonder if it's a Bride/Takata kind of thing. They are so expensive because of the brand name?

Is it Saturday yet. I just want to wake up and race

Kind of like AutoEXE in the Mazdaspeed world? Exclusivity + brand name = $$$$$$ I guess....

I will check the pricing on the wheels

Mmmmm ok, Marc if you go to Mid-O I'd like to ride with you! And Will, you too lol!

Jess you are more than welcome to ride with me in the RX-7. I may be instructing for the Auto interests event, but if I am not I will be more than happy to help out any of the new peeps.

Next weekend Ill be working on the MSP, I`ll take the pics of the fire system so we can get the other seat in there. Will order the harness on Sunday when I get back.

 

[Pmpkinhead]

Anybody hear from Phen, is he okay?

Last i saw he was playing golf.

Heading to the airport now, Ill be back un `Murika around 2:30

 

[Pmpkinhead]

Was that after the earthquake?

Those are two of the best 15" wheels IMO. But Im biased of course having a set of each. I'd also say the PF01 and C1M/C1 are good options too.

I wonder if it's a Bride/Takata kind of thing. They are so expensive because of the brand name?

Part brand name, part because they are really good forged wheels.

I did some garage cleaning today and came across some True Red touch up paint if anybody wants it. I don't think that I'll need it anytime soon.
