I bought these rims with the intention of running them on my TiAg e92... loved the forged strength, the design and the super light weight (spec'ed at 20-21lb, I weighed it on my scale at 21lb a piece)
... however, I am picking up a set of matte black DPE's that I love even more ![]() 19x8.5 all around et35 offset Volk's/ProDrive's metallic silver ~20lb 1-piece forged They are still new in box with all original Volk / Pro Drive / Ray's documentation, tags, lug bolts, center caps NOTE: Ray's Engineering forges rims for VOLK *and* Pro Drive - the Volk Progressive ME and Pro Drive GC-014i are the SAME rims produced by the one and only Ray's - again, they are the same thing, just rebadged. Here are some links you can check out (or google yourself): http://www.prodrive-japan.com/inform...news/20071228/ http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105386 http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=168383 http://www.iwsti.com/forums/rallyspo...gust-30th.html http://forums.evolutionm.net/sale-wh...rays-rare.html http://www.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=765485 http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=193498 ![]() Asking $2450 obo picked up I'm located in Washington state if you want to pick it up. no lowballs please, these retail for $800 per piece and are now discontinued. If I can't get enough, I'd rather keep them. Thanks for looking!

Ray's = Volks = Pro Drive
Mentioned and bolded in OP, mentioned in links, and a "RAY SENG JAPAN" stamped in the inner hub area in my posted picture along with Ray's documentation. Thanks for the bump ![]()

2.) No, the pictures on the top of the Pro Drive website you linked is for the 18" GC-014i - for some reason, whether it's the offsets or different size, the spokes do look different in those pictures However Scroll down and you will see the 19" GC-014i's, which ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS VOLK PROGRESSIVE ME's Do you see how the spokes are a little different from the 18" vs 19" GC-014i's? LOOK HERE: http://www.prodrive-japan.com/inform...news/20071228/ That's the link to the 19" GC-014i's - please tell me where the spoke differences are Again, I have always been a fan of Volk Progressives and have seen several in real life, I know what they look like and these two are the same rims my friend. You are more than welcome to come over and look at them yourself - if a member with Volk Progressive ME's branded ones would be as kind to come over so I can snap detailed pictures of both, it'll put things to rest. I will get in touch with a Pro Drive Japan customer agent, if there are any that speak english, and get an answer as well Sorry to derail, if you have any other questions or concerns, PM me, call me, email me, etc. Thanks
