POSSIBLE VOLK VENDOR. Need all of your input

Well guys I can possibly get an account with Volk but need your input. I need to know which specific wheels you guys are most interested in so I can inquire with them.

If you follow this link, it would give you the name of each wheel http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/indexe.html

I know that the TE37's may be a hot pick but I need some more in order to set up a group buy. I've also included a poll so please let me know which ones you guys need so I can get this moving.

Another problem is that if Volk Japan does not have the wheels in stock it may take 3-4 months to ship them out to you because they have to be special made, again.

I'm looking to switch to the Volk RE-30, Limited Silver, in the spring. Apparently you can actually get the Limited Silvers in a 19x8 in a 5x120 bolt pattern according to one website, but if you could check that would be awesome. I know there are quite a few of us interested in the RE-30s.

Progressiv ME's are super popular as well, so you should probably look into those. They're probably the highest in demand Volk wheel on e90post.

I would venture to say that on the E92, the TEs are probably the most used (myself included!), but someone always has a set in stock, so i'm not sure it would be worth your time to compete?

Alright cool, thanks for your input. I'll look into progressiv ME's and RE's. I'll let you guys know what's up. I'll give this poll until the end of the week though to see what responses I get. That way I can send a bulk info email to volk.

Actually the TE37s are completely out of stock in this country. I searched up and down for the past month and couldn't find any. Even my source in Japan were out of them...... I pre-ordered the TE37 G2 instead.

I mentioned that if Volk Japan did not have the wheels in stock it would take 3-4 months to get another shipment in. That's the only bad thing about Volk though, if they are out of stock it's hard to get a hold of.

I voted RE30; I always like multispoke rims. I had a set of CE28N's on my 350Z and they were light as hell

Not a problem. So far this thread is building up good interested. I'll wait it out until Sunday to see what wheels come up here the most and I'll post a group buy the following week.

Really? I just was thinking of the supreme power threads all the time.

But if thats the case, In5ane, get these in. I had to do the whole 5 month wait, and I would NEVER wish such torture on ANYONE.

+1000 to SF Winnings or SF Challenges which I believe also resemble the GTS.

I would also buy the GT7s in diamond black, ohhh I miss my G35...

Unfortunately I know Chris @ F1 motorsports and he has a very good/close relationship with Work and Volk Japan, and he couldnt pull any magic to get ANY of the Volk SF/GT lineup in 5x120 bolt pattern...

Please change my vote to Challenges or Winnings...Accidentally chose GT30

Also some of the people who voted, chose wheels which are already available. I think if people could see some of Volks nicer GT and SF series on some BMWs theyd like the better.

The TE/CE/LE although light weight track wheels are played out IMHO...

I want some VOLKS with LIPS!!!

I have their 2007-2008 catalogue sitting in the office and I seriously am not interested in their other wheels, or they have too low offsets (at least for Japanese cars). But to each their own.

I know thats the name of your brand... but the math nerd inside me really wants you to sell wheels at prices <90.
