Anyone interested in Volk 21A group buy?

[Gearhead55]

A buddy of mine is a Volk Rays dealer and inquired about ordering a batch of 21A in 5x120. The distributor said they would make them for us but we need to order at least 5 sets. I'm trying to get 18x10.5 +22, not sure if they can mix and match other sizes as well. Would anyone be interested in putting a deposit down on a set?

They come in two finishes, bronze or dark gunmetal with a polished lip. I'm kind of partial to the bronze. The wheel kind of looks like a 1-piece BBS E88.

I have considered them as track only wheels setup in 18x9.5 et30 & 18x10.5 et30 or et22. Would like them in Silver with polished lips.

System Motorsport can have them in the following colors:

want these because it’s cheaper than the LMs and comes in 18inch

Just spoke to Thompson at System Motorsport re the 21a. He said it’s about 4100 and it’ll take anywhere from 6-12 months for it to come. $1000 deposit required. 18x9.5et22 dark gunmetal with polished lip.

I’m interested if it’ll be cheaper and quicker to get! Crazy that people will wait a year for wheels.

My fenders are shaved/rolled. Currently running apex arc8 squared 18x9et30 but have 25mm spacer in the rear and 12mm in the front. Would I be able to run 18x10.5et22 squared? Running 255/35/18 tires

What's the bbk clearance for these?

depends on how much negative camber you run, but especially with a 255 you can fit them. I use either 265 or 275 on 10.5 +22 up front with -3.4 to -3.8 camber.

I'm not interested in the 9.5 size that System Motorsport offers, thats not wide enough for me.

Through my guy it would probably be similar wait time and deposit.

I dunno about BBK clearance, but my guess is it would be similar to ZE40/CE28N


This is a 10.5 +22 square for reference:

Damn you!

I have some mag blue TE37s on my model Y performance and now you’re making me look into some 5x120 to 5x114.3 adapters so I can throw them on my e46 m3!!!!!

Hard say because the spokes are more inward and flat and not towards the face and concaved.

I would potentially be interested pending final cost. Gorgeous wheel. Gunmetal with polished lip for me. I would entertain either a 18x10 square or some sort of staggered street setup.

Do it!

Final price would likely be 44xx, Rays just increased their prices I think. Go big and do 10.5 square. It looks cooler and tires perform better with a slight stretch.

I think we would all need to do the same size, but we could choose different finishes. I'll get confirmation on that.

Hmm thats $300 more than what SM quoted me. Wouldnt you want to go through them?

They only have the 9.5 width size. The 41xx price is for the current batch, my guess is if SM gets new ones in they will be at the 44xx price too. I'll inquire with them too though

Call me old fashioned but I liked it better when savings from a group buy actually got passed down to the participants

If you're not going through Thompson or Chuck then you're getting ripped off.
