VOLK is discontinuing some colors.....

[beb]

Hey guys,

I have some unfortunate news... At the end of this week, the following colors will not be available for order any longer....



Goodbye:

- ORANGE

- BLUE (The bright, metallic blue; sometimes referred *insert popular blue suspension company name here* blue lol) Dont worry, MAG BLUE is still around.

- YELLOW

- GREEN (Mainly referred to as *insert popular harness company here* green)

- NOBLE GOLD (Our lightest shade of Gold)


Sucks to see them go! :(

[Brian]

what is the blue suspension company?

ZEAL?

[FaLKoN240]

Cusco ?

[Brian]

Ohhhh yeah good call on that.

[DMaxUSA]

tokico blue, maybe?

[Brian]

I'll be glad that the stock S13 dudes can't order the goofy green oversized TE37s anymore.

WOO!

[beb]

LOL :P

It was a VERY rare color on Volk 1pc wheels, done only on special request and now itll never be available again. :(

[HyperTek]

noble gold? that ones like more a yellow right? dont think im familiar with that

[enkei2k]

oh man, so that means my noble gold GT-7's are worth more now? i think the GT-7s are discontinued also.

haha time to jack up the price for the 'omg wtf uber rare' factor. haha

/sarcasm

sick.

SICK!:rimshot::rimshot::rimshot::rimshot::rimshot: :rimshot::rimshot::rimshot::rimshot:

Noble Gold is a VERY light shade of gold. Its almost like a mix of Champagne and light Gold. Very nice color IMO.

And yes, GT7 has been discontinued for a little bit now....

[Brian]

WHat is the reason for this?

Simply minimizing options?
Easier to deal with as far as production is concerned?

[BustedS13]

are they going to be offering NEW colors of clown car wheel?

[OBEEWON]

Sweet now they have room for Rasberry Red and BlueBerry Green. Volk should make thier wheels scratch and sniff so everytime you curb your wheel the juicy smell satiates your anger.

CRAP! I scratched my rim, mmm but it smells so good!

that's genius.

also they should be multi-layered colors like a Gobstopper.

[enkei2k]

man if that was the case, that'd be awesome. my rims are totally scratched the hell up. pics can be seen in my sig lol

[OBEEWON]

Why don't drift tires smell like bubble gum yet? Jeeze, someone rip my idea off already and make a moderate ammount of money off it like the red smoke tires.

[ronmcdon]

eh, probably cost-cutting measures to deal with the hard times.
I'm glad they still have a pretty huge selection of colors,
probably more still than any existing company out there.

[beb]

I dont know the exact reason but its probably what ronmcdon said. Those colors are not sold often and stocking paint for them might not be the smartest thing right now. *shrug* Just a guess....

And yes, there are still a TON of colors available... :)

[Matej]

Gooood. Gooood.

I doubt discontinued means discontinued.


If someone had a sufficiently large stack of cash and the patience to wait for special order, I'm sure Volk could scrounge up any one of those colors.

WOO!

I too agree with this, less fucking multicolored panel S chassis with Takata green colored wheels. :down:

They didn't say anything about discontinuing custom orders...

[zenki.life]

Kumho owes me money.

Just as long as Mag Blue is around, it's all good...

[ranger240]

what a shame i was going to order an orange/green combo of staggered 18X10 and 19X11 wheels.. for proper failment naturally.

[burnsauto]

eh, just powdercoat them whatever color you want. It'll prob only add .25 lbs to each wheel, problem solved.

Doesn't rays custom paint any color anyways?

[beb]

Custom orders are done on a case-by-case basis. IF they have the paint, they might oblige your order of some of these colors or maybe with a large order... But they cannot fulfill every custom/special request asked to them...
