I have, for sale, one PAIR of NEW, IN BOX Volk Racing Trophy F-Zero wheels in 17x8, 5*114.3 bolt pattern. Disc (face) is silver, rim (wheel part?) is that classic Volk Racing blue.
Offset if a sad +45, but it comes with 12mm thick hubcentric adaptors, also made by RAYS, which should make a more appropriate effective offset of +33.

These wheels are absolutely GORGEOUS! They're pristine, scratch free, and have never been mounted on a car. Original tags and stickers are still on the wheels!
They will make, as a pair, a perfect set of spare drift wheels (you'd better be pretty good to be drifting on 17s... or better yet, use these up front with sticky rubber! ) or will be perfect to compliment another pair of trophies (or similar wheels) that you may have found. These are light, too- Forged monoblock construction make these wheels weigh only as much as 15" steelies. (I don't have a scale, but I have pretty good judgement!) To be honest, I thought they felt LIGHTER than my stock 15" steelies, but that's a claim that I can't really back up.

See photos below:

All in all, you will receive:
2 Volk Racing Trophy F-Zero 17x8 +45 wheels,
2 12mm adaptors made by Rays Engineering
10 Rays engineering lug nuts (for adaptor)
2 center caps for Trophy F-zero wheels
2 blue Rays Engineering valve stems
1 center cap torx wrench (another safety measure against theives)
1 wheel cover for one of the wheels, as seen in background of photo


NOTE: this sale does NOT include the hex lug nut key that you'll need to tighten/loosen the special Rays Engineering lug nuts. you will have to buy that separately. These should be readily available from Mackin Industries (importer of Volk Racing/Rays Engineering wheels in the US). http://www.mackinindustries.com/

I am asking a very reasonable $500 for this beautiful pair of wheels. I prefer local SOCAL (los angeles) pick up, but will ship these out if needed. Shipping should be around $40 across the country, or less the closer you are to me.

I already have some volk rims for the rear. They are 18's, I was wondering what type of lug nuts I need to bolt my rims up. I bought all 4 used with tires for cheap. But anywho. My regular s13 lugs do not fit the lug holes on the rim. So I have to buy Volk lug nuts?
Also I am interested in your rims, but I have to buy my clutch and muffler first. After that.. then give me a yell..

Hi! You have email. :)
Also, I'm not sure exactly how the volk lugnuts work. AFAIK, the RAYS lugnuts that you buy at stores are "regular" lugnuts, only super-light. The lugnuts that came with the pair of volk trophy f-zero wheels are different, though. They aren't typical lugnuts, and may indeed be what you need.
I'm curious which volk wheels you already have; I suspect that it may only be the Volk F-Zero series (daytona F-zero, trophy f-zero, Challenge F-zero etc) that requires these special lug nuts.

I Still don't have your e-mail.. but either ways..
I got volk winning rims. They are 18x8.0 with +45 offset.
Alot of people tell me I need spacers for those rims.. but not true at least for the front.. I tried them on.. and they are just fine.. they tuck really well in my wheel well. I need some 17's for the front.. cause the 16's do not look so good. Really big wheels on the back and small in the front I don't know too much about that.
Can you send me your e-mail address???

ahhhh I see. I have some other lu gnuts (not rays) that might work. If you're interested in trying them out, let me know. I don't know if driving all the way up here just to try it out is worth it to you, but if they fit, maybe it'll be worth more. :)

No, sorry, I don't... these wheels have never been mounted, and are very, VERY rare! I haven't seen any photos (not even in Japanese magazines) of cars with these wheels mounted... but you can rest assured that they'll look *sweet*. :D

maybe because they are ugly!

not only does the offset suck, but they have very little "dish" and the accent color is blue! *puke* i'm sure you find a buyer though, adey. :D

d00d!! haha these things are BEAUTIFUL!! I honestly like the 10-spoke, it looks super good. Offset could be much worse (+33 on an 8" wheel?? That's not bad!! ) ... I'll admit though, the blue accent is a little... cheesy. :) But the wheels are great! Light and strong, good looking (less color) and stylish. Rare, too!

So far I've had 2 offers... both have fallen through... oh well, we'll see... Thanks for your "support". :D
