Well since my wheels have been peeling and I really don't like them, alot of you know I have been talking about getting new wheels..well I have come to a decision. They are Volk Rays "United Arrows" Line. The model is "WR's". In Bronze. Not sure if you have them in the states. Won't get them for about a week on order from Volk. To check them out go here:
http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/2004e/products/frame_w.html

Then click "United Arrows"
Then Click "WR"

Tell me what you think

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-25-2005, 06:56 AM

Like an ugly version of Work Emotion CR-Kai...
I'm not digging them, but if you like them and they come in the size/offsets you want, go for it.

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-25-2005, 06:56 AM

oh and they're cast too..

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-25-2005, 06:59 AM

if you go cast, go with something like the Daytona Racing 505s in 18x9 +18 or such.

kuramaya · 06-25-2005, 07:30 AM

Well it was these or the Buddy Club P1's I just like this style...not into the deep dish look...plus affordability owns me, I can get these for 78,000 for the set through a shop that takes care of me...Im still goin for it...I'll rock 'em and sell the volks I have now for 20,000 towards my T28

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-25-2005, 07:40 AM

i see i see.
depends on the size of the P1 (fro me anyway)...
well, post up pics when you get them on!

kandyflip445 · 06-25-2005, 08:23 AM

I like the Work ones too. That's like around 800 in USD right? That's not that bad.

yeah about 750 with rate right now, including stems...no lugs though..offsett is 32...

kandyflip445 · 06-25-2005, 08:52 AM

They're definately an upgrade from what you have now. LOL. I never liked your current wheels. Post some new pics when you get them mounted! What tires are you going to run? Something we don't have here?

infinitexsound · 06-25-2005, 06:06 PM

i like em rockem... just wish they had a dish

atom · 06-25-2005, 06:21 PM

No offense but the sizes and offsets offered on that wheel suck complete goat ass. Total FWD wheel.
18x7.5 +35
17 x 7.0 +32

PASS

If you like the style get the CR Kai's. At least they come in decent sizes and offset for S cars.

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-25-2005, 06:30 PM

holy carp. I didn't even look at the sizes. those really are doodoo.

kuramaya · 06-25-2005, 06:44 PM

well im still getting 'em

do you reccomend I get 32, 42, or 50 offset? Im a motor guy, not a wheel guy..obviously you all can tell that since my choice is not liked by the masses

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-25-2005, 07:02 PM

32. get the lowest offset possible..

Seriously though (no flaming) those wheels will look like doo. Those sizes really stink.
You should be looking for something that's 8" wide minimum, with around +20 offset maximum.

kuramaya · 06-25-2005, 07:12 PM

just called the shop and the guy says they have a 22 Offsett available, i dont see it on t he website though...so I guess I will go with 22 then

Caps Lock · 06-25-2005, 07:19 PM

Sorry to be off topic, but I thought these rims were nice:

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-25-2005, 10:58 PM

lowest offset + greatest width, so yes, +22.

kuramaya · 06-29-2005, 03:06 AM

Well Great news for me...today I went to Autobacs continuing my search for wheels. They are having a campaign since it is bonus time of the year for Japan...They Japanese Guy working was a drifter and somehow helped me talk my wife into getting Work EMotions

. With the campaign I am getting the following for 130,000 Yen with tires, lugs, and installation!

Front
17 x 8
Tires 235/45/17

Rear
17 x 9
Tires 255/40/17

Here is a pic from my phone at the shop of the wheels

Here is a pic off the work website

so now no one can talk trash about me getting weak wheels...My wife was being extra cool today and loaning me 300 bucks for the wheels and tires..

***FaLKoN240*** · 06-29-2005, 03:22 AM

I hope you're NOT paying extra for installation. Because if you are. . .shame on you. But, other than that, nice wheels. I'm sure the other zilvians will approve.

kandyflip445 · 06-29-2005, 03:25 AM
