LIMITED PRODUCTION Forged Monoblock Volk TE37SL, they have a slight concave to them and are only 11.5 lbs each!

5 sets were made in this spec by Volk Racing and we have 1 set for the buyer who wants the ultimate in exclusive, strong, and light. We will NOT break up the set. Yes, price is for ONE wheel, but you need to order FOUR.

Sweet Jesus! $600 per wheel! That's not even delivered!

They are beautiful but I got my set of 4 delivered and they are only marginally heavier at 5.5kg per wheel for 15x6.5

Yah but they are 8's not 6.5 so the weight difference would be bigger if you compared same size and offset.

Watanabes new are about 580 AUS a rim delivered and they aren't forged or limited run or in that offset!
Be very surprised if they last long at all. You would get them delivered for about the same price charlie spent refurbishing his BBS and putting custom lips on and is now selling for $2500. Charlies are a nice rim, but it's not like you couldn't make another set if you had the desire and the money.

I'd buy them in an instant if i was currently shopping around for new rims and was looking at other JDM brands.

Yep, these would go really quick. Decent offset and 8" wide too! Wouldn't mind a set if I had the cash.

Don't get me wrong they are a beautiful rim, but the price is making my eyes water! Maybe it wouldn't hurt so much if I had a brand new NC!

I wonder how much heavier 1.5" of width would be because the 16x8 version of my wheel is about 6.5kg
