Default Wheels: Volk TE37

Anyone know where to get these? I know volk made special corvette sets but I can't find any vendors to price them out. Also, these rims get a really nice concave look to them at certain offsets.. was wondering if anyone knew anything :O

(I know these wheels are controversial because they are primarily import rims, but 19" rims that weigh 17lbs and they look great.. bronze on a black vette? yum)

Google is your friend -- there's 10 pages of references, including sizes and prices, for Volk TE37s.

Not for the vette - IF you can find it at all. Also, MSRP listed is NEVER what the wheels go for, hence me asking for vendors.

I google volk te37 and get sent to 240sx forums or civic forums and ask a vendor that about vette rims and it doesn't go too well. Hence why i'm here.

What's contreversial about them? Turbos are normally on imports too but you see plenty of people shoving those on LS1s. I love Volk wheels.

I'm thinking about picking them up.. but I need to know what offset etc will fit.

iirc 18" front 19" rears - how wide should I go thought and at what offset? I have some vendors that will check pricing but I need to give them exact specs.

Default Volk's

Probably a year or so ago, I do remember somebody, sponsor/manufacturer wise, did put a set of wheels on their vette that is typically thought of as an "import wheel".

I can't seem to find the post but, IIRC seems like the guy from Stoptech brakes put a set of Volks on his car. I think it was J RITT (Jeff Ritter) or something like that.

I know, not a lot of help but, try searching for Jeff,

EDIT - Found it. It was Jeff, some of the pix. are missing now.

Yea I found that thread too, didn't help me much though :\

I just need to know the width and offset for 18" fronts and 19" rears so I can get a quote and that information wasn't in there at all - but thank you for the link nonetheless.

I'm sure you can get one from any Rays dealer.

Otherwise try http://www.westcorvetteparts.com/ they even have TE37 for C6 Z06 OEM size.
However, I don't know if they speak English.

but hey, I agree TE37s are awesome
