I dunno though... looking at them with BLUE stickers, I could accept that they are pretty adult-removal-proofed. As long as I had some assurance that they are Gloss Black with BLUE. If they were gonna be any other color, I wouldn't be able to do them. Gloss Black is still sick though.

Just wanted to clarify, that my TE37's are FLAT black and not GLOSS black. Can't speak for the effect on the gloss black finish, but my "slowly scratching them off" method didn't effect my finish at all. But again, mine are flat black.

I'm not quite sure if this is being directed at us, but I can assure you that the wheels pictured in this thread are the actual ones for sale. I personally took the pictures and can confirm that both gloss black and flat black TE37s use the blue stickers ;)

I am not sure if peeling them off the gloss black finish would be any different from the flat black. I have only seen stickers removed when they were being repainted :/

I like the flat black better....

Dumb question: What is the difference between matte black and flat black?

I think the official Rays color designation (according to their literature) is "matte black" but matte and flat are used interchangeably by most people, including Rays sometimes. There are not two different variations of the "flat" look. Not a dumb question :)

fyi, you'll want a drop with these wheels...at stock ride height those fronts are going to be sticking out past the fender about 10-12mm

pm price please? :)

Ryan@IP 08-20-2009 08:36 AM

We do highly recommend at least a mild drop in order to achieve enough negative camber up front to make this set look flush. The front wheel is considered "aggressive fitment" although it doesn't take too much effort for them to look absolutely perfect, as we have seen with several other forum members.

PM sent!

Ryan@IP 09-01-2009 08:59 AM

Still available!

Ryan@IP 11-16-2009 12:13 PM

Back up for sale!

Seibon edition also available in the same fitment.

Ryan@IP 11-17-2009 09:01 AM

PM's sent! :)

Well if you say it's possible, and no residual damage, I think for something as goregous as these, I'd be patient to make sure to do it right. And you said the Goo Gone cleaned up any residue? Or did you have to use something like a wheel cleaner?

No not at all, I'm just saying like you said earlier about special wheels getting different stickers. I didn't know if they made sets with different sticker colors. Like having a check on the outside of the box saying what color stickers they have...

I'm just a bit bitter when it comes to ordering wheels since I ordered a set for my tC. But what I ordered wasn't what I recieved.

Ordered: Tenzo Passion 5's Gloss Black 18x7.5 w. Nitto Neo Gen's
Recieved: R-1 Racing GTR-4's Gloss Black 19x8 w. Kumho Ecsta SPT's

Needless to say I was thoroughly pissed. And I never heard a word from the company after my account was charged. Didn't help that I was oversea's and couldn't do anything about it.

But no I wasn't trying to say anything towards your company. I'm really really looking at getting a set of these. I just can't decide if i wanna go with a Chrome lip or not. I really love that look of Black on Black with the lip. I dunno about all black. :confused:

SAllen0400 12-02-2009 12:36 PM

Yes, i just used Goo Gone to clean it up after I was done scratching them off with my fingernails (didn't wanna use a tool for fear of scratching). Took a while, but be patient... it's worth it. No residual damage on mine.

Blue is the only color sticker to come on these Volk's. The time attack version offered red stickers, but they are now discontinued... (my TE37's had to be custom painted to get the time attack look) . You can purchase the red stickers separately for about $120 for the set (2 stickers per wheel).

As for the chrome lip, those would be the LE 37's (great looking wheel), but they are also discontinued, so would be nearly impossible to find in the correct offsets for our Z's.

Thats rediculous for stickers... :ugh2:

Damm Damm Damm! :shakes head:

Do you have any other pics of your's so I can see what it looks like on a MB Z, cause thats what I'm getting.
