Recommendations on places to purchase wheels

JSPEED · 02-23-2022, 04:53 AM

Looking into maybe purchasing some volk te37's. Anyone recommend any places to purchase from? Looks like everywhere I checked doesnt have them in stock in Z fitment sizes and should be a couple months of waiting for order.

Getyourwheels is a forum sponsor - no personal experience but I've only ever heard excellent reviews about them.

Bought mine from Kamispeed. Not sure how the service is now since Covid crap.

This is the 2nd time I am working with them, easy, pricing is a bit cheaper then TireRack. Good communication..

My only problems are the tires I want, but then again, living in strange times...

As of 1/20/22, System Motorsport had one set of TE37SL in bronze in stock
standard 370Z fitment, 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +12
They're in San Jose area, so if you're in the North Bay you can just get them.

There is only distributor for Rays in North America (Mackin)
370Z market is mostly dead
Stocking inventory costs money
Civic Type R, Toyota 86/Subie BRZ, Supra, STI are pretty much all anyone's going to keep inventory of in a warehouse
Anything else is special order, and logistics from Japan is crap

If you can't grab the set above, your best bet is hope for a used set or eat the waiting time for special order

FWIW, at least one place is saying the "discontinued" TE37SL is once again . . . not so discontinued, even as Rays pushes their SAGA and ULTRA stuff

posting this here because

https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/product...=TE37SAGA_SL_M

Rays now offering TE37 Saga "M-Spec" which . . . appears the delete the machined logo on the spoke and replaces it with a neon sticker

so now you can buy TE37 Sagas without the feature that makes it a Saga and turns it back into a special edition SL

fuckin Rays

Hey OZ,

Do you know anything about these 5Zigen Copse wheels? I thought I read they were made by Ray's but I'm not sure if that's true

OptionZero · 02-23-2022, 08:56 PM

Super old wheels, i have no idea who made them

Those sizes look like **** though

They are old. I had a set on my Mitsubishi Eclipse back in the 90's. I still have them in storage

JSPEED · 02-23-2022, 09:30 PM

damn what happnened to the 370z market? checked a couple places all special orders with wait times like 10 months

OptionZero · 02-24-2022, 12:22 AM

The car is more than 10 years old. New money has gone to other cars that run vastly different sizes. With the new Z, maybe places will stock our stuff in a couple years

Warehouse space is money, retailers have limits

Moreover, most stock is held by Mackin. Only big retailers have the juice to keep wheels around

Look at how many threads here by people too cheap or scared to even lower thei cars properly

If you owned a shop would you bother stocking sets of $4k wheels for us?

Also, shipping for anything from anywhere sucks now
