I'd like to buy a set of 17" TE37 Volk wheels for our Mini Cooper S. We would like them in white. The TireRack only lists them in Titanium Gunmetal.

Anyone know a good place to buy them?

 

17x7.5??

 

maybe try www.mini-madness.com
they are a volk dealer and I think that they can order them.

 

I wish Volk make a 17 x 7.0. Then I could legally use them for G-stock autocross.

I'm just looking for some cool street and track day rims.

 

not sure about the size, but tirerack began carrying TE37's lately.

 

Did you read my original post? They have them, but not in white. I've emailed them to see if they'll do a special order or something.

I know volks barely makes 4*100 though you probably need to special order them.

 

Any other sources? I really dig these wheels. Do they come in a matte black? Only ones I've seen are silver, bronze, white, and some funky orange

 

I have a set, brand new in the box. 17x7.5, white, TE-37's.

We bought them and it took almost a year to get them. Now we're thinking of selling our Mini so we don't really need them anymore. I wish I could remember exactly what we paid for them. I think it was quite a bit. ($2500?)

 

Hmmm. Tempting, but I'd rather have them come black from the factory without having to go thru the hassle (and expense) of powdercoating later.

 

I'm not sure where exactly to look for Volk wheels(you could try looking for their home website) but I have the Rota Grid's which are said to be exact knockoffs of those wheels and I have them in white, plus they are cheaper. They're probably not as light, round 14.5lbs, as the Volks are though. The pictures are in my album if you are curious.

 

Nice! Any idea on the weights? Where did you get them?

 

Lol, you responded while i was editing my previous post. They weigh around 14.5 lbs since got a set of four and fedex weighed the total shipment at 58lbs. I got mine at http://jlbmotorsports.com/index.html , just go to their rims section and click on the Rota logo.

 

Sweet. Thanks. I'll def keep these in mind.

Oh, and are these forged or cast?

 

Umm.. lol I didn't really get into that when I bought them, I just liked the look and I knew they were lighter than my stockers. They're probably forged?

 

What I could glean from a quick Google, think they're cast. Bit wary of that....

 

Oh, well, I guess maybe they are cast. I don't know but I just found this where you can view most of rotas rims on you car http://www.rarerims.co.uk/ just click on the 'alloys' section so you can have a look, its pretty cool and wish I would've found this before I got the grids. I really wanted the Boosts but at the time I heard they were heavier than the Grids, oh well still satisfied

 

I have a set of Brand NEW 17x7.5's in Mercury Silver for sale if anyone is interested.

 

Here's another source:

Price, offset, pics?

 

Asking...$2000.00 obo

VOLK TE-37's
- BRAND NEW IN BOXES!

- 17x7.5

Includes:
- Flat Center Caps

**Never been mounted on tires. These wheels retail for 680 each and have to add 30 dollars extra per wheel for the color. That would be a total cost of 2840 per wheel and I am asking 2000. I also had to wait 3 months for these wheels to get here. Please add 3.5% for Paypal users, and I will ship at the buyers expense.**


Thanks!

 

would they fit a 06 S with the jcw brake kit??

 

Yes, but would be designed for the 12mm hardware, not the 14x1.25.
