Isn't that only in a 18" though?
If they would offer different colors I'd be in, could they work something out if we get enough people? I'm confident we would have a lot if interest.

Yeah most likely by next january they will release another special edition wheel, but who knows what specs and colors they will offer, they are not focused on s2ks anymore, the BRZ/FRS are the hot new car to offer the new stuff for.

thats correct, also the RT is only offered in concave face, unlike the black edition which has flat faces in s2k friendly specs and they dont offer any other sizes but the 17x9 +45, the rest are all 18s. Unfortunately this is only possible for the RTs, and seems that we have 3 people interested and leaving a deposit this week, so we only need 1 or 2 more people to complete the batch for Rays to make the batch.

I agree seems like it would be as easy as making the mold, then just drilling a 114 PCD, but its just not that popular or not worth it for them i guess. This is why this is a great opportunity.

Unfortunatelly this is the only option right now, Ill look into it, but like I said Im not a dealer so I have no pull on any of it, just would love to make this happen, and I know there is enough interest to get 5 sets.

They probably won't make it in that PCD because there wouldn't cars where that size is "acceptable". In the overall scheme of things, people that run more aggressive fitments are the minority. It might be more "standard" fitment on the 5x100 rides (86's, Subarus, etc).

The 5x100 te37rt have the wrong center bore. I'm guessing they will also fix that for the custom run?

Wheels will come standard Volk Racing 73mm CB. Once your order is placed hubcentric rings will be supplied for you for your application.

I will also vouch for Stan doing this GB for all those who want a concave face without running a +22 or +35. This limited run might not come around again.

For those who are curious, the RT has the Volk Racing logo laser etched into the spoke, so no replacement decal will be needed if you choose to refinish them from red to another color. The RT will only be available on red with no other colors currently planned.

I got in contact with Mark Chin of Ravspec who is a Volk dealer and he told me he can get a set of correct lug pattern Te37rts in s2k specs, the catch is he needs 5 sets in order for Rays to make this custom spec. So who is interested in this once in a life time opportunity?

I know the color is not for everyone but as it stands the Te37RT 17x9.5 +40 in Burning red with diamond cut lip and engraved spokes is the only option.

I am not a dealer, just a guy who always wanted a concave te37 on a stock bodied S. with a 255/40 tire you can run these with a full roll and tab relocation in the rear and a roll and pull in the front with about -2.5 to -3.0 camber, if you run 245/40 its even easier to fit, and all is based on how low you are. This is practically the same fitment as the 17x10 +45 ce28N.

Spread the word, anyone seriously interested PM me, I should get all the info in the coming days but the price is gonna be awesome, the wait might be rough, but I know it will be worth it, and we only need 4 more people!

***Update on the details- we need 3 deposits to start the order process(seems like we have a possible 3 already!), the deposit price is $800 per set. The wait is about 12-18 weeks(rough, but that's the price of custom spec)

Go to the website to place order and leave deposit- just let me know so I can gauge how many people we have...
http://www.ravspec.com/shop/work-wheels-deposit
Use this code-
Reference code: te37rt-s2k-179540

$800.00 deposit. PM me for final pricing with shipping.

here's a speedhunters write up on the wheel, its the original, but even stronger!
My link

heres some wheel porn, to get an idea of what the wheel will look like, minus the thread pattern.

Once again Volk Te37RT(Rigid Tune) Specs-17x9.5 +40



Here i am saying i am tired of red wheels, and i see these. very lovely
