Do these wheels only come with blue print on them(i.e. Unicron's TE37's)? I want to have the print to be red so they would match my brake calipers when those are painted red.

Another question...Where can I find any information on price, sizes, weight, ailability, etc. on Volk Racing's GT-P wheels? These are very nice wheels but I can't find a single word on them.

thanks in advance

my wheels are the same as unicron's, except 17's and they came stock with the blue lettering. If i take the lettering off, then everyone thinks i have some fakies that cost $100 each.... i don't particularly like the blue letters though.

Just remember... NO CENTER CAPS are available with the TE37's for the S2000.

Mingster - Thanks for the website but there's no info on the GT-P's, closest are the GT-N's. I thought that group buy you set up was only for the TE37's, is it not?

Scot - Yea, there are way too many cheap imitations of the TE37's, but I wonder if Volk does have them with red print.

RPM9K - OOOHHH AAAHHH!!! Where did you get those? What size tires are you running on? I was planning on getting 18's and am still wondering if the 18's would weigh less than stock. If not, I'd get the TE37's like Unicron.

18" tires are going to weigh more than 16" by quite a bit due to the larger circumfrerence bead so there's no use splitting hairs over the wheel weights as compared to stock. Split hairs over the entire tire/wheel combo instead.

37 series seemed to be the most popular, but whatever Mackin carries we can get.
