Default volk vs racing hart?

I've narrowed my choice down to the multi piece gun metal Racing Hart CR's, and the limited edition black volk te37. I've noticed that alot of people on this board run volks, and really don't favor the RH. What makes the Volk's so much better? If I went with the TE37 in an 18, what kind of lip can I expect to have?

Volks are forged, RH's are cast.

Which means the volks will be stronger and lighter.

THe the offsets our cars run, you won't get much of a lip - 1" max.

Reputation....quality.....weight.....strength are all reasons I went with Volk. Plus they make the correct offsets.

You have to realize that just because they are forged doesnt mean they are a better wheel. We had the RnD from Enkei come out and explain the whole Matte Forging process on their line of wheels and went over everything. But bottom is not all forged wheels are the best thing out there.

For your question. Volks are a dime a dozen. They make "ideal" offsets for the S2000. Thats all good and most people like that. I and many others on the other hand want something different something that will look just as good if not better, have the reputation, etc.

I have always like the Work line of wheels and the Weds Sports line. Both have their ups and downs.

Anyway I would only go with one type of Volk wheels and that would be the mag. blue TE37s in 17 inch with a BBK application other than that I would go with an entirely different wheel.

Good luck.

True. Maybe a few sets there. But I can almost bet there is at least one set in every state.
