Item: RAYS Engineering Volk Racing GT-C, Spark Silver, Face 2; Set of 4; 18" x 10" +12 Offset - massive dish...

Age: Brand new - manufactured July 2008, delivered October 2008

Condition: Brand new, one rim used for test fitting to hub only (no tyres).

Price: $3,500

To Fit: (What car) P.C.D. 5x114.3 - Skyline, et al.

Location: Sydney (Pickup preferred).

Contact: Matt 0404495329

Comments: Ordered these stunning wheels back in July, they are brand new, took three months to manufacture and deliver to Oz. Planned to fit them to my R33 GT-R, but they do not quite clear the front Brembos. :D

I bought these when 1 AUD bought 94 Yen. At the current rate (~71 Yen), these rims would now cost over $4500, so they are an absolute bargain.

Please note it is up to you to make sure that these rims will fit your car (by whatever means). Serious buyers only please!

Really sad to see these go...

Ouch thats a painful and expensive method of finding out not all 18's will fit a R33 GTR. I figured they'd fit for sure because im using 17'" BBS ribs at the moment.

I was considering some 18x10 volks for my 33 GTR too, glad I dont have to learn the same lesson you just did. So do all the 18" volks not fit an R33?

it depends on the disk type. you can have either big dish or big caliper clearance but you can't have both (assuming wheel widths and offsets stay the same)

these wheels are GORGEOUS, if my stag didn't have 33gtr brembos i'd be sending cash your way - hassle someone with a stagea to buy these.. they'd look amazing with some mild guard mods! :P

Thanks for the tips fellas, yes it would have been great to know this before the three month wait and mega cash outlay... :) I didn't try fitting them to the rear, I assume they'd fit there though.

Hopefully someone with a Stagea or other suitable car is interested.

I don't want to have to resort to spacers and/or lipping front guards / using undersize tyres etc

Buy 10mm bolt on spacers?

Yeah thanks mate.. I'm looking into that... Not sure about making the investment into tyres then finding out they scrub on the wheelarches or rubbing on the fenders though - being 10 in wide, they're right at the front guards already :)

Might end up buying some 5mm or 10mm spacers and trying it out.. So pissed off!

i wouldnt trust slip on spacers with rims worth that much unless u have decent wheel nuts..

if its for a street car or you dont require that much grip, stretch some 235/45s on it... heres mine, 18x10 +17s on a gtst n it didnt rub thanks to the stretched tyres (had 265s on it, couldnt even roll a mm)

on a gtr you shouldnt have a prob with rubbing guard with stretch

265s (undrivable)

235s (perfect)

Emz.. let me some cash so i can buy these rims...

Would u swap + cash on top for 18x9 BLITz techno speed rims?

Dush, what offset are they? Is that pic one of the actual wheels or just an example? You have 235s on there at the moment?

Cheers,

Matt

^^ Correct. I just got a set in 18 x 10 +17 and they fit over my 6-pot alcons just nicely.. I sacrificed slightly less dish for big caliper clearance :(

Sexy wheels... that's a fair price too, with the current exchange rate these would cost around $4500 now.

Will these clear a r34 gtr with brembo's?

These are still for sale. Price is $3,300 o.n.o.

I have 4x 5mm slip-on spacers to go with each wheel, so that they will clear GT-R calipers. If using the slip-on spacers, the wheels WILL still sit cleanly on the spigot (not merely on the studs alone).

Did you end up finding a new set of rims? Would you be interested in a set of Volk TE37 17x9 +22 with cash adjustment??

I bought a set of RE30s in 18" x 9.5". Thanks anyway mate.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
