^^^^^But the are still Volk's...so what if you got them painted a custom color.

I'm kinda sad b/c of the black/red combo since i paid out the ears for mine, but the black/blue ones are cool.

We're getting them from Japan, they are pretty pricey and we're kind of not supposed to sell them separately. If you have purchased a set of Volk 57F wheels from us we will send them to you free of charge. Sorry, had to twist some arms just to get these stickers.

Thanks,

Gary

Man, those arent even Volks, theyre GramLights. Yea they look cool but Id rather give my money and props to the true innovator rather then someone who grey markets products and copies other manufactuers ideas. Just my two cents.

i don't think a vendor like Gruppe-S would sell fakes to the Z community. that's like commiting suicide...

Where does it say Volk anywhere in Gruppe-S's posts? They are clearly labeled as Rays, which make gramlights as well.

LOL I"m not worried about it, there's just a lot of other vendors that are upset because they can't compete with our low prices or they want to continue sticking it to 350Z owners in terms of markup. As a dealer I can't believe what some 350Z owners are paying for their wheels.

Being a 350Z and G35 owner myself I believe in giving fellow owners the best deal. There's something wrong when any Japanese guy can walk in any joe-blow wheel shop in Japan and pay $500-1000 less on a set of Rays wheels than a US customer can.

As for the stickers - they're coming from Japan and as far I know they're genuine. They're back door and we had to twist arms and call in favors to get them, but they're legit. It's just what happens when you import several million dollars worth of JDM parts ever year...

As for the 57Fs? They're made by Rays for Nismo. Nismo didn't want them, we bought $100K worth of them. And yes, they are genuine Rays wheels. No one's stupid enough to spend the $$$ on a cold-forge tooling then commit trademark infringement by calling some replica's Rays wheels. These are the Genuine RAYS Wheels made by RAYS Japan - it just cost us $100K to make it happen for these prices (and they only fit the G35 / Maxima / Altima anyways)



Cheers,

Gary

Rays Eng. makes the volks and the gramlights. They are both from the same company. Not really copying but expanding there products.
