I put Vellano VSH's on my cousin's 2007 BMW M6. 22x9.5 4.5 inch dish and 22x10.5 with a 5.5 inch dish. Vellano wheels are definitely top notch in quality, all the way down to the rivets and center caps. T6061 forged aluminum construction on all 3 pieces. Be warned though, theyre VERY expensive!

Let me put it this way, if you think VOLK wheels are expensive than Vellano's will be way out of your price range. The VSH's I put on my cousins M6 retails for almost 2K per wheel. Standard color is silver or chrome I think and if you want a special color, it costs even more. Im not quite sure what the weight is.

Volk r expensive, and i didn't want a Volk rim because i didnt want to look like every other Z on here( No offense, im jus looking for something Unique) and i know that w/ what i want, im probably looking around 6-7K w/ rims and tires......but....the end result will b worth it...i think!

I agree with you but I think Vellano's are over kill for the Z. I dont think Vellano's fit the look and performance of the Z. Since theyre 3 piece construction, it is also going to be heavy. If you have the money for it, thats great, more power to you bro. Regardless if I can afford Vellano's are not, I wouldnt put it on a Z. If almost 4K in difference is worth it to be "different" than props to you. I still think VOLK's look way better for the Z than Vellano's though. Just my .02.

Yea I love vellanos too. I had the guys at status help me out and now I have 20x9.5 3.5 lip in front and 20x10.5 5 lip rears vse with brushed center with ceramic clear coat.








I will have more pics soon of them off the car and the caftmanship of the wheel. I have had them on my car now for about 4 months and no problems at all (unlike some of the other 3 piece wheels from other companys that I have had on my cars)

Theres no doubt that Vellano wheels are high in quality. If I had a higher end euro or VIP car, Id highly consider Vellano's. On a custom widebody, its not always about width, offset plays a huge factor as well. But to directly answer your question, no, RAYS does not offer custom widths. I have been working closely with the guys from RAYS and Mackin Industries, we do have a project we are working on. Youll see when the time comes.

Some pics of Top Secret widebody's running VOLK wheels....
