http://www.mackinindustries.com/dist_rays.html

With all those distributors, probably impossible to tell who the individual retailers are.

Every real racer predominatly uses OZ & BBS wether its Rally or Open Wheel racing.

Volk dominates JGTC and other Japanese series along with Yokohama Advan. Their wheels have been used in Le Mans with the Mazda LeMans winner sporting Volk Racing mags years back.

Not that big of a deal but they seem to come out with fresher styles whereas BBS and OZ haven't really done anything that new or different than past designs.

Some people prefer Japanese wheels to European wheels on Japanese cars.

My hmo is that Volk/Rays offers a better piece of forged racing technology for consumer cars than OZ or BBS be it aluminum or magnesium. OZ and BBS keep the good stuff for race cars imo.
