Default Volk Wheels - where to get?

Looking for a new set of wheels, but it has been a while since I bought a set of Volks. Where is the best place to get them right now? Might need to order since I have a specific one that I want, but I'm out of touch for who/where is the best/cheapest.

Unfortunately, Enkei doesn't make exactly the size I want and SSR is stopping production of the Type C. Too bad, because they had the perfect size/offset, but it will not exist anymore.

Where'd you get the information that SSR is stopping production of the Type-C's? I have heard of no such rumor.

As for the Volks, there's a local shop I trust for those specifically (Big Bear Tire in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin). Marty has a great relationship with Mackin Ind. for getting them here in the Midwest.

From Tanabe, err...more-japan.com. 17" supply is low on the Type-C and he said they were going to stop production of them. I guess they have a new design coming out.

Makes absolutely no sense to me. The SSR Type-C is as timeless as the Volk TE-37.

If you have sources that can find out more, I'd like to know more myself.

I'll see what I can dig up regarding the Type-C's, as I'm as much of a fan of them as you are.

I don't see why they couldn't. They're a distributor, just like most of the other Rays distributors, that should be able to order through Mackin and have the wheels dropped at your residence.

i know most places that sell volks have pricing set at pretty much the same thing with variances of a couple dollars here and there. is this place the same?

i'm looking to pick up a set of volks too and found their site going through the mackin industries distributor list.

I know that Marty doesn't have really high prices from past experience. I've been going there for almost a decade now for alignments and tires... never once getting hit with a huge mark up. Its definitely worth a call, and then some online comparison to confirm whether or not he's trying to make a ton off of you.
