If it's cheap and lighter than OEM wheels, then I like them. Make them as strong as the Z06 wheels and I'll like them even more.

Howdy!

Volk make some outstanding wheels (I'm an ex-Supra owner, so I've been through most of the import aftermarket). The TE-37's are ultra-light, there's some interesting styles.

Don't know if they make Volk in the proper fitments though - I've never even seen a domestic bolt pattern shown in any fitment guides.

It's funny you mention this - had a friend of mine suggest them, since nobody would likely have them (assuming the fitment was available).

Seeya!

I have shopped the Volks - they do not come in the proper offsets for the Vette.

I would love to get some TE37 on mine, but I don't think I have seen the proper PCD and/or offset. They are quite expensive too.

My higher end import buddies love Volks, but I've never seen them make anything for a domestic.
