Thinking about group buy on Volk TE37SL wheels for C63

Need to know if there is interest on 10 sets. I am keeping one for myself.

can do any of the color ways.
would be 2 colors max, so diamond black and mag blue 5 set each kind of thing.


Pricing would be about $3200 shipped for each set in 19x8.5 and 19x10. Would need $500 deposits and eta 3 months.

These are cool because they are 1.5lbs lighter than standard TE37. Oh yeah they also have never been made for us before. Super limited.

Wheels get made in japan, then come over on a boat. Pretty typically from the Volk.

air freight is easier . worth the extra cash . i have had multiple sets of Volks and never waited that long . if i didn't have my DPEs , i might just jump on a set .

Another vendor tried last year to do a group order on volks, but it didn't go anywhere. Firstly because they realized they had to do 20 sets to get custom made offsets, secondly because the TE-37 design doesn't really work with high offset cars like ours, i.e., the TE-37 is designed to be concave, which the c63 won't really allow...at least until you do fender mods and order 10" widths.

Yeah the downfall is they wouldn't have the aggressive concave that the +22 etc have.

But I think they would still be super cool

right now we are looking at 19x8.5 +35 and either 19x9.5 +51 or 19x10 +55.

i just noticed that they are limiting you to 2 colors max

that's the biggest load of i have ever heard from a company you are buying multiple sets from . if it was me , i would tell them to keep the wheels and find another vendor willing to work with you and the customer . not everyone wants the same colors . some people are just way too proud of their product .

It'd be nice to get a set of those wheels in 18" or 17" to be able to use for drag racing.... most decent drag radials come only in 17" and smaller.

what offset are those wheels in the first picture? High offset TE37 does not look too great IMO, however if these came in 18s and still clear 380mm BBK I might be interested

If I could somehow get a set made for my 55k in 18's for the right price, I'll put down a deposit asap!

Mag blue would be my first choice too!

I dunno...I just can't put Volks on an AMG. I just totally associate volks as high-end JDM...nice wheels though!
