✚WHEELSTO | New Product Release - VOLK RACING VR G12 (Forged)



Bimmerpost,

We here at WheelSTO are proud to announce the newest release of their new forged wheel in the VR series, the Volk Racing VR G12. Volk Racing has designed an intricate, and beautiful 12 spoke / 1 piece forged wheel with key points of the wheel re-enforced with additional weight savings on the spoke.

Here is some more information on this wheel:



Sizing:
19"/20" Sizing only
Sizing ranging from 19/20 x 8.5 ~ 10 wide.

19" Sizing for E9X and E9X M3
19 x 8.5 +36
19 x 9.0 +20
19 x 9.5 +36
19 x 10.0 +25

20" Sizing for E9X and E9X M3
20 x 8.5 +36
20 x 9.0 +20
20 x 9.5 +36
20 x 10.0 +25

Construction:
Forged 1 piece construction - JWL+R Spec 2 rating

Weights:
19 x 9~ approximately 21 lbs
20 x 9 ~ approximately 23 lbs

Colors/Finish available:
Extreme Silver / Formula Silver + Double Machining




Note the detail on the "Ray's center cap. Very modern and clean!


You can see the detail of the "weight loss". As you know Ray's strict JWL standards, they removed as much weight as possible without affecting the structural rigidity of the wheel.

Great looking wheel.

Anyone know how the VR series is different from the TE series?

Volks are great, but I must say some of the wheels are not very flattering on e9Xs. BTW volk needs to make a 20" re30 if they don't already make one.

Well if you look at the VR G2, six-spoke wheel, its simply a second generation TE37. Slightly different design, but both forged monoblocks I believe.

It ain't that bad This should be easier than a mesh like the LM. My fingers are too fat for the LM spokes.

The great part about this wheel is the fact that they released it in a "non-traditional" sizing for Rays (very Advan like) in 9.0" front and 10.0" rear. loving it!

that's exactly right.

the Extreme Silver is basically identical to the famous Formula silver but with a white base coat instead of the Black base coat on the Formula silver.

I think that the Extreme Silver would look crazy on the new Monte Carlo Blue M3

the extreme silver is a variation of the Formula Silver. the extreme sivler has a white base with the silver on top and the formula silver has the Black base with the silver on top.

i'd love to see some of that Extreme Silver on a Melbourne or Interlagos. It think that would really be striking (in a good way)!
