Default Question about Volk TE37 alloys!

Im after a set of 18" Volk TE37's like shown in the pictures below for my MY04 WRX and I was just wondering where the best place to buy them from, also how much would I be looking to spend for a set of these. Also any links to any websites would be appriciated.

Thanks John

Alot matey!, i asked this question a few weeks back(my favourite wheels)

Apart from importing i was told this website http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk/

For 18's they work at about £418 without VAT each i think!! but the wheels look stunning, 'SammyH' has them on a Type 25 i believe

Saw them on E-bay for £1350 inc shipping from a guy in Asia, but to be honest its a lot of money to be sending, and I would be gutted if I got ripped off or got the wrong size. I just thought I would try something differant as you dont see many Volk TE37's on Scoobys in England.

Yeah mate, going through prospec would be alot safer, but cost alot more, i wouldnt lay down £1000+ to ebay unless i was certain!, as for the wheels, exactly what i thought you never see them on british scoobies, and Volk are proper Jap Wheels to go with a proper Jap Monster!!

Arighty John. I was looking for a set of the Volk Racing LE37T alloys myself - the only places I could find in the UK was Prospec ms and Nemesis Performance with Prospec being the cheapest (but still pretty expensive).
I've emailed a couple of places in the States about prices - from what I can see they pay in dollars what we pay in pounds for these wheels! The only thing I am unsure of is import duties etc.....
Can let you know how I get on if any of the places get back to me.
Cheers

I wonder if it would be worth doing a group buy on these wheels, as there seems to be a bit of interest in them, and they seem to be a rare as rocking horse ****.

I got a quote back from worldone performance - $2400 for a set of 18" wheels with $160 shipping fee to Scotland. The only thing thats holding me back is import duties? Any idea what taxes we would have to pay to take these wheels into the UK?

Import tax is 6 or 8%, then you need to add the VAT. If you ask nicely they may post the real invoice to you, and put a devalued invoice in with the wheels. I had a set of pistons come with an invoice for $50

I have 17" bronze TE37s on my Type R, including the tyre I have saved 14lbs per corner compared to the new shape sti 17" wheel/tyre combo
