Does anyone know where to get Volk Racing wheel nuts? I don't really care how much they cost (within reason), I DESPERATELY need some!!

I've been to many different wheel shops and nobody has a clue where to get them from or has even seen anything like them (not many imports around my area)!!

Please help!

umm what is a rays wheel nut? what is it that makes them special?

Like their wheels, they are super-light. They also come in three fruity flavours.

Stamford Tyres is apparently the official distributor for Volk (they are someone in Sydney) and they should have or be able to get them.

If anyone calls to get a price, can you post it because I want to get some shortly.

no c'mon, seriously! surely they are just wheel nuts?

I have a set that are left from my old volks but they are just wheel nuts...kinda small actually. I kept em because they have open ends which is required at some motorsport events so that the scruitineers can tell by looking that they are done up tightly.

weds sport, buddy club and nismo also have lugnuts in different colours

To quote some marketing blurb:

Rays Engineering, the maker of Volk Racing Wheels, has released a new line of performance lug nuts. Made from Duraluminum, these lug nut are extremely strong and light (the Rays lug nuts are 0.8 oz. each compared to 2.1 oz. for the stock pieces). In addition to the performance aspects, the Rays lug nuts also feature one 7-sided nut per wheel. These heptagonal nuts look stock from a distance, but can only be removed with the specially designed socket that comes with the set. Available in anodized red, blue, or black. It's a great way to protect your wheels! Sets are sold in packs of 20 pcs only.

They should be about $150 a set (they go for ~Y9000 on Yahoo JP).

lol! I've seen it all, can someone please outline me the performance benefit form saving 8oz (what? ~200g?) per wheel of unsprung weight on a street registered car? I've got volks and I'm gonna weigh my steel nuts to make sure I'm not missing out on this obvious way to slash my times!

rice and nuts...isn't that a biryani? :confused:

These sound like the ones I need. I'll try and take a photo of them tomorrow and I'll post it up here.

Where did you end up finding them?

Slidewize Imports said they can get genuine Volk wheel nuts but they cost $200 per set!!! That is a bit too much to pay for a set of wheel nuts...

ill post a pic tonight or tommorow of mine and if they are the same, you can get the at many wheel places in sydney.

That would be great mate... I'm not certain if I'll have access to a digital camera tomorrow so if you could that would be much appreciated...

Mine look different from the pictures posted above.

I am sorry to hi jack the thread a bit Driver but I haven't heard Rays wheels mentioned for a while.

In particular I am looking for a Rays mag wheel cover (Looks like a cursive 'R' on a black background that covers the nuts.

Do you guys have any ideas? Is Stamford Tyres (being the official distributor) worth trying?

Cheers again and apologies Driver.

Sure, its partly rice, but its not like sticking a huge wing on your car. You get some (small) unsprung weight savings, a hexagonal pattern which offers a little extra security (though vice grips will no doubt still work), and they tend to match the Volk wheels in colour/design.

No Kidd posted a picture of the duraluminium nuts.

I think that's the one!!! I've got my Volks off my car atm so if I can get hold of a digital camera tonight I'll post a picture up of the wheel nut so you can see exactly what they look like.

Do you know where to get these ones from?

[silver gts-t]

any large mag wheel retailer should have them.

Ok, thanks. I guess I'll have to try somewhere in Melbourne because I can't find any in Geelong...
