Making of Rays Engineering (subsidiary of Mackin Industries) wheels. One of the top Japanese racing wheel manufacturers, Rays Engineering brands include: Volk Racing, Gram Lights and G-Games. Their unique wheel forging process gives you an insight of why their wheels are so valuable and desired. They are used in the top disciplines of motorsport, including touring car racing, sports cars (ALMS, SuperGT) and Formula 1.
so whats better bbs or volks?
@Shazee083 i dont have any machine. What machines are talkin bout?
You see world, this is quality!
@Gcoups Do you have the same machine as Rays Engineering.
@Gcoups do you have the same machine as you do.
Volk ce28
I would hate to see the electrical bill for this place hahaha
Why Ferrari is so expensive?
Materials, Production Process, and to produce a product in japan on this scale (Large Facility) makes it so costly. But still Volk racing is no more costly than German Made BBS wheels.
@Gcoups
Depends about size, but i have 19” on car and one Rays coast between 1500$-2200$ for 20” or greater, of corse forged aluminum-magnesium, and coated with special material to protect the rim. usually 16” about 700$, and 19” to 1200$-1300$.
Why are they so expensive? Like what is so special for such a price and wheel to buy?
@Gcoups: About $800 each wheel usually
@krayzeejojo: Like 19″ wheels, the TE 37
How much would they run around for?
@Gcoups: That’s a very general question you’re asking. The prices vary between size, manufacturer, and weight. What are you looking to get? Size?
How much does a set of these wheels cost? Anyone know?
You need to do some homework buddy.
Google “Unsprung Weight”
advertising. lawyers to write contractual agreements and warranties. warehouse costs. raw materials. humans to run the machines. humans to fix the machines. humans to run the company. packaging. shipping. distribution. supply and demand.
Well going to the gym and losing a few pounds would contribute more to weight reduction than changing stock rims to aftermarket rims, LOL. Rims hardly make a difference. I just think that the main point of putting aftermarket rims on our cars is just to make our cars look good. If weight can be reduced, that’s an added bonus.
they can..easily.. however ur right, brand probly wont make a difference
I usually buy Enkei for my 08 civic si. I prefer spending more on performance mods than on cosmetic stuff…rims really don’t affect handling.
You need to get ouf of the “car scene” asap then. If you wont even drop 1k into rims, then what are you doing? i paid 380$ a rim for my gram light maximum’s. Not once have i regretted it. Newb. -_-
It’s nice to know how my maximum’s were made
mmm mmm mmm I smell cookies.
I can’t wait for my 14inch 8 spoke ce28ns…
how can you go wrong with a super strong
wheel that weighs a mere 6.5 lbs.
nice vid. but i just can imagine how they are still so expensive with so little human interaction….
After BBS and ENKEI of course …
