Wheels (again)

Just when I thought I was pretty well done with the topic of wheels, up comes Chris at Science of Speed with this post:

Ray's Engineering Volk Racing TE37 forged monoblock wheels are the standard for light and strong wheels for both racing and street use. Several years ago, Ray's discontinued the 18x10.5+45 wheel, which was a popular wheel for the NSX because it offered the best width and offset for popular larger tires - but also because it offered a deep concave face not seen on many wheels for the NSX. Despite it being popular for the NSX, it was discontinued because it was one of the only cars using this size and Ray's could not justify producing the size any longer.


ScienceofSpeed has collaborated with Rays Engineering to produce a 17x8.5 +40 and 18x10.5 +45 Volk Racing TE37 wheel ideal for street or competition use. Produced with exclusive forge tooling to produce this size and offset, ScienceofSpeed is able to bring back the popular concaved rear wheel on the NSX previously discontinued by Rays.

The ScienceofSpeed Volk Racing TE37 is being offered in two finishes never before offered on these wheels. Genesis Gunmetal (a bright satin gunmetal finish) and Satin Black / Red Ring.


In our experience, this is one of the best sized wheels for customers wanting to use larger tires on the NSX. The rear supports up to a 305, but most customers will find 235 and 285 or 295 is the ideal split.

A very limit number of sets (five only) are being produced for ScienceofSpeed. The estimated delivery date is the end of March. To place an order, we are taking small deposits. If you are interested, please call or e-mail for more information.

The price for the set is $2895.00 - there is no difference in price between the two colors.

*** Pre-orders: a $100.00 discount is being offered for pre-orders placed before until Jan 1 2010. ***

I hav always loved the TE37's. It's a classic wheel for Japanese cars. It's almost the national wheel of Japan :) I had a set of bronze TE's on my Nsx and sadly had to let them go when it became obvious that they weren't going to clear my new brakes. Now I have a chance to get them back and in a very sick offset that will bow inwards in the rear. I already have a standing offer on my CE28's, so I can stand to break even, or come very close to it (not counting tires). My Bridgestone So-3's on my Tecnomags will go on the TE's for now and in the fall I ca order a new set of tires when MidnightRuns do their annual group buy. What to do...
