Anybody interested in a group buy for rare and light wheels for the solstice?

As mentioned on this forum, Rays may do a custom build of wheels for the solstice with a minimum order of 20 wheels (5 people). This would give us a very rare wheel for the solstice.

The advantage is that these are very light wheels, strong, very nice, but not your cheap stuff. A guess is anywhere from $2000-$2400 until I get some interest and can find out more.

I have found through much research that 18" wheels are considered better for high performance applications than 19". Lighter and generally better tire selection.

Something like the Volk TE37's that were originally offered, but are no longer available. These rims can be made again in a small run minimum order. Silver, black, bronze, and white are available for colour. 18x8.5" front and 18x9" for rear. The 18X9 may work on the front too, but I have to do some more research.




Another option is the g-Games 99B. Staggered 18X8.5 and 9.5 should be doable.





Another option is the gram lights 57Pro. 18X9 for front and rear should be doable.




There is also a 57FPro.

All of these rims are available in a flatter black, white, silver, or bronze colour.

I think the gram lights are the best way to go with a 18X9 wheel on all four corners. Light, and more traction, and not creating more understeer like a staggered set up.

If you are interested in this throw me a PM! I need to gauge interest.

thx
