well one of the front's were damaged beyond repair and i recently was told Ray's will be discontinuing some of their older wheels and the GT-U is one of them; then, yesterday, i heard from a vendor that its already gone... i need one badly, whether its a closeout or custom order or what have you. i also saw somewhere that Mackin might have the ability to build replacements to order? here is a pic of the build tag;

its mkiv fitment, high offset center for TT brakes, spark silver, +37mm offset.

PM me. I have a set on my car that I may be willing to sell to you. They are gunmetal with a chrome lip.

Let me see a pic of your damaged wheel, so I can tell you if it can repair or not.. I know some shops can do it and some shop cant do it..

I can't tell by the tag what color it is, please advise. I'll see if Mackin or Japan still have one left.

Thanks,

Dusty

ask Lbrsupra, he still has it in his friends garage, last time i heard from him. he's no longer around the forums so i couldnt even get ahold of the ruind wheel if i wanted to. it was just fire damage so i know it could be refinished. the existing front wheel i do have (in the pic) was singed with smoke damage; i had it reconditioned for $120.

Dusty, here are pics of the existing wheels;

Rear wheels

Close-up of rear

the refinished front wheel; came out identical in color and quality to original rears.

rears on the front, tt rears w/ 315 dr's on the rear

i hope these are a good indication of the color. definitly let me know what you can find.

thanks
chris

Actually I turned it over to Robert as he handles all the MK3 sales. I thought he had answered by now, my apology. He must still be waiting on an answer from Steve @ Mackin. I'm sure he'll answer you Monday.

Thanks,

Dusty

Sorry for the delay sir, I am still waiting from a reply from Japan. I have just resent the inquiry to them again just now.

oh ok, thanks for the update. i know im a MK3 owner, but i need to make sure that you guys are looking for MKIV fitment. these wheels are from a mkiv tt car with big caliper clearance. i hope they come back w/ good news.

I finally received word from Volk Japan. They do not have any back stock so we will not be able to get this wheel for you, apologies sir.

well.. thanks for tryin robert. i guess mackin had nothing to offer either?

lenny, cant view the post. im not a member. if its a GTU set for a Z33, the offset is gonna be too low, probably in the +20's.

They are Black Volk GT-U's 18x8 +43 front and 18x9 +44 rear.

robert, did they happen to say if they have a single wheel in ANY color? there has to be something with an off the wall color that no one bought. ill buy a wheel in any color combination at this point, as long as it fits the front of an MKIV tt.... ill just get the wheel refinished in my color.

kirk, how much did that guy want for the set? alot?

Yes sir, I just asked for a GT-U in that fitment. Never mentioned a color as I figured you would be willing to just get them refinished anyways.

Robert
