OK I've got a set of 17s now so I'm considering selling these depending on what is offered. They are lightweight forged wheels (about half the weight of a 17" P1 wheel) made by Rays Engineering for STi and were the original fitment on the S201 special edition - Click here.

They are basically Volk TE-37 (info here)but the STi version has a carbon centre cap with the STi logo and I believe the colour is specific to the STi wheels - TE-37 are bronze which is much darker. Prospec are the official importers for the TE-37, I don't think the STi Rays were ever officially sold in the UK. Click here for Prospec's webpage detailing the TE-37s, these are 7x16 so cost £296+VAT per wheel - if you wanted the actual STi wheels you'd probably have to import them from Japan.

They are in good nick, a few superficial marks around the rims on 2 which are barely noticable and could be touched up quite easily by getting hold of the proper touch-up pen (I've been told they're available but never bothered trying to find one cos the marks are barely noticable).

They are wearing Bridgestone S-03s which are all good, I think the back ones have loads of tread with the fronts a bit less but still a good few miles left in them - I can measure if anyone's interested.

If I get a good offer for these I may sell but I'm aware they're of more interest to those who place emphasis on performance rather than looks cos that's where the main advantage in these lightweight wheels lies. I personally don't drive the car quickly often enough to get the benefit hence why I switched to 17s for the looks. Buying the wheels alone from Prospec would set you back nearly £1400 before adding tyres, and that's for the standard Volk TE-37 not the STi Rays so no silly offers like £100 (or £101!) please

Pics below are of the actual wheels before I took them off my car (with the old Falken tyres, not the S-03s which are on them now).

No interest?

Any more interest?

Would you consider selling the rims without the tyres ? I already have a set of SO3s in the garage. Let me know how much you want with / without.

Cheers

Hi mate

Sorry for the delay, didn't notice you'd replied. Not sure about selling without the tyres, TBH they're not much good to me as I've replaced the wheels with 17s and don't have any other 16s. However if you want to make an offer with/without drop me a PM and I'll consider it.

Cheers
Paul.

Funnily enough I'm not to bothered about the wheels, but would be interested in the tyres Drop me a PM if you're still thinking about selling

Cheers mate... you still got the scooby or has it gone to pastures new?

PS I'll consider selling wheels/tyres separately if I get a buyer for both. Main reason I want rid is to free up garage space, won't free much up if I sell the wheels but keep the tyres

Get back up there

Eagle7

can you please email me (address in profile) with a rough price you are looking for as i need new alloys and would like forged ones, but dont have an enormous budget.

thanks

Paul_M

Sorry for the delay mate, haven't checked the thread for a while (need to work out how to enable notification!).

You have PM.

OK Guys time to put a price on here... I'm looking for £500 for the wheels & tyres, and if this price is met I will travel a fair distance to deliver them at no extra cost (400 mile round trip, possibly even more if you can convince me!).

Those in the know about these wheels will probably agree that this is a bargain at this price, you would barely get a single wheel and tyre brand new for £500.

Any interest PM me as usual
