The story with my rims haven’t ended yet, now they are waiting for me to but the second layer of paint. But as far as I have no time for this and the weather beyond my window is shitty I decided to find out a brand to what my rims belong, because when I bought them from my comrade there was no sticker or another piece of information and even the seller didn’t know about them much.
And as far as I checked many cool rims and downloaded beautiful pics I suggested to share them with you. Well, actually there is almost no order and there is no 1st, 2nd or last place, issue of rims is a personal matter, a question of taste =) So, let start!
The first one - Desmond Regamaster/Spoon SW388
These rims look as cool and simple as mine, moreover they look most similar to mine from all those I have found. Moreover, these rims are the the Russian-made Desmond Regamaster and is known for its simple five-spoke design and lightweight forged construction. Well, I have not much to compare to, but my rims do not to feel quite lightweight (maybe because I had to carry them from the first to the fifth floor to my flat) =) A flat black version of this wheel was sold by Spoon Sports in Japan as the SW388 and it is a favorite among Honda enthusiasts worldwide. Plenty of GT-Rs have aggressive sets of white Regamasters and they always look great.
Our next stop is Volk Racing TE37
I think that there is no Japanese racing wheel more iconic and popular than the Ray's Engineering Volk TE37. I advised my friend Nikita with his Accord Coupe of 6th gen to buy these ones or their replicas, but he says that the size of the rims won’t suit Accord’s construction. TE37 have very long history and they always was, they are and they will be at the top of their type with their timeless six-spoke design. Moreover they have really ultra-lightweight construction. It looks right at home and car's dating from the '60s all the way to 2012 and it can be found on everything from vintage race cars and drift cars to time attack record breakers. What are the most popular rims at my local racing forum? They are Volk Racing TE37.
And as you can see, even DutchCars love to wear TE37 =)
Another winner from Volk Racing RE30
The RE30 is a more recent addition to the Volk Racing lineup, and since its release a couple years ago, it has become an extremely popular wheel both in Japan and elsewhere. On nearly all of its models, Volk has released special "Time Attack" editions with red wheel lips or other models with machined lips. So Now you know how to make these rims more expensive – just add a red line to it! =)
Nismo LMGT4
Another popular wheel made by Ray's Engineering is sold as the Nismo LMGT4 and can be seen on cars like Yoshinori Koguchi's 180SX and the the Nismo Skyline GT-R Z-Tune. Nismo LMGT4 wheels are so aggressive so I think they better suit drift-cars than time-attack runners. There are many replicas all over the place and many companies such as Mazdaspeed or RAS or Bee*R produced similar monsters.
