    These NE24 wheels have been released today. Available in 18" options only.

    FOR GT86/BRZ you'd be looking at 3 options:

    18x8 ET45 (Face1) - £3126.86 (Matte Gun Black) / £3250.29 (Shining Black Metal)

    18x8.5 ET42 (Face2) - £3168 (Matte Gun Black) / £3291.43 (Shining Black Metal)

    18x9.5 ET43 (Face3) - £3250.29 (Matte Gun Black) / £3373.71 (Shining Black Metal)

    Centre caps, spigot rings and wheel nuts are optional extra. Only air valves are included.

    Description from Japan below:

    Entering a new generation of sports wheels.

    Designed with a racing-based name for the first time in seven years, the new NE24 is a wheel that transforms conventional ideas and evokes a feel of "entering a new phase."
    The name of this new series consists of "N" deriving from the VOLK RACING Gr.N —the roots of the developed wheel, or Group N, the racing class for stock cars with a minimum level of modifications—and "E," the common initial for the existing series such as TE, CE, and ZE, meaning "evolution."


    2021 will probably be a year of impact in a sense. A great number of new exciting cars are scheduled to be released by Japanese manufacturers. Also, there appears to be a flood of upcoming European C-segment sports models. These cars are elite vehicles that have been developed to compete on the global stage, and therefore wheels to be fitted to such vehicles need to match their novelty.
    We never tried to be eccentric but still sought for something new to configure the 2x4 spoke of the NE24. Indeed, in an attempt to create an unconventional geometry, we not only secured sufficient mass at the center area, but also reduced the number of spokes while keeping a necessary volume at the centre fastening area and rim joint area. Especially for the outer circumference, we adopted a high-performance design assuming that the wheel is used in combination with a tire with hard specifications.
    Making this design feasible essentially required steadily repeated trial and error by RAYS R&D Analytical Team. The skills to give shape to something new were necessary. In addition, using the latest forging technology also helped to achieve the delicate and slight spike. The undercut of the spoke was employed with a further increased level difference. This design is intended to ensure a stereoscopic look even when the narrow size is used.
    A new thing is created by embodying something difficult to realise. We will tackle the creation of new styling and performance of street wheels, leveraging our skills and experience that have been acquired through design and development of racing wheels. We will produce both racing wheels and street wheels from the same team members and from the same factory. This is the world of VOLK RACING.

    How real time is the stock/backorder system? I only ask as what I was looking at went out of stock in the last 2 minutes after I cleared cache?

    Stock is live. So if it sells, it jump to backorder straight away / when reloading the page. EBC stuff for example is generally subject to 2-3 days delivery if it's out of stock with us.

    Hi guys, thanks for the feedback. Majority of the issues are down to cache. If you could delete or refresh your cache like Will says above, it should fix the issue.

    Everything seems to be working fine on our end. We have tried different platforms and browsers, but we did need to delete cache.

    Any issues, please let me know.

    You can never have too much chassis stiffness. Weight aside, the more the better. Chassis bracing maintains alignment angles and spring rates by greatly reducing body or chassis flex. In fact, it helps every component in the suspension system do its job properly and you can feel the difference through improved turn-in, sharper steering response along with greater steering feedback. Because this strut bar comes with the brake cylinder stopper, it also greatly reduced the firewall flex under heavy braking, so provides more precise feel for the brakes.

    This is now on clearance.

    We have 3 of them in stock.

    Price is £203.82 £165.09

    That's so good. Been searching owner forums and classifieds but not found anything good so far.

    I love the massive thread with loads of pictures of TE37s on ft86, just been drooling over them all day! https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12493

     

    Brand new best deal I've found is around £2100-2200 shipping from Japan or US.  I've found one vendor listing 17x9.5 et45 in 5x100 - emailed them to see if its true.

    I've messaged @Lucas@PartBox just now but they don't seem to list TE37SLs on the website. 

    I guess it'd be one in a million to stumble across the exact spec second hand but a 65% saving would be pretty nice!

    I considered Weds which fulfill the lightness criteria and look pretty sick on race cars, but just can't match that classic 6-spoke look. Subjective thing I guess. Same for TWS T66-F or even Fox FX005. Also Konig and Team Dynamics offerings look good.

     

    Anyway, gonna plump for new ones in the next few weeks unless something else comes up. Hope it'll be the right decision! First thing to tick off the list. Then tyres, then coilovers, then BBK, and finally NA tune and exhaust. It's gonna be awesome! *checks funds* 😕👀

    Hi,

    TE37SL are available in 17x8.5 +45  = £2592

    TE37SAGA in Bronze or Diamond Dark Gunmetal - 17x8.5 ET45  = £2962.29

    *edit. Bronze ZE40 in 17x8.5 +45 are also in stock in Japan for the same price as SAGA's.

    For more details, drop me a message :)

    @davbelfast if you don't even have the car yet, I would recommend running the standard Primacy tyres for a few months. When you learn to control the car on those tyres, you won't have to get better tyre purely out of fear like most here do... Sure, there are good tyres like Michelin PS4, but they cost a lot, and take away from the tail happiness and the fun factor of the car imho. I just think that you need to learn to drive the car the best you can with "bad" tyres, so when you're ready to put new good tyres on, you're a better driver and you don't rely on tyres so much, but more on your throttle control and steering.

    @Lucas@PartBox, do you have these in stock at the moment please? Website says 'contact us for availability'.

    Are you still offering a discount code/free delivery please?

    If the website says that, they aren't in stock unfortunately. We had some issues with shipping due to Covid-19 and all our Japanese shipments were stopped as there's no planes flying. We have now put our orders on sea freight, but we won't see any of it until early June.

    And yes, coupon is still available.
