That's right we have a GB for Velox rims.

Here's the deal. We can get 17's and 18's in Gunmetal and Silver. We do however need to have 5 confirmed orders for the prices below, however this shouldn't be a problem.


17's $500 + 85shipping. Rims only

18's $600 + 90shipping. Rims only

+42 offset, 4x100 and 4x108 dual bolt pattern, Gold, Black & White not available.

But I imagine you could powdercoat the

Rubber options:

for 205/40/17 Hankook tires the package will be $1000 shipped
for 215/45/17 Visa tires add $15 per tire

for 225/40/18 Hankook tires the package will be $1250 shipped
for Kumho add $25 per tire

all prices I have quoted you are for 48states and payment by money order. If
people want to pay by credit card add 3%.
I will accept paypal as long as it is NOT with credit card.



Please amp.tron@verizon.net me for further details on ordering. Please post any questions/comments here.



Lastly as a point of reference I have included CustomCougars.com's prices for these rims below. I mean NO DISRESPECT in any way shape or form to James. I highly respect everything he has done and will do for us in the future. As you will see below by his prices we are getting a GREAT deal here, as we all know that James goes as low as he can on everything without losing his shirt.

Available in any of the following choices:

Gunmetal Finish - 18 x 7.5" - $185 Each, $740 Set
Gunmetal Finish - 17 x 7.5" - $159 Each, $636 Set

Silver Finish - 18 x 7.5" - $185 Each, $740 Set
Silver Finish - 17 x 7.5" - $159 Each, $636 Set
Shipping Not Included. Gold, Black & White Not Available

Not a big fan of these wheels myself,

but for those of you who are, this is an awesome deal, I went to my local Discount Tire, and these wheels were 270 each!

my .02 cents...

Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/05/02 01:03 AM
17's are 18.5 lbs
18's are 20 lbs

This GB will end on the 18th. We have 1 confirmed order already.

Hey, how about a little help. I cannot find pics of these rims, I can only find the VX-8s. Are they the same?

Also which of the 2 17" tire sizes best replicates my stock setup size for speedo accuracy? (anyone)

Thanks
Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/05/02 06:28 PM
They are the same rims...also there is a link in my original post for pics. Any 17 would read the same speed on the speedo. the 17x7 or 17x7.5 the only difference is how wide they are.

Is the requirement of 5 sets a total between the 2 sizes or do we need 5 orders of each size? I'm interested, but money is hard to find, so don't count me in just yet.
Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/06/02 08:50 PM
The 5 is total. e it I have some 4x100 people or us 4x108 bolt pattern guys. 17's or 18's...it doesn't matter. Hope this helps.
Posted By: NorMich99SE_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/08/02 03:05 AM
Out of curiousity, how many confirmed orders do you have so far? I have to do some number crunching as soon as I find out what I owe on some stuff, but it's looking like I might just be able to do this, I'll let you know for sure when I know for sure, should be early this week.
Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/08/02 03:23 AM
Well I have one guy in Canada that said he might be in. Then I have yourself and another fellow on fastcougar.com that wants to know if we'll make the qouta. So technically lets say 3. That still leaves us needing 2more. However we have until the 18th. I say give it until the 15th and we'll see were we stand. If we can at least come up with 3 I am pretty confident I can work out a deal with my vendor so that price would only be raised the $50 total a person.
Posted By: NorMich99SE_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/08/02 06:42 PM
Well, I hope we get the 5, cause the extra $50 would break me. I have enough in my account right now to do this, cover personal expenses and about $45 left over till next payday which is the 20th. So I guess if get 5 than I should be bale to do this, if not, I can't, unless it can be postponed (or my payment can anyway) until after the 20th.
Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/08/02 07:18 PM
Well once I have 4 other "confirmed" order besides you I'll let you know. Also I'll see if I can get an extention to the 20th if need be.
Posted By: SVTCONTOUR98 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/08/02 09:22 PM
ok i am interested but i would need until the 29th so i dont think i will be able to be included. sorry but if so then i would do it.
Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/10/02 12:08 AM
Ok ghouls and goblins....I need to start getting a confirmed count for orders. If my calculations are correct we'll have at least 5. Given the prior "i'm in's are true"
Posted By: NorMich99SE_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/10/02 01:58 AM
OK, well here's the deal, I had a check I thought had cleared (but hadn't) go through so I now don't have the money until next payday for sure,that's the 20th. Provided that whoever you're getting the deal through is ok with a time extension beyond the 18th, i'm in. If there is a definite cut off date of the 18, unfortunately, I won't be able to do it.....
Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/10/02 02:13 AM
Ok...what exactly did you want? Rims/tires/rims&tires?
Size, silver or gunmetal...gimme all the details and I'll see what I can do.
Posted By: NorMich99SE_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/10/02 02:33 AM
I'd be looking for rims only, 17" gunmetal finish (total cost approx. 585 shipped). don't know if you need anything else or not, if so either post here or pm me I'm on quite a bit
Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/11/02 10:58 PM
Bump

again I need to know who is in and who is out.

Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/13/02 11:48 PM
Well w/NorMich we have 3 total so far including NECO. I'm hoping some damn civic guys jump on. The extension to the 20th is no biggie either.
Posted By: Pienstars Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/14/02 07:03 AM
I just wanted let you guys know that 1 set of these in 18" can be had right now on ebay for 585.00 plus 90.00 shipping. sorry, I'm not trying to screw up your group buy, just trying to save my fellow ceg'rs some money.

Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/14/02 05:02 PM
Well that is the same seller for this GB and he has since ended that sale due to marking the wrong price.

On a side note for the payment by the 20th I talked to my supplier and he said if you make a $100 non-refundable down payment on the 18th you can then pay the rest by the 25th. Let me know if this is ok.
Posted By: buchsvt_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/15/02 04:06 PM
What about center caps?
Posted By: iceotron_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/15/02 05:52 PM
umm, have you seen these rims? These rims don't come with center caps or need them
Posted By: buchsvt_dup1 Re: RIMS GB: Velox VR-8's - 09/15/02 10:10 PM
Oh well on the ebay auction that was posted earlier in the thread, it mentioned a free center cap. Sorry for the confusion.
