Dutch77, how timely you are to have posted another desirable RAYS wheel for our consumption. Ever since StephenR posted his query re the RAYS Volk Racing G25, I haven't stopped thinking about this magnificent lump of lightweight forged alloy.
After making enquiries through two of Avdo's recommended suppliers, Tyrepower Hawthorn and Perfectrun JP in Sydney, I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger and ordering a set of Mercury Silver 19x8 ET48's from the owners Micky and Sam at Tyrepower Hawthorn, who have been fantastic to deal with. While these wheels come standard with a matching centre caps and chrome metal valve, centric hub rings and conical seat bolts do not, but they are readily available in a complete kit, which also includes a long socket adapter, similar to a spark plug socket.
While Perfectrun were also good to deal with, replying to my emails in a matter of hours, the charges are complicated because the transaction is primarily in Yen, and the customer will be responsible for paying the shipper, DHL Express the following: customs duty, GST and admin fees charged by Australian Customs and DHL.
For those who have any doubt about the benefit of forged wheels, they are up to 300 times stronger than ordinary cast wheels, and are up to 8lbs lighter in an 18x8 inch size of the wheels I'm interested in.
