Volk Racing Challenge alloys - blue??

[tbourner]

I've never seen anyone that sells these alloys before!! But you do!!!!

The question is what's happened to the blue ones - cos they're the ones I want (they're the ones I've got but I want bigger ones (might NEED bigger ones of I go UK brakes!!)).


Here are mine, the ones I'm trying to find:

Do you stock them? Are they made any more? How much are they? 18" or 19" should do! :D

The original Volk Challenge (and Winning) wheels have been discontinued for more than 2 years. In the last year Volk has released the SF-Challenge (and SF-Winning) as replacements.

The main difference in the Original and the SF wheels is that the SF have a nice lip that is 42mm on the front and 67mm on the rear. This is assuming you are talking about 18x9" front & 18x10" rear in Supra fitment. They are also available in 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear.

The SF-Challenge are not available with the blue inner ring. However, the mirror-polished 42/67mm lips more than make up for the lack of a blue inner ring in my opinion. Also, the SF-Challenges are available in virtually any color you want. The spokes can be ordered in permanent anonized Silver, Mercury Silver, GunMetal, Black, Gold, Noble Gold (looks like champagne), Red, Blue, and even Yellow! Other colors are available too, that's just the most common choices.

Mercury Silver (about 20% darker than Silver)

I would recommend considering an upgrade to the SF-Challenge. In my personal opinion it is a better looking wheel with the polished lips and with all the color choices you can customer it however you want for your own tastes.

Which bit is coloured though? Not the spokes (too much IMO)? I love the ones I've got they get a lot of good attention too!!

Yes it is the 5 spokes that are colored. Please look at the pictures I posted above and you can see that it is the 5 spokes that are colored. If you don't want anything extreme then go with the SF-Challenge Silver, they are pretty much the same color as what you have now. The big difference is the SF-Challenge have the awesome polished lip your older Challenges do not.

Cheers,

Can't you get some with coloured interior rims then?

The lip is cool and I was deciding between the ones I've got and some big dish alloys a while ago, but I'm going blue all over the car so would like to keep that little touch on the alloys too!

Ideally seeing those pics I'd want like something like the mercury silver ones with the lip, but also having the blue interior bit like on mine!!

Not possible?
Cost too much as a special order?

Although I understand and agree with what you want, the problem is Volk Japan will not do it. They do not have the time to make a totally custom 1-off wheel, they are based on volume. That is why they make such very nice wheels for 1/2 the price of HRE or Fikse. HRE will make any wheel you want but they charge up to $2,000 PER WHEEL.

If you have a talented powder coater in your country he could add a blue inner ring for you, but that is the only way I see it possible, sorry.

Best regards,

Dusty
