The new hotness from Volk! Tokyo Auto Salon content!

For someone who cares about performance and is willing to pay for it let's compare: Volk TE37 19 inch Concept 1- weight 15-16 pounds (9 pound weight reduction per corner)

For someone who cares about performance and is willing to pay for it let's compare:
Volk TE37 19 inch Concept 1- weight 15-16 pounds (9 pound weight reduction per corner)
Varstoen 2.2.2 (TE37 knockoff) 28-29 pounds 5-6 pounds heavier then stock and durability is far inferior to the Volk forged monoblock

The difference in the unsprung weight is insane, I have had 3 sets of TE/LE 37s and for some reason the simplicity of the wheel yet the concave spokes with a good sized lip looks beautiful to me....

Absolutely right! if you like the TE37 look AND care about performance, Volks is the way to go! (not the Tokyo Time Attacks...I suspect with 3 piece construction, those likely weigh quite a bit more than C1 or SL)

To me, it's a timeless design, BUT more importantly, as far as the SLs and now apparently the C1s go, they are some of the lightest and strongest wheels you can bolt up to your car.
