Default Cheapest place to buy Volks in Canada?

I was looking into 19" Volk Progressiv ME's, and a local retailer gave me a quote of 960 per rim for the rears and 950 per rim for the fronts, BEFORE tax...is there any place better to look for in Canada?

lol they are extremely hard to find. i've searched a loooong time and gave up. they do look amazing on our cars, but the price and rarity components werent for me. try looking at another set of rims you might like that are more accessible.

there are a couple(maybe 2 or 3) members on here that have a set, but i dont think they would be willing to part them out. but that doesnt mean you cant ask.

good luck

Well I assume they would take a few months to get in if I did order them, just like my old GT-P's did, but is that the usual price they are going for?

that sucks. i get quoted no more than $2,699 everytime i ask for volk 19" prices. includes gt-7, gt-c, te37, yada yada yada. but progressive ME are more on the EXPENSIVE side.


oh btw, im getting these quotes from my350z.com. haha cuz they have the same bolt patterns hubs as we do =]

So I got a quote of 783.91 19x8.5 each and 801.38 19x9.5 each, which is quite a bit better than the other place...still going to try another local shop and see what they say

HOWEVER, the place that gave me this quote also said the Progressiv ME's might be discontinued, or minor model change?? I hope not that would suck They have to call and ask them

there's a local shop here where i quoted TE37 18x8.5 all around in titanium gunmetal for $2484 or so. But it did take a month or two for the shipment to arrive.

Yeah the only thing about buying from the states is the shipping to canada and the duty i'd have to pay...i'd have to find out if its worth it or not
