RAYS Volk Racing TE37SL BimmerWorld Limited Edition Forged Wheels

Lighter than the already light TE37, weight optimized, and strong enough for our M3 racecars to pound on for hours.  Limited Edition in gloss black with either red or blue decals and valve stems.

The BimmerWorld View - We first raced on Volk TE37 wheels in 2010 with our ST race program.  Having been on another leading forged wheel for several years (and destroying countless forged wheels before that), we were overly impressed.  They were light (HUGE competitive advantage to remove unsprung rotating mass) and incredibly strong.  After a full year of endurance racing, we didn't bend a single wheel while hammering apex curbing - only when we hit other cars...  In 2011 with the start of the E92 M3 GS program, we decided to use this special version of the TE37 (sold as the TE37SL) which pulls out over a pound from the normal TE37 and due to weight optimization, produces an even stronger wheel in the process.  And after a year of racing our brutish 3600-pound M3s on them, we are believers.  Light, strong, and durable - rarely seen in the wheel world.

Volk Racing is the premier wheel line from RAYS Engineering, incorporating all of RAYS' top-level technologies learned in Super GT, Touring Car racing, LeMans and Formula One into its trend-setting designs. Volk Racing wheel styles feature optimum caliper clearance, increased lip size and a wide combination of face contours to perfectly match the desired application. The quality, strength, and brake clearance of this wheel makes it our wheel of choice for our GRAND-AM racing program.

The 1-piece forged Volk Racing TE37 is one of the most popular performance street and track wheels from Rays Engineering. The material used to construct the wheel is hot forged 6061 aircraft grade aluminum. The forging process used to construct the wheel is known as RAYS Original Forging Technology (RM8000), and is done with multiple pressures of 5,000 kilograms per square centimeter followed by the 2nd slow forging process of 3,500 kilograms per square centimeter including the high pressure forging of the wheel's lip. This is a versatile process that creates a balance of light weight, strength, durability and rigidity. RAYS independently developed and patented the RM8000 forging process and designed the machines used to perfect the flow of metal ensuring structural integrity is maintained in the final wheel design. After this process, the RM8000 forging technology is used to uniformly press the wheel from the top, bottom, and sides in a high-speed spinning process that extrudes the wheel into its final form with only minimal machining required (further promoting structural integrity).

Design, development, testing and manufacturing of Volk Racing wheels is done in-house at RAYS Engineering resulting in a product that not only conforms to RAYS' strict internal JWL + R standards but also meets RAYS' goals toward the advancement of the "motorsports culture" and the satisfaction of high-end customers who demand wheels that are strong and light.

Valve stem included. These wheels are a competition design and intended to be as light as possible - as such they are not made to accept a center cap.
