The TE37SL Black Edition II brings you a newly updated model with a unique color offer. The rim flange introduces a new technology called "REDOT," which includes the VOLK RACING logo's exclusive machining and painting feature. Also included are the luminous spoke and the rim sticker.
As performance cars continue to go faster, get bigger, and heavier, there is a dire need for wheels to withstand the increased loads. And what was once thought impossible amounts of speed? Cars such as the Nissan R35 GTR are hefty and produce massive amounts of grip, leading to massive amounts of load on the wheels. Many modern performance cars have massive OEM brakes on top of the increased loads, which won't clear most aftermarket wheels. The TE37SL Black Edition II wheels are specifically designed for modern high-performance cars.
Features:
Rays' forged wheels are made using design mold-form forging technology, which involves the use of a dedicated mold for each type of wheel and a differently shaped mold for each process.
Requiring the use of advanced technology, this method is both labor-intensive and time-consuming, but Rays believes this to be the only forging method that fully exploits the intrinsic potential of forging.
The ratio obtained by dividing the cross-section of the completed forged wheel by that of the original billet is known as the forging ratio. Essentially, it represents how much the shape of the original billet has changed, but what matters most in this process is the ability to apply pressure.
RAYS boasts a 10,000-ton forging machine enables a wheel with a high forging ratio to be molded in a single pressing. It also allows materials to be spread across wheels designed to have a large surface area quickly and uniformly, even if they have a diameter of over 20 inches. Consequently, this machine dramatically increases production efficiency for high-quality forged wheels.
Bearing in mind that the JWL standards adhered to in Japan are the minimum strength standards that all wheel manufacturers must meet, RAYS conducts its own practical strength tests that better reflect the actual driving conditions. The company requires all its wheels to meet its own in-house standards (JWL+R) and all its forged wheels to meet even stricter in-house standards (JWL+R SPEC2). Safety is the absolute minimum requirement that Volk Racing must meet no matter how hard they may strive to achieve high performance. Rays' fundamental mission is to ensure the safety of all drivers using their wheels.
Built in 18” sizes, these wheels are designed for cars such as the R35 GTR and Porsche 991, plus many others. The bead is knurled, which helps keep the tire on the bead of the wheel and reduce the chance of the tire slipping on the wheel. This is an important feature to have in any high-grip or high-power car, since the increased load can easily pull the tire off the bead. The TE37SL Black Edition II also features a very concave design which easily clears the large brake calipers you’ll find on many modern high-performance cars.
