Making of Rays Engineering Wheels

[SupraBlur]

I know this video was posted a long time ago but Rays Engineering is not a subsidiary of Mackin. Mackin is just the company that imports them into North America (along with other brands and other types of products).

[iLOVENATURE2011]

ah...so this is how rims are done! thank you!

[lovelplants]

woot.. oh that's how you make wheels? nice..

[ImFastYoureFurious]

5:40 VeilSide Baccarat, not Rays Engineering...

[AliGhanizad]

I have a set of G-Games made in 04. They are awesome.

[MrRaziman86]

TE37 mine too

[vinman66]

i have a set too



[inagod]

I had a set of centerline forged aluminum race wheels,strong and lightweight.

[Filipinoborn]

That 1 person that dislikes this uses Rotas....

[SLOCivicPowerpig]

I've got 2 sets of TE37 - top s**t!

[1939PlymouthRatRod]

As soon as the computers can program themsleves there will bil very little use for man.

[luedusk]

Do they quality check everyone, or do they take out one out of a bunch and test that?

[whookidspade]

I miss my Le-37's =/

@shimjohn RAYS Engineering is NOT a subsidiary of Mackin Industries. Mackin Industries is a DISTRIBUTOR of RAYS Engineering products only. Please amend your information.

[DRUMMERNIGGA]

so whats better bbs or volks?

[dc5typeR]

@DRUMMERNIGGA

It comes down to what type of wheel you buy from either manufacturer and what manufacturing process that wheel underwent. There are various processes for forging and whilst both companies use forging as the best construction, only slight variations of the processes differentiate one from another. Essentially they are the same. The real question is to be asked, which one will be affordable?

[blabblah69]

You see world, this is quality!

[ChEmOThEoRy]

Volk ce28

[92SAITO92]

I would hate to see the electrical bill for this place hahaha

[Gcoups]

Why are they so expensive? Like what is so special for such a price and wheel to buy?

[scottpkura]

Materials, Production Process, and to produce a product in japan on this scale (Large Facility) makes it so costly. But still Volk racing is no more costly than German Made BBS wheels.

[ponmlk]

@scottpkura

Just FYI:

BBS Germany (the one that went bankrupt) makes all of the cast wheels. (OEMs, and aftermarket)

All of the forged wheels (magnesium and aluminum alloys) for (F1, GT, LMP, Indy etc.) are made in Japan by Washi Beam Co. aka BBS Japan.

[hash5er]

Why Ferrari is so expensive?

[Shazee083]

@Gcoups do you have the same machine as you do.

[Gcoups]

@Shazee083 i dont have any machine. What machines are talkin bout?

[Shazee083]

@Gcoups Do you have the same machine as Rays Engineering.

[Gcoups]

How much does a set of these wheels cost? Anyone know?

[krayzeejojo]

@Gcoups: That's a very general question you're asking. The prices vary between size, manufacturer, and weight. What are you looking to get? Size?

[Gcoups]

@krayzeejojo: Like 19" wheels, the TE 37

How much would they run around for?

[krayzeejojo]

@Gcoups: About $800 each wheel usually

[2jzgtejza80]

@Gcoups

Depends about size, but i have 19'' on car and one Rays coast between 1500$-2200$ for 20'' or greater, of corse forged aluminum-magnesium, and coated with special material to protect the rim. usually 16'' about 700$, and 19'' to 1200$-1300$.

[infamousGSR]

It's nice to know how my maximum's were made :D

[royriggity]

mmm mmm mmm I smell cookies.

I can't wait for my 14inch 8 spoke ce28ns...

how can you go wrong with a super strong

wheel that weighs a mere 6.5 lbs.

[FLCLnaota]

nice vid. but i just can imagine how they are still so expensive with so little human interaction....

[r32adt3db]

advertising. lawyers to write contractual agreements and warranties. warehouse costs. raw materials. humans to run the machines. humans to fix the machines. humans to run the company. packaging. shipping. distribution. supply and demand.

[tubegangsta]

so f*cking expensive

[streettunedcomau]

pay for what you get..

[tubegangsta]

also when I get another car the rims will probably not fit so I don't pay over 1k for rims. I change cars every 5 years or so.

[infamousGSR]

You need to get ouf of the "car scene" asap then. If you wont even drop 1k into rims, then what are you doing? i paid 380$ a rim for my gram light maximum's. Not once have i regretted it. Newb. -_-

[tubegangsta]

I usually buy Enkei for my 08 civic si. I prefer spending more on performance mods than on cosmetic stuff...rims really don't affect handling.

[Aveoon32]

they can..easily.. however ur right, brand probly wont make a difference

[tubegangsta]

Well going to the gym and losing a few pounds would contribute more to weight reduction than changing stock rims to aftermarket rims, LOL. Rims hardly make a difference. I just think that the main point of putting aftermarket rims on our cars is just to make our cars look good. If weight can be reduced, that's an added bonus.

[RossDawg8]

You need to do some homework buddy.

Google "Unsprung Weight"

[seph95]

3:13 Volk TE37's! =D My Favorite Wheel EVERR!

[LAN4075]

[limYouLi]

[marat2003]

[apexdna]
