2025-02-21T17:28:54+00:00

RAYS Introduces the 2025 MID RACING Wheel: A Bold 6-Spoke Design

RAYS is bringing a fresh take on classic sports wheel styling with the all-new 2025 MID RACING. Featuring a 6-spoke design, this wheel embodies the essence of performance while incorporating advanced engineering for strength and style.

The MID RACING’s three-dimensional rim enhances depth, while the triangular spoke structure reduces stress and improves durability. To add a dynamic touch, ribs are strategically placed at the spoke joints, ensuring structural integrity while creating a more aggressive aesthetic. Unlike traditional designs, the spokes rise from the rim in two distinct motions, delivering a deeper concave profile that enhances the wheel’s presence on any vehicle.

Available in multiple sizes, the MID RACING allows even compact cars to benefit from its striking concave effect. It comes in a sleek Crystal Black finish and includes a spoke sticker, air valve, and center cap.

Crafted as a Cast Flow Formed One-Piece Monoblock wheel, the MID RACING is set for delivery in Spring 2025, offering both performance and style for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their ride.

RAYS Unveils the MID RACING R07 Type S: Lighter, Stronger, and Built for Performance

RAYS expands its MID RACING lineup with the debut of the R07 Type S, the latest addition to the Type S series following the R50. Designed for both strength and agility, the R07 Type S introduces a refined Racing 7S Spoke Design that optimizes weight reduction while maintaining durability.

Crafted with performance in mind, the smooth-flowing spokes transition seamlessly to the rim, featuring large-radius curves at key junctions to minimize stress—just like true racing wheels. Undercutting the spokes further enhances weight savings without compromising strength. Additionally, the spokes stop short of the rim edge, creating a visual effect that makes the wheel appear larger.

At the center, a clean circular motif is accentuated by precision-engraved details around the nut holes, blending function with a fresh, modern aesthetic. The semi-gloss black finish combined with bold green stickers gives the R07 Type S an aggressive, motorsport-inspired look.

Delivering a perfect mix of lightweight performance and striking design, the R07 Type S is built for enthusiasts looking to push the limits—both on the street and the track.

RAYS Introduces the VMF L-01 PREMIUM: A New Level of Elegance

RAYS takes luxury wheel design to the next level with the debut of the VMF L-01 PREMIUM. This latest evolution of the VMF L-01 refines its sleek, sophisticated aesthetic with enhanced precision and a striking new finish.

Crafted with sharp, meticulously forged edges, the slim, elongated fin design gives the wheel a dynamic yet elegant presence. The matte translucent black colorway adds depth and refinement, perfectly balancing performance and style. Complementing this bold look, the diamond-cut spokes create a striking contrast against the black base, exuding a mature, premium appeal.

With its seamless blend of luxury and performance, the VMF L-01 PREMIUM is designed for those who appreciate both craftsmanship and presence on the road.

RAYS Unveils the MID RACING TR50: A Bold Take on the Classic 5-Spoke Design

RAYS introduces the MID RACING TR50, a fresh take on the iconic 5-spoke sports wheel with a unique blend of modern engineering and classic aesthetics. Designed with a flat-surfaced profile, the star-shaped spoke layout stays true to traditional motorsports styling while incorporating contemporary refinements for both strength and style.

To maintain a balanced structure, the spoke ends are slightly widened, preventing excessive narrowing while reinforcing durability. Ribs at the spoke joints enhance the three-dimensional look while increasing structural integrity. The thicker rim flange improves rigidity, but a widened tapered surface sharpens the wheel’s edges, delivering a dynamic presence. A subtle groove between the spokes and rim further enhances the depth and adds a lightweight touch without compromising strength.

For an added motorsport-inspired effect, an optional strobe sticker can be applied to the rim’s perimeter, emphasizing rotation at high speeds.

Finished in Tarmac Black, the TR50 comes complete with a spoke sticker, air valve, and center cap, combining performance and aesthetics in a sleek, race-ready package.

Work VS-KF's ARE BACK!

2025-01-13T22:16:33+00:00

Probably one of the most iconic wheels from the 90s and early 2000s, the Work VS-KF is making a comeback—and it’s already making waves in the current resale market. If you're a fan of JDM cars, you've likely seen the Work VS-KF wheels on numerous builds over the years. Since their discontinuation in 2017, these wheels have steadily increased in value, driven by both demand and scarcity.

Fast forward to the Tokyo Auto Salon, where Work confirmed that they will be re-releasing the VS-KF wheels in 2025. However, not all sizes and specs will be available at launch. Currently, the 21" variants are the only ones up for pre-order on the North American website.

While the new VS-KF wheels don't replicate the exact design of the original models, they remain very similar. The spokes now feature a sharper, more defined look, enhancing the overall appearance and giving the wheels a more aggressive stance. We can expect future sizes and dimensions, such as 20", 19”, and 18” variants, to become more accessible as time and demand continues.
