For Immediate Release

February 19, 2009 - Duarte, CA

Due to poor exchange rates, effective March 1st 2009, RAYS Wheels (VOLK Racing, Gram Lights, 57Motorsports, etc) will be increasing in MSRP pricing. This price structure will also effect other lines such as ARC, Project Mu, Yokohama/ADVAN wheels.

If any of you have current pending orders with your authorized dealer that were placed before March 1st, please confirm that you are not effected by this price increase. We encourage all of you to take advantage of the current pricing structure before the increase to get the most aggressive market pricing for these lines.

We're in the midst of deflation. I think this is a bad business move for rays.

where's the proof? recently on other forums i've been seeing a lot of dealers saying that they're gonna raise prices because of this and that...but it's all a marketing scam to make people buy more because of the recession...

if anything, volk, advan, arc, etc etc should be decreasing their prices so it will attract people to buy more...definitely not increase in price

yea, i can see where the point is coming from because the yen is so strong right now...but majority of their clients are in NA...and if we're in a recession right now, their business should be dropping as well...that's why i can't see the prices going up...

+million Jacking prices rumors are the first sign of a company about to close shop.
