TE 37s on STI

wgknestrick · 07-17-2003, 11:58 PM

Someone requested this a couple of days ago and I have some pics to share. Please feel free to give opinions. I just wish that they were darker gray. I feel the car looks too much like a mustang from some angles, but it does look better in person.

oh crap! tight! what offset are those? i would LOVE a pair of gunmetal versions of those for the summer tires...if they are the correct offset, that is.

wgknestrick · 07-18-2003, 12:23 AM

They are 17*8" (44ET), but no gun metal. Closest thing is bronze. I really wish that they had anthracite though or even a grayish tone. It's tough to judge colors from a catalog. They fit very similar to a 17*7.5 Rota on a WRX (wheel protrudes ever so slightly from well..1/4")

Volk actually calls out in the catalog what wheels fit the suby brembos.

C-daleRidr · 07-18-2003, 12:30 AM

Holy massive pics, Batman.

wgknestrick · 07-18-2003, 12:36 AM

They may look really big on 15" (girls giggle) monitors. I'm sorry, but my girfriend took the pics and the camera is only 2 days old, So it's probally set on highest quality.

happasaiyan · 07-18-2003, 06:59 AM

aint no thang with dual 19"s (girls jaws drop). lol.

tqlla · 07-18-2003, 08:26 AM

They sell TE37's in gunmetal. Its just tough to find. But be prepared to cough up some $$$$.

$500 a piece for 17s and $590 for 18s

MVPmotorsports sells the LE37T in gunmetal with polished lips. ONly diff frmo the TE37 is the polished lip. they also have the TE37 in black

Dr. WOT · 07-18-2003, 09:20 AM

you can custom order volks in about 30 different colors but delivery can take months

another option is to get the wheel powdercoated yourself

tqlla · 07-18-2003, 11:00 AM

I wouldnt powder coat them. THen you would lose the Volk Sticker. Thats what lets people know you are not using el cheapo Replica.

Golfa · 07-18-2003, 04:31 PM

shoulda gotten gold

lol

mn1028 · 07-18-2003, 06:14 PM

Wow, thanks for the info. You either have a really high pressure hose or (hopefully not) cheap knockoffs with stickers.

sigma pi · 07-25-2003, 03:25 PM

hmmm mustang no it looks like one sick ass car good job

Silver-Bolt · 07-25-2003, 04:01 PM

How much do they weigh?

wgknestrick · 07-25-2003, 04:49 PM

15lbs (didn't weigh them though) each. I had a set of 17" subzeros and they feel so much lighter than those AND the BBSs.

Belvadere · 07-26-2003, 05:17 PM

I think they look awesome...still one of my favorite wheels ever! And my stickers are still on mine after 3 years of daily driving (white ones on a Type R).

gregs · 07-26-2003, 05:32 PM

My favorite wheels on my favorite car. Well done!!!

Graham · 07-27-2003, 12:11 AM

If you want the true anthracite color in the TE-37's you will have to wait about 4 months for them to be shipped from Japan. My brother just went through this with his RX-7. But, damn do they look good!

essogas · 07-27-2003, 04:49 PM

Hmmm. I'm not so sure I like those now that I see them on. Thanks for the pics. I have Blue too and was wondering about some Volk Gram lights but I'm not so sure now. The stock wheels have really grown on me.
