no they're TE-37's, I know this b/c they're mine. Though they do look like LE-37's.

Not personally. I purchased them as they are from Mackin industries. They're custom TE-37's. I believe the only other person that has these is Alberto.

I believe alberto said before that he has the LE37's.

Read post #75.

If they came this way from Mackin, I honestly believe they're LE37's. There's no point for them to custom make a TE for you this way if they already have the LE's that are identical, if you bought these before the LE's went out of production late last month. I could be wrong though.

If you give me a day. I'll take close up pics of the wheels so you can see that they are TE-37's. Also I still have the box, which say they are TE-37's and the official certificate which comes in the box. You do have a valid point though and now you have me thinking.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting you. These are your wheels, and I trust you know what you have. Just trying to see why Mackin "custom" made these that's all.

Ok OK I got the proof. You know how volk wheels have those little stickers and engravings in the wheel which say the specifications. It clearly says TE-37. I tried to take pics but my brakes ending up cutting my fingers while trying to take pictures.

To be honest, I'm just happy that a person who put six figures in his Z has questions for me.

TE37 and LE37 are the same exact wheel when it comes down to it. All they did was polish the lip on the TE which then became the LE.

The wheels in the pics are def LE37 no matter what sticker is on the wheel.

Dude, unless you machined the lip yourself you have LE37's

box means nothing... and everyone buys them from mackin industries if you are in North America...I have LE37's and my box that it came in also said "TE-37 limited edition" .. hence the "LE"-37
