Thats a pretty pricey wheel choice for a daily driver aaron..... Lol but u know the TE's are the way to go. Those SL's are sweet too. I was thinkin about gettin a set for the track. My gts's got COVERED in brake dust when I was out in omaha.

I want to put some nice summer tires on these and keep the cheaper enkeis I have now for winter.... may get them refinished... who knows

I honestly was leaning towards the SSR's, but the wait on them kept me hesitant on pulling the trigger. The volks are more $, but not outrageously expensive. the SL version is ~100 bucks a wheel cheaper than standard TE37.... then again, with the standard TE37, I could go mag blue:

Decided on major shift today, hood is hetting some obscure lamborghini pearl black i fell in love with.....I also realized I was way to f'd up, concussed and Rx'd, after the accident when I bought an extra hood, but figure having 2 hoods will be the equivallent of a gf w/ 2 cup sizes...except I can hang the extra set on the garage wall

Aaron, I love the TE37's. Do it!

Thanks, Alex. I'll probably be going to LT tonight.

lol @ GF with 2 cup sizes or w/e. I think a hood on the wall is a great piece of art.

I hope Ben's okay over there in Japan. Just saw the news footage. Damn.

Hmm, these comments about TE37 got me re-thinking now. Currently in the market for some Volk. Had it narrowed down to GT-S and SF Challenge. Discontinued but still some in the system.

I have the gts'.... They arent discontinued. They just quit making the +17/+18 offsets on the 9.5/10.5 wheels.... It was a hard choice for me too. Those were the two that I like as well.... I also like the advan rs-d and the rg-d. They are about the same price as the volks.
