for me, pre-order is a 25% deposit, and they weigh the same as all the other regular te37's. as for the gt-c's, the face 2 is indeed a concave center. the pics you were looking at were most likely just copied and were the same pic. hope that helps.

also, to give you a better idea of the difference between face 1 and 2...here are two pics for compare/contrast:
face 1:
face 2:
note how face 2 "caves in." hope that helps

I'm interested, but honestly can't fork all that cash till next year cause of all the end of year expenses.
Also how would these look with Le Mans? Opinions? I was leaning more toward gun-metal since it's a darker color... but these look fantastic.

By the way, I got mine for $2465 shipped. Offsets were +22 front and back for 19x8.5,9.5.

And I also want to make a clarification. We are one of Mackin's largest dealers, and you can verify that on their website (www.mackinindustries.com). I have received several price matches from customers who are getting quotes on wheels from grey market importers. My prices are still lower, but most importantly, our customers know we are legit, and we have responsibilities to take care of any unforeseen issues that may arise. I think Skidazzle can attest to the amount of effort that our shop puts into making sure our customers are satisfied with every purchase.

i will save the boring details, but will tell you that he will go out of his way to get things done.
can you believe he let me have a set of wheels he originally ordered for himself, cause mine wont come in for another month or two? i now will have my set this week. just in time for the body kit.

i originally wanted regular silver TE-37, but the whole set wont be in until end of january at the earliest. jeremy let me swap to the gt-c's you see in the above link. he can easily find another buyer for the TE's.
also, TE is an old design (BUT VERY CLASSIC!!!). i really dont need another set of "racing" rims, as my stock track rims will be fitted with R compound tires for racing. also, there are too many knock off TE's on hondas right now. i wanted something a little more rare, and a little newer design. also, combined with the merc silver color, it is a gorgeous rim. this in combination with the fact i hate to wait for things.. persuaded me to swap.
BUT... i do have a claim on the first merc silver TE-37s that jeremy gets. once i see real pics, i will make up my mind if i will buy those and sell the GT-Cs, or just keep the GT-Cs.. this wont be for another 4-5 months though

needs pics
Can someone post 2 pics comparing the mec silver vs the regular silver in the TE37's or if it is easier, tell me the website that has pics of boths?
Also, if you are getting TE37's mounted on your car, can you post the pics. that would be great!
thanks

The regular silver color is the same color as the Rays wheels which come on the Track model. This is what I was told this week by Mackin. They said that Rays only has one regular silver color, all the other shades have different names (spark silver and mercury silver, titanium silver, and chrome silver).

you wouldnt be able to give us aplace to go to find a color listing or maybe scan a sheet they gave to you with color options or anyting could you? i realize they do any custom color you want.. but i'd like to see some of the more common choices like titanium silver, the blues they offer and what thier black finish looks like (is it shiny like the blue?)
anything you can dig up for us on this stuff?

Not in my opinion....the Mercury silver doesn't have the reflective qualities of chrome (paint never will...high polish, maybe) and has a somewhat irrodescent bluish quality. IMO.

So are the TE's also made in a titanium silver, in addition to regular silver and the new mercury silver? If so, does anyone have pictures of titanium silver? The G35 Coupe wheels have a slight tint to them (I think called titanium) that I absolutely love. If so, are the titanium silver TE's gonna be cheaper in 18's than the new mercury color TE's. Thanks.
