Default Stupid Volk Question

What's the difference between Volk TE37 and LE37T? In all the pics I see, they look exactly the same to me.

The LE37T's have a polished lip. Same goes for CE28/LE28

As long as they're under 20lbs (which I believe they are, they're good for me) I want some nice rims with a polished lip, but don't want them to be much heavier than my Track Rays.

So what color would look best on CS?

This might sound stupid, but I've hear people in this forum don't like 20's, can anyone tell me why?

Easy, the larger the rim, the more they weigh (especially when compared to the same type of rim of a smaller diameter). There's an additional penalty of rotational inertia. Because of the larger diameter, more of the weight is farther away from the hub (axis of rotation). That requires more energy to get it spinning so you take a hit on acceleration and stopping.

well put, also alot of people think that 20's are just a little to much for the Z, I happen to be one of them, I prefer 18's or 19's. 20's just are a little too flashy for my taste.
