FYI... TE37's don't come in black/gunmetal with a polished lip... all TE37 rims are all one solid color with no lip. However, Volk does make a rim called the LE37T which is offered in gunmetal with a polished lip... HOWEVER the biggest size available in those rims is 17" so i wouldnt put anything that small on the 350...

if you like the design of the TE37's, go check out these rims... specifically designed for the 350 by Volk... if i had a 350 i would buy these in a heartbeat:

I'm an FD RX-7 guy myself, but i definitely am in love with the 350... if i could afford both i would have both

not true... you can get any wheels from Rays for whatever color you choose... just call up Mackin and let them know and for an additional price and time you get the exact color you want... they'll special order the wheels from japan... couple of guys from newcelica.org has done this... RON

Ditto, there are actually some bronze te-37's with polished lips out there.

Not so. I have a set of 18" LE37T sitting in my dining room right now.

OK, LE37T's obviously come in 18" sizes, here is the link the their website, now whether you can find a place that has them is another story.

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...odelName=LE37T

TE37's can be special ordered in any color, for $30 a wheel. I did not think you could get a polished lip, I thought that what the LE was for, but I am not going to say it is not possible.

Here is Ray's website, there is now an English version available.

I'm having them mounted after the snows pass. It's been a mess here in VA, and about all I've done is brush the snow off my Z. About time for my 2nd oil change, too. I did manage to install a Nissan earthing kit before the weather hit, but not the horns. I've got a GrillTech grill sitting here as well; haven't made up my mind about that.

Took a while to get the LE37Ts from R&D Motorsports, since they had to come from Japan through the docker strike and all, but they're nice folks and the wheels are gunmetal gorgeous, and way light. Should work well.
