anyone running TE37 18" 8.5 +22?
I love the way the 9.5 looks with concave spokes. Curious if the 8.5 has the same look (for the front). Of course, going 9.5 +22 all around might look hot too. I did find pics of those, pretty hot.
I'm surprised more people dont go for the 18s.

not true..
002-M-P's wheels are dead sexy... and light.. and tires on the cheap.
I just dont want to roll the fenders, so I'm thinking 8.5/9.5.

Here's mine:
18x8.5 front +22
18x9.5 rear
18x8.5 or 19x9.5 don't have concave look. I believe 18x9.5 does
I didn't go for 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 because of the performance. 19 is great for apperance but 18 out-peform 19 plus cheaper for tire replacement

But concave spokes are hard to resist. I'd be all over the Rotas/Nismos, but I think 6 spokes has a cleaner look. They still look hot, I just always wanted TE's

perhaps not as drastic as the standard Nismo setup, but close.

I agree, your choice was a very good one IMO. I may end up going that way. I also agree on the rwd thing.
any chance you've got a more angled shot?
Ever been behind a car with TE/LE/Nismos as they roll to a stop? I love seeing those spokes spinning slowly.

How much does your setup weigh? Thanks.
