Default Work Vs-xx vs Volk TE37

Hey Guys,

Anyone of you have the weight for vsxx 19X10.5? I want to know how much TE37 is lighter than vsxx. I am looking for a swap. Thanks.

Yea TEs are like around 20lbs, but work rims shouldnt be very heavy either no? I know its a two or three piece, but still lighter than those taiwanese brand or no-brand names right?

TE's in 19's are 19-20 lbs I think. The Work VS-XX are probably similiar to the Volk SF-Winning which weigh 24-26 lbs. So give or take about 5 lbs difference.

Take care

yea so the question for the OP would be, are you looking for better performance more or the look more?

imho both look good, the TEs look more performance minded, the VS-XX more baller cause of the lip status LoL

The VS-XX is more of a luxury wheel, weighs a bit more, MUCH more lip, looks amazing when installed. The TE37 is more of a sport wheel, cold-forged, very light, super strong, and still looks good.

I think you have to decide whether you are looking for more of a luxury wheel or sports wheel. It's a difficult decision to make The TE37 and VSXX pricing is virtually identical in 19".

Cheers,

Gary

I had the same problem between the 2. I eventually went for the works due to the cheaper price that I found them for. Non the less some of the pictures of them installed looked great.

Yeah, looks department, Works hands down. TE37's are ultralight and strong though!
