Looks great Ares! Though picture #2 makes them look kinda small.

well their "only" 18" rims. most around here went with 19s, might be used to em.

I like my sidewall to be a reasonable size, better for performance, durability, weight distrobution, ect. I dont have enough money for racing rims and street rims, so these have to do both jobs.

Part of it is no wheel dressing. I'm surprised nobody has asked for you to black magic tire gel 'em yet, heh. I'd love to see some pics once you slap some tire gel on there. When they don't have any on it naturally makes the sidewalls stand out. I think it looks great. I think when I do mine, it's going to be gunmetal 37s. I never used to be a big fan of dark wheels on dark cars, but, it looks pretty mean, like a racecar.

I wanted to do it today, but I gotta clean the tires and it was raining today, Ill get on it tomarrow tho. the whole car needs a bath if you cant tell.

as for gunmetal, that was my plan all along. gunmetal or flat black. but oddly I like the contrast that the gold brings, but not GOLD, but I like to call it gunmetal gold. cause thats basicly what it is.

yeah, forgot to say that it looks great. I just prefer the gunmetal look a little more, but both look good.

I would go with 18's also, light weight and cheaper tires are both important factors for me. I would hate to lose performance with new wheels, and it seems that can happen with 19's.

I have to find where you buy centercaps from, but yeah I do plan to get them. might not be so bad if all the center parts werent rusted...

I was thinking the same thing! To be honest with you, these look alot more like a set of LE-37's! Pretty odd...

maybe Im just not noticing it, or something. they look the same to me... are you guys talking about the center, the spokes, or the rim lip? Im guessing if your talking about LE37, then your probably concerned with the lip. but they look the same to me...

anyway, got the tire pressure monitors in there today. no more blue.

now I just gotta find the center caps.

is there a difference between the ones for the nismo TE37s from japan parts and the standard ones?

oh also, tho Im sure you guys must be noticing something, it must just be the color, or the picture, cause the volk sticker on the inside defintly says TE37, in bronze, 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with I think its 35 and 30 offset.

I bet they are talking about the spokes, which are concave on +22 offset and flat on +30, +35 offsets.

I like the wheels. Good choice, they look mean.

Did they come with the blue air stem, or did you have to buy that extra?
