Default TE-37s and Toyo Proxes T1-S'

ok

I know te37s are done a lot, but i havent seen 1 Z around here with aftermarket wheels at all. plus its all about what i like, and i like the te37s.

are they good wheels? they look to be top notch. im looking at 19x8.5 for the front and 19x9.5 for the rear.

also looking at the toyo proxes t1-s tires. are they as good as i have read? anyone have real world experience with them? how will they last under normal street conditions? (not hard driving every day)

got a price of $3570 for the wheels and tires mounted, balanced, shipped to my door. good deal?

tia-

Price is okay, you can do better. Probably ~$3100 is attainable.

I'd say ~3300 is more realistic for te's with center caps, lugnuts, and tires...te's are one of hte most expensive volks out there, I say go for 19x9.5" front, 19x 10.5" rear

volk=gods feet.

ok, maybe not that good, but I like em.

TE37s arent all that common, take a run through the tire gallery, youll see more Iforged than volks. and alot of people got GT7 or winnings or other styles. not to mention, like 15000 Zs on the roads now, how many have aftermarket wheels at all? I doubt youll ever see another one with the same rims as you, even if you get TE37s, and one things FOR SURE TE37s are EXTREMELY rare on a greater scale, they are well known for supras and the Z, but you will be hard pressed to find other cars with them.

Ummmm, Are you serious????

Look at the gallery 2/3 of the cars there have Volks

If you like them, buy them anyway, they are GREAT quality, and even though you see a lot on this board, in the real world you will hardly even (if ever) see a Z driving around with them on. DOn't worry about that part of it

actually I was a good bit off, or people with Iforged just havent taken pics. as I recalled there were 2 seperate iforged group buys... yet I only see pictures of 6 Iforged rims....

anyway, out of 80 cars 25 have volks, 15 are TE37, 9 are GT-C. not quite 2/3rds, but a majority.

*quick counting, most likely off.
