Give Adam at Z-1 Performance a call. He has the exact specs on those wheels. He has been my best source for JDM parts. He is very honest and has been in the industry a long time.

Those are 19" gold LE37's provided to TopSecret by Volk, theyre not currently available to the public yet in 19", but since theyre just TE37's with a polished lip, you could buy TE's and have the lips polished by a wheel shop. If you get TE's 19x9.5 front, and 19x10.5 rear with a +22 offset all the way around, they'll look exactly the same as the rims on the topsecret Z.

i don't know what the diff between LE37s and TE37s are, but those wheels on the top secret car are TE37s. 19x9.5+22 (f) and 19x10.5+22 (r). they run 245/35/19's up front and 275/30/19's on the back. (all this info comes from hyper rev magazine, Z33 issue)
my friend at HKS told me today that you can't get the polished lips from Volk; he said these you see here are special made for top secret.

No way Bro.... the LE37s are different. the lip on the rear rim is way bigger. the TE37s don't have a fat lip like that. Everyone thinks the TE37s are the same, but thats only what the damn shops tell people to sell more TE37s.

isn't that lip so fat cuz it's a 10.5, not the usual 9.5 that everyone here seem to sport?
i dunno...just telling you guys what Hyper Rev magazine says...these guys get their info from the tuners, it should be accurate.
(what exactly is the diff between LE's and TE's?)

....for your health
TE's can have a lip, like John305z's car. Matix already explained the difference: LE = polished lip, TE = no polished lip.
Here the pic of John's TE-37's (since wooge forgot the pic
):

LE37s looks like the ones ill be getting if i do get them... does anyone know how much should i be expecting to pay for 4 rims no tires...
and what is the advantage of having the wide rims like 10.5rear in the and 9.5front ... wouldnt it be better to have 9.5 in the back and 8.5 in the front? because the wider the rim the more dead weight???
