Default TE-37s, GT-7s, or GT-Cs?

I just can't make a final decision. I like the TE-37s but everyone seems to be getting them. I also like both the GTs. Just thought I'd ask everyone's opinion.

No matter what, I want gunmetal 19 inch wheels, 8.5 in front and 9.5 in back.

Here's a TE-37 pic...


A GT-C pic...


And I couldn't find a GT-7 pic quickly, so if anyone's got one, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks a bunch!

Seeing as how Michael's got the GT-C's on his DB with a Nismo Wing and I'll have the GT-7's in graphite (debating wheel color) on my LeMans with the Nismo wing.....I vote TE37's for you and you DB with Nismo wing.

gonna have lottsa winged, volked 350z in DFW.



I'm not even going into the fact that I live in Lewisville...

No offense, Vic, but I can't handle the gold/bronze wheels. Reminds me too much of the blue WRX combo.

gunmetal GT-7's, they look unreal, and would complete the look of you car.... Oh, and good luck finding tires, I have been looking for 275/35/19's and 245/35/19's for weeks with no luck.

Hubby's got a friend with a Discount Tire Direct account. I should be able to find what I want through him. Thanks!

Here's a pic of the GT-7's. It's a sweet wheel! I'm sure it won't be long before we see them on a Z.

Moodie,

Your ride is TIGHT!!

Looks great, man!

Anyway, I'm not a fan of GM on the DB......I'd go with what Moodie got....TE-37's in flat silver.

MATIX,

Not really sure cause I go by the 1 finger all around rule!!

I think it's 1.75" front and 1.50" rear!!

That's one of the reasons why I went with height adjustable coilovers instead of springs and shocks. This way I can lower it to exactly where I want it! Thanks!!

The flat silver is just too bright for me. My first choice would be Mercury Silver, but so far I've heard I can't get that color in 19s.

Go with gunmetal TE's, I originally had GT-C's but sold em to get my TE's, the GT-C's were just a little too heavy.


Quick Reply: TE-37s, GT-7s, or GT-Cs?
