Default did i get a good deal? VOLKS TE-37

so i went to this shop and my friend works there. I got a wholesale price on these TE37 in bronze, nothing special. 19x9.5 +12 19x10.5 +12. the price i got it at is $2400.

i was curious how much people average in paying for volks te37?

Sounds like a pretty good deal. Those are really low offset's. Are you rolling the lip?

he probably hates them cos its not meant for pure racing. it's mostly for o.k. handling and the life of the tires should be really good too.

whats the reason why he hates them?

a +12 10.5 TE37 will have a substantial lip.

maybe he meant that he cut them?

lip doesn't have to be polished

and I am getting Toyo T1Rs. they are cheap. and I eat tires for a living. supposedly pretty decent, I know a lot of guys run them.

the other tire in thier price range would be the Falken FK452 IIRC, and alot of people said they suck.

so my friend that works at this shop recommends me projcet kicks* (iono how you spell it) and its like 200$. i was thinking "wtf why would i pay so much?" and then he told me that the wheel locks are design differently?

can someone chime into this cos i couldnt really hear him when i was there, too much noise from whatever the mechanics were doing.

did ya buy them?

sizes and offset like those are rare!

i have 19x9.5+12 on the rear and tried to order a set of 19x10.5 +12

most likely 90 day wait and $750 a wheel.

275/35 you will def need to roll fender if ya lowered.

unless ya like the smell of burnt rubba.

He's not asking "because?", he's actually asking what "cos" means.

The deal is so good you should be ashamed. You stole the wheels for $2,400. How do you sleep at night.
