Default Te37 concave Japan only??

How come I've never seen any Te37 in USA look like this ?

In USA te37 look more like lips style.

any explanation?

+1. Those have 5 spokes. IIRC, those are Bee*R wheels.

the concave looks depends on the wheel/offset

Also, if you're looking at the exact same wheel with the same specs other than diameter, an 18" will look more concaved than the 19"

Seriously, relax. That picture isn't the greatest at all for you to be asking a question about the wheels, especially when they are partially cut off. Perhaps you should find a better picture so that someone is better able to assist you.

It is very possible that you do, but the picture that you posted are not TE37s.

correct, it's the same car you posted, and you can even count the spokes:

The biggest difference is with the LMGT4s and the TE37s as you go more aggressive with the offsets (increase in concavity) the size of the lip of the wheel also increases. This isn't the case with the Bee*R B5s ...

Kwame is correct. The general rule of thumb on RAYS forged monoblock wheels are that the more aggressive you get with the fitment, the more concavity you will see in the face.

TE37 19x9.5 +22 / 19x10.5 +22



TE37 19x9.5 +12 / 19x10.5 +12

and the larger the diameter the less severe the concavity appears.

if you looked at a 19x9.5 +12 and a 18x9.5 +12 the 18 inch would appear more sunken.
