OK, I see the wheel diameter should not affect this, but certain wheel designs are concave and some convex or flat. And maybe the wider wheels with a lower offset have wider lips, giving some wheels a more concave look. There seems to be a concav difference between the Volk TE37 abd Vars ES2.2.1 and Rota Grids. From many of the pictures I have seen, I'm still trying to determine which has the most concave look.

Rota Grid 18x10+15 is more concave than a 18x10.5+12 TE-37 IMO, if that's all you're concerned about:

Thanks much! These two pictures help a lot. After viewing them I like the look of the TE37s. I guess the Rotas stick out a lot. Also my understanding is the Volk is a higher quality wheel. But I'm not all out racing, so in terms of longevity, the Rotas could work.

^ Again, looks great. Considered 10mm spacers for the rears? Also what color are your TE's? Almost looks like a polished lip like LE's, but the entire wheel appears to be that color.

These are the regular 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22. The 19x9.5 +12 for the fronts look much better.

Thanks again. Yes I considered spacers, but I just might sell these and get some GTS in the regular 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +18 sizes. But you're right, an extra 10mm (and more of a drop) would look better. The lips aren't polished, just your normal Mercury Silver.

That is a good question. I looked it up and I think RAYS just called the color "Silver".

It looks like it's the same color of my old LMGT4's, I could be wrong though.

Did any of us purchase the 18x9.5" te-37 in +0 fitment off Zilvia.net?

I acted to slowly.

And yes, they were real.

There were only two available.
