Try eBay?
I don't see what's so special about the stickers.

Mercury Silver TE37 19x9.5+22 l 19x10.5 +22
Bridgestone RE-11 255/35R19 l 285/35R19
I think I'll get 10mm spacers all around.

^ Do it! As a reference, here is an old photo with the same setup you described, except only 5mm spacer up front:
Maybe consider just a 5mm spacer up front to avoid the front having more 'poke' than the rear?

I will sry110. I'll also install the Veilside lip I bought over a year ago, but I wish my Z is a bit lower to complete the look.

do volk te-37's have a clear coat on top of finish? do any of you guys apply wax or any kind of sealant to protect the finish?

thnx for the info. is it similar to regular car wax? does it change the gloss of a wheel for example on a matte black? is it hard to come off? im afraid of scrubbing the wax off over the volk stickers.
ive had my wheels for 5 years now and the fnish looks great because car has been garaged i just started thinking about sealing the wheels when i was washing them the other day

Similar to car wax yes more so bc the way you apply and wipe. Easy to come off on gloss texture... not sure about matte texture.

My le's were pretty beat up and their 10 year old age was apparent so I decided to get them powder coated, here's a preview of the color

thanks! In pictures they come out blueish but they are mostly purple in person. In sunlight they have a slight hint of blue. Pretty crazy
These are 2 pictures I took with my phone, one outside in the light and one inside. Looks like two different wheels
