Default Santa just showed up....

Santa just stopped by my house on Christmas eve. It WAS a fat guy with a beard, but he wasn't riding in a sleigh with a few reindeer pulling his heavy a$$ through the snow. He was in a big, brown UPS truck, and he dropped off my new 19" Volk gunmetal LE37's.

As he left I think I heard him shout: "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"....or something like that.

Congrats!!!

You are going to **** when you get 'em on. Wait until the first time you come out of a store, restaurant, etc. and approach the car from across a parking lot. It's sooo mean looking, even more so with 19s vs. the 18s I got.

Congrats zztop, laosifu. Can't wait to see them on your cars. Nice pic droideka.

Santa had a different ride in my hood. He came in a fedex truck to drop off an exhaust. And he was tired as heck.

I love the TE's.....but I did want to go up to 10.5" wheels on the rear, and when I saw the polished lip on the LE37's, it was all over. Jeff at Evolution hooked me up right away.

I'll have a mint, and I mean MINT, set of TE's for sale next week!

Nice!

If you don't mind me asking:

What are the offsets...

and financial setbacks in case no one asked yet?

Love how they look!

Front 9.5", rears, 10.5", both with +22 offsets.

I haven't rolled the fenders yet...so far no rubbing at all. If you're going to drop the car, as I plan to, you would definitely have to roll.

Contact Jeff at Evolution for pricing....it's the best I've found for Volks anywhere.

Jeff,

Could you PM me with the price on some 19" silver LE37s? Those pictures of the gunmetal make me wish I had gotten a siverstone Z but I have a CS and don't like how gunmetal looks with it. Do you think the silver LE37s would go well with a chrome silver Z? I like how my base wheels look with it currently and think silver LEs may have a similiar finish.
