Default TE37 with polished lip?

Does anyone know if they make TE37's with a polished lip. I know the LE37T's do but I like the way the spokes on the TE37's look. If you have pics please post. Looking for gunmetal.

the only difference between the LE and TE is the polished lip. the spokes are the same.

The slant of the spokes only depends on the offset. I am running +22 offset on my wheels which give it that concave look.

doesnt look the same to me...seems like the curvature of the spokes is different.


edit: nevermind...now that i see the pic above it looks the same. must be the offset that was throwing me off.

Thanks for the comments. The LE37T comes in gunmetal and silver. They don't come in Bronze, only the TE37's.

If you happen to run across a set of cheap TE's, you can always get the lips polished. I had some TE-37's on my old Prelude and they were originally white. I got them refinished in silver with a mirror lip. SABS in Houston only charged me $80/wheel to refinish and polish the lip. I am sure it is cheaper just to get the lip polished. Take a look. Just an option.

by putting on a +22 to get that concave spoke do you lose the wider lip?

With the +22 offset, you get concave spokes and less lip. With the other offset , you get straight spokes and fatter lips.

If you get +22 10.5 wide rears, you will have concave spokes and lip. Or you can get +12 9.5 rears for the same effect.
