anybody have pics or can photoshop some Volk TE37's or SSR Comps onto a red TII? i just want to see if i even like the wheels and get a general idea of how they look on the car before i shell out the big bucks for some. thanks if somebody can hook me up with some pics.

 

www.tirerack.com .... itll let you do it.

 

No, tirerack only has white 10th anv's to put rims on. Bronze rims on your red TII are the way to go though. That's the same route I'm eventually going to take, but I'll probably end up getting a front mount first.

 

Yo,



I hate to say this, but put in "TE-37" into the search engine. You'll get threads like:

Not to be a dick, but the "Search" function is one of the best tools on this Forum.

What color TE-37 did you want? Talk to Rishie (ARD T2) about them, he can hook you up.

Thanks for pointing out those pics of my car Rarest! My car is not worthy of an example, yet. Sorry they are so dark, thats broad daylight in our Northern loacation...

Twisted-feel free to photoshop it red; and if you are photoshopping could you post one in original blue, but lowered an inch or two. I have to see how it will look once I get my coilovers on.
I finally got my engine in last night- now I just have to wire up the Haltech and bend up the fuel system- just...

The REW upper intake looks so sweet in out cars, I almost couldn't sleep last night :-). Definitely couldn't roll over on my stomach, definitely not. Flagpole! he he he.

 

Here is a pic of a car with lookallikes on my car.

 

I know those are copies, but I have noticed this same thing comsparing real TE-37s w/ varying offsets.

It really makes a difference of how the rim looks depending on what width and offset TE-37 you get as it slightly changes how much the "spokes" bow outward.

Just looking at the rims on the red car I would say they are 7" wide w/ 35-40mm offset because the spokes are so flat.
My 7.5" front and 8' rear w/ 30mm offset on both have a slightly more "bowed" look to the spokes.
Finally if you look at the blue Skyline in the BFGoodrich tire advertisement the spokes are very bowed, giving it a very aggressive look. I wouldn't doubt they are a 10" rim w/ 25mm offset- but I don't know Skyline sizing...

I guess my point is, very subtle differences in the rim become obvious once it is on the car accenting and contrasting the vehicles bodylines.

Tire width is another factor that is like this. Wider VS narrower tire on same rim make the rim spokes look like they are sticking out less, since the sidewall comes out further than the edge of the rim.

 

thanks man, thats a perfect example. red FC with an Apexi N1 just like my car. all that car needs is the stock spoiler i have. any more would be great if someone could come up with them.

 

i just realized you said those were look alikes. what kind are they? size? weight? price? by the way yes i've used the search button and have come up with many examples of both wheels but not what i was looking for. and as great as the tire rack is something is not letting me load it onto my computer and look at the wheels combo's. i can get to anything and everything else on there but that. i've been talking to Rishie as well and have gotton prices for the TE37's but its not like he's got pictures. maybe he does who knows. i asked him for sizes and prices not pictures though.

 

How the hell do you post pics into a thread??? I've got real ones on my car, but my car is white like you didn't want....they are 18x7.5 in the front and 18x9 in the rear. The 18x9 weighed in at just over 18 pounds (18.12) I think. The SSR's are about four pounds lighter per wheel for the same size and they are cheaper by alot. But you wont have VOLK status...If you guy's want to see pics just tell me how to post them on here...

 

yeah go ahead and post them anyways. i'd like to see how the spacing looks and what kind of wheel gap you have. you attach pictures where it says attach file under the reply box

 

bump

 

ok it keeps saying that my file's are too big....um I dont know how to make this work but you can kinda see them at www.kennewickimports.vista.com my car is on the home page and more in the gallery under all other cars. I will try to get more pics up of my wheels soon. The offset's are +40mm, the fronts fit real good at 0 camber but could stick out a little more if you have neg camber, or be a little wider. you will probably need to change offset if you go wider cuz mine are already about an eighth of an inch til they hit my coilovers. If you have any insight on how i can post pics please let me know.
