Only 15? Are you sure? I thought they were just a bit over 16 each. They look SWEET though, although I think I would paint the centercaps (probably white too) and install them for a cleaner look.

Hey Eric, I'd love some info on your "Volks"
Have you got a number for where you got them?? I don't want just any Volk dealer, I'd really appreciate your "volk" dealer.

This is the easiest choice you can make on your seven!! there is NO competition, unless you like having money...

Volk TE-37's are soooo awesome!! OMG I want those bad... But dangit they are quite expensive....

I knew those were TE-37s on yer car erik! Looks GREAT!

Yo,




About the stock TII's centercaps, I have 'em painted but I haven't put 'em on. I don't like the fakeness of having the centercaps, and the fake chrome wheel nuts. I intend to get black Spline drive nuts, and painting the center hub/rear nut black. So instead of the Grade 8 Gold, you would just see black. That red supercharged FC (Inifini I think is his Forum name) had Volks TE37's with black wheel nuts and it looked really good. When I had the wheels powdercoated white, I was going for the JDM style, and they don't use wheel covers in Japan! For the most part. *grin*

Eric, I know you weren't trying to pull anything over anyone. I was being serious. I really do want to know who your dealer is.

Alright, thanks to all who posted...Eric I Dig the Volk TE-37's but your car looks so dope, I dont wanna take anything away from you. My ride would look exact to yours and I want it to be different. So i have ordered the Tenzo-R Rs-5's Had to special order them, I had them powder coat white the 5 spokes and leave the lip silver. like the pic below but white.

This is the best pic i could find of them -sorry so big-

haha, ok well in that case...i really don't have any idea "who" the dealer was. about 1.5 years ago my roomate came across this group by deal on "imitation" Volk TE-37's. same mold, same stickers, same color...but just cast aluminum instead of forged (the result...not as light as the real ones)

anyway, the deal was $750 for all 4...so i just handed him the money since he was getting a pair as well...wired the money, and then they were delivered. i'll have to ask him who the actual place was...i know they had a brand name...but i can't remember.

maybe later today i can get ahold of him and post it here

Oooh I want those... I suppose having real TE-37's for street use could be bad idea? pot holes could F them up huh? but I suppose your heavier ones are probably a bit more durable huh?

If you know anyway I can get those.. let me know! I want em!

Forged wheels are stronger than cast wheels. I beat the hell outta mine and with one exception they hold up real well.
(full throttle into curb, bad idea)
