Volk SE37A on Spirit R grey '93
 
Hi All,

Due to request, I'm posting some pics of my new Volk SE37A on my 7.

I bought these from leatherface24, who's been nothing short of an awesome seller! :)

Enjoy.

nice ride! love the titanium gray metallic!

sonix7 11-17-05 12:34 PM

oh I thought it was a real Spirit R. Nice color though.

FD-BOOST 11-17-05 12:39 PM

Looks real good man, I like the combo rims/color.

cabaynes 11-17-05 01:12 PM

very nice, what sizes are they?

KungFuMonkey 11-17-05 01:15 PM

Do you have any close up picture of the rb catback from directly behind thanks

afgmoto1978 11-17-05 01:16 PM

That's the color combo I'm going after. Looks sweet!!

Touge Monster 11-17-05 01:26 PM

Looks real clean :)

prrex4ever 11-17-05 01:31 PM

Sweet! Like everyone else is saying, the color combo is awesome. Congrats, good choice in wheels.

Stanello 11-17-05 01:33 PM

One of the nicer ones I've seen. Nice car!

Sgtblue 11-17-05 02:24 PM

Wheels look great. Also reminds me of how nice these cars look w/o a wing/spoiler.

JDK 11-17-05 02:40 PM

Looks good Howi

Compilez 11-17-05 04:23 PM

That looks wicked!! Definately love the color combo. Damn the FD is so freakin sexy wingless! :)

sonix7 11-17-05 04:25 PM

yep, mine is BB and wingless. It looks mean. I also love the look, made it hard to get a spoiler.

YoshiFD3S 11-17-05 04:32 PM

I like how low it sits.

What size tires are you running on the front and rear?

FC3S.USD 11-17-05 04:39 PM

Very nice, looks soo clean and sexy.

I see you have moved on from the FCs

SayNoToPistons 11-17-05 04:52 PM

WOW! looks amazing! love the gun metal looking color with those rims. lovely...

scratchjunkie 11-17-05 06:47 PM

se37a's rock ;)

r0t0r-rooter 11-17-05 07:01 PM

As others have already said, it looks very nice BUT I'm curious how well your fenders are holding up....
From what I remember of Leatherface's thread, the offsets were a little off.

jic 11-17-05 07:09 PM

nice setup
what kinda suspension are you on?

Howi 11-17-05 10:31 PM

HOLY CRAP I can NOT believe how many replies there are!!
Thank you all very much for the compliments; they mean a lot to me. :)

I'll try to address all the questions you guys have:

225/40/18 for the front and 255/35/18 for the back, Potenza S-03's

yes sir! I've definitely prepared myself before purchasing an FD. I built my FC from an empty chassis, which makes maintaining a clean, rust-free FD a joke! I mean, once the rats nest is outta the car, it's ALLLL good! :)

Yes they do. The TE37's have always been my dream wheels until the day I laid my eyes on the SE37A: lighter, prettier, forged, monoblock, and the same manufacturer! They've been my dream wheels ever since. But they were discontinued from Volks so I thought I'd never get a chance to own these wheels in my life! Until I saw leatherface's thread..... :)

ya the offsets are a little off, and it has already rubbed the fender once when I went over a bump slightly too fast. But this is due to the poor suspension set up that came with the car: H&R springs w/ stock shocks. This combo is a comfortable street setup, way too comfortable for me. Once I get a set of coilovers it'll fix the problem.

Hey man, your car is my new favorite FD. My favorite color is silver stone metallic, but yours is a close second. Fix that rubbing issue... wanna trade your car for mine :)

Howi 11-19-05 01:29 PM

Thanks again everyone for the compliments :)
When I first got the car I thought it really needed a spoiler; it just seems like there's something missing at the back. But recently the wingless ass has really started to grow on me.... I think I'll keep it this way.....

Thanks Chris! I just picked up this FD the past July, but I've owned an FC for about 2~3 years. I'm not really into the meets, but I wouldn't mind going out for a drink sometimes! :)

Haha thanks man. Silver Stone Metallic, is that the stock silver colour? If so, that's the original colour of my car! My car has been painted everywhere except the firewall, but no one can tell because the original colour is silver!

if you look at the back of the rim inside, there should be a sticker that indicates the size and offset. my pair of se37a's is a pretty low offset at 38. the rears are good, but i do get some rubbage upfront depending how i go up driveways. time to roll da fenders!
