Yes, the SE37A only comes in 18" sizes.

Ok found some...

I will say that while they're great looking wheels and exceptionally light (try 16.5lbs for an 18x9.5) they do not hold up well to daily abuse when you're using agressive pads such as Hawk HP's. They'll require a daily wash practically. I don't know how possible it is, but if you do purchase these wheels, have them clear coated. Sure, it'll add a few ounces per wheel, but the surface luster will last.

Michel, are those bronze AP CP5200 calipers? Did you get 13" or 14" rotors? Your brakes look nice... and big!

Those ARE bronze AP 5200's w/blue lettering ala Alcon calipers. Preferred the gold to the black so I did them myself :-) 13" rotors currently. Haven't upgraded the rears as of yet but I probably will before hitting the track.

RXTT95,
Did you actually weigh your wheels yourself or is the 16.5 lbs what you were quoted? That seems awful light, even for TE37s or SSR comps. Not doubting, just wondering.

Also has anyone seen the silver finish up close? Is it paint, or a shot-peened finish like the bronze?

Both. I was quoted about 16lbs. and I had them weighed on a post office scale. When I pulled the wheels out of the box I had to knock on them to make sure they were really metal and not plastic. They're stupid light for lack of a better term :-) Max has a set of the K's and I'm sure he can confirm.

My 17x8.5" SE37K was 15.2-15.4 lbs with the valve stem and center cap. The 17x9.5" was 16.6 lbs. I would guess that the 18x9.5" are closer to 18 lbs each (or perhaps the A is lighter than the K), but I haven't weighed any myself and that is about as light a wheel as you could hope for.
