Help Me Pick Some Wheels ....

Ok guys ... I'm thinking about selling my Custom Volke LE37Ts and getting a new set of rims .... I have my eyes on a couple of different rims but I havnt convinced my self on anything yet...

So here is my issue:

I am running Aspec's +30mm per side wider front fenders. This will allow me to get some crazy offset in the front like +10 .... I want to run 19s (these are going to be my street/show set up as I already have a set of Enkeis for track use), and I want a black face with polished lip ...

Here are what Im considering:

1)Volk TE37 (in the new black - same black as the time attacks w/o red lip) and then take them and have a shop polish out the lip.

Sizes: 19x9.5 +12 Offset Front & +22 Offset Rear

2)Volk CE28N (in the new black - same black as the time attacks w/o red lip) and then take them and have a shop polish out the lip.

Sizes: 19x9.5 +12 Offset Front & +22 Offset Rear

3)Gram Light 57s Pro (all polished, then once I get them have the faces powdercaoted gloss black)

Sizes: 19x9.5 +12 Offset Front & +22 Offset Rear

What are your guys opinons?

I think for step one, you should call Mackin Industries (official USA Volk importer) and ask them if LE37T's are available in black by special order. I can swear I've seen that before and it might save you some time and money versus customizing a TE.
Good Luck.

Good Luck.

Yea both the TE and CE are available in the new black (same as the Time Attacks) without the red lip. I would still have to take them and get the lip custom polished out as the rim only comes in a solid color.

19's on an Evo = Keep your current set-up...I think your car now is prob the nicest white one I've seen.

M3This: I'm not sure what your budget or taste is, but here's my suggestions...

BBS LM-- Its a classic. You can get it with either a black or gold face with the polished lip. SEXY design, and comes in the size/offset you specify.
----Downside: Pricey

CWWheel Classic: Has the same look as the BBS, but at more than 1/2 the cost. Comes again with the black face/polished lip.
---Downside: I dunno...I'm going with these.


Advan RS: Get them in plain silver and have them painted gloss black. Would be SICK lookin!
---Downside: Won't have the polished lip your looking for...but DANG!


Volk Racing GT7: With that size/offset your'd want...the GT7 would have PHAT lip. I love the design of the wheel!
---Downside: Not the best looking wheel on a Evo honestly...


*Just thought of another...Enkei RPF1 like EvoDaves. Painted gloss black, with a nice lip with those offsets.
---Downside: Not sure it comes in 19" with that offset.

With the wider fenders they are not going to look right .... so I need a more agressive offset...

Yes I love those BBS LMs ... however they are about $4800 for s set of 19" and I heard they stopped production on them

CWWheel I have been looking at ever since I saw the step lip ones on the AMS time attack car. They are insane looking an its dope that you can get them in a lot of different sizes ... however I dont think they are offered in the "Classic" in 19s

I have a set of Enkei NT03+M for track use that are +27 Offset with a 12mm spacer (so works out to be a +15 offset over all) and I'm powdercoating them black.

Another option is my friend has a hook up at Iforged and I can get a set of those wheels for a REAL GOOD price ... however I just thought the Volks would look sweet for the look Im going for.

I appreciate all your opions so please keep them coming..

Edit:

This is the look I'll be going for running a +12 offset up front:
