Blue Mag TE37s on PB EVO X

Do ya'll guys think the blue mag TE37s would look good on a Phantom Black EVO X?

A part of me says yes and the other part says no. Hmmmmmmmm......?

One of our vendors is selling a set of TE37s Blue Mag in 18x9.5 +15. I'm worried about the fitment cause I know everyone recommends the +22 setup as the ideal for the EVO X. Would there have to be some extreme fender rolling to get these puppies to fit?

Go for it, it'll be different and should look pretty cool. I don't think you'd need to roll the fenders with those, unless you go for a really meaty tire. There have been much more aggressive setups already, and even those only require a minimal roll.

It would be sick. I can set you up with the wheels as well as help with fitment if you would like. Mag blue TE's are sick on any color.

I just think Dark colored car w/ dark color wheels are pretty played out..

just about every moms and pops are rolling this setup everyday..

go with something flashy so people can notice you driving your X.

Go with orange, gold, green, purple, silver or white wheels!! They will make your car POP!!

Rays Japan can do it if we can get 10 buyers committed to purple color. This means you have to leave a deposit in order to get this color made.

Speed Element,

I think gold is played out on black cars, but orange would be awesome. If I was to get orange, they would have to be TE37s, do you know a link to some orange TE37s or will I have to get them custom powdercoated (no paint)?

It does look hot! But I'm still timid of the fitment. A wheel calculator determined that a 18x9.5+15 will stick out 36mm further than the stock MR BBS rim. That may be too much.

Heck yeah he will. He'll probably need to hit it with some negative camber as well. I have 9"wide wheels installed on my 10. With 255's, and when turning, it hits the liner.
With a 9.5" wide wheel, I'm assuming he'll run at least 265's, and prolly 275's (or else why run the width..?)

Calvin.. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude... just hook up with a local powder coater. Usually 2-3 days, less money (by a long shot), and the color's applied in the same fashion Rays does it. The amount of people willing to wait several months (not to mention give you their money up front) to get their wheels, is a lot smaller than the amount of people willing to wait a few days. More wheels sold, more happy customers riding around with new and wild colors, you send me a nice little bird-dog fee... Everybody's happy

If I was to just buy silver TE37s and have them powder coated the Mag Blue Color, the magic question would be:

What is the color code for the Mag Blue TE37s? If you answer that, your god!!!
