Prices seem to float at $460 each (17X8) 38mm 114.5 . Who has the best prices for these? Any pic with these rims on evo are welcomed

 

i think www.wheelwarehouse.com has pretty good prices.. i bought 17" gunmetal for $2k delivered for my S2000 about 2½ years ago..... I think they are cheaper than that now, plus white is cheaper than gunmetal anyway.

 

I like white but worried about brake dust and maintance. Perhaps gunmetal would be an easier choice for cleaning.

How do most of you think gunmetal would look on a red?

 

gunmetal looks good on any color...

 

Hi GTR

The TE's standard color is white and bronze, I think it's about $35 a wheel to order a non-stock color like gunmetal. Glen at upgrademotoring.com is selling Volk's at 15-20% off, but it sounds close to your price. A new color is mercury silver which is a darker more metallic silver.

Could someone confirm that (17X8) 38mm 114.5 TE37's would clear our brakes

 

don't think so... you have to use the 17 x 8.5 with a 30mm offset...

 

Thanks. With 8.5 i should go with 245's. Would that be 40's or 45's?

 

you can run either a 235/45 or a 245/40...

 

It's not so much the offset as it is the spoke design. Volk has specific models of te37s that fit, you can check the japan website: http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/emenu/wheel.html

Or ask Glen at upgrademotoring to talk to mackin ind. in santa fe springs, CA, who is the US source.

I looked on the web and it only shows that the 17 x8.5 30mm has the caliper clearance. I know people that have these on Evos but it doesn't help if you need 8". If I can find my volk brochure I'll check again.

 

No they don't fit unfortunately, you would need the 17x8.5, +30. Tires would be 235/45/17 according to the Volk book

 

are black te-37's rare?

i don't think those are even available...

 

I am pretty sure you can special order lots of different colors.... it takes about 3 months to get them. I have seen blue TE37's, chrome, etc......

I ordered a set of LE37's for my Cobra about 70 days ago and still no word on them...so the special order thing is a long long process.

 

what color LE37's did you order...?

if you say blue TE37's they were probably the Magnesuim ones... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...
