What do ya think? Yes its another one of "those" threads!

***kpSTI*** · 05-13-2008, 06:22 PM

Yes its another one of these threads. I have always wanted Volk TE37s. I currently have RAYS Arthur Exchange 18x7.5.
Here they are.... Volk TE37 17x7.5 +40 w/ Yokohama Advan Neova AD07's 235/40/17

Heres what the car looks like now...

I can't decide wether or not to get them. My rims are WAY more rare, but the Volks are hot! And Ricky don't get upset!

**Izzy** · 05-13-2008, 06:23 PM

I say keep the A|X. But...those TE37's have some NICE tires.

anavrin351 · 05-13-2008, 06:31 PM

keep the current wheels. i dont like bronze on black.

dt07Si · 05-13-2008, 06:33 PM

I say keep the A/X's!

I love TE37's, but I don't like that width and offset.

Combine the two red bolded statements and that's what I think of them.

Izzy and dt07Si (Dave, I think) = very very very knowledgeable guys.

HTX · 05-13-2008, 06:48 PM

keep the a/x's. they dont have the full on race look of the te37's. So many ppl have te37's. They are good looking wheels but starting to get a bit common. You need some fd2 sidemarkers that will help improve the exterior some.

Why don't you like the width and offset?

***SoCal07Si*** · 05-13-2008, 06:55 PM

thats an easy one. Keep what u have.

IMO the width and offsets are fine. Not feeling the color on black as well. I like lower offset wheels, I'd go even lower but +40 isn't bad at all. TEs > AX.

Really??? I love the way bronze looks on black!

1chin3s3_b0i · 05-13-2008, 07:22 PM

those bronze te37 will look damn good on your nhbp fa5

Like Fg2ner's ride?

I know its a FG, but I think it's still a pretty good example.

But, pertaining to the OP, I'd keep the A|X wheels. They're unique, not a lot of people have them, which can't be said for the TE37's.

This is true on 8thcivic, but in reality I still haven't seen one in person and you certainly aren't likely to see many out on the road.

There not bad, but it all depends on what your looking for I guess. If you want to go more of the performance route and get a lighter wheel and put more rubber on the ground without rubbing, than there a great option. But if you want the wheels to sit flush with the fenders, then I'd probably like them a lot more if they were 8" wide and or had a lower offset.

i dont even think i've seen te37's in person either but at the same time u cant pick up a tuner mag without seeing them on something and im not talking about the ads

Yes! I think it looks sooooooo damn hot! I don't think they are too common. They are a very expensive rim.

HTX · 05-13-2008, 09:51 PM

both wheels in question are very expensive.

Yes... I know... My RAYS arthur exchanges aren't cheap! But I love rims! They are like new shoes..

***illusionstwice*** · 05-13-2008, 09:54 PM

Keep the current ones. They are sick, and like u said... a bit more rare. Personally I like the look of te37's on a FG2...not an FA5. Thats why I wont ever get them

IF u do get those and sell the AlX's............let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HTX · 05-13-2008, 09:57 PM
