Volks are finally installed!!!

S65B40 · 07-09-2008, 09:03 PM

Decided to keep the factory 20mm staggered setup with meaty tires, here are the specs:

Wheels: TE37 Time Attacks 19x8.5/19x10.5 30mm/25mm

Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's 265-35-19F/285-35-19R

Suspension: H&R Sports

Feedbacks:

Ride Quality: Same as factory setup with H&Rs, with no rubbing whatsoever.

Braking: Slightly improved due to the wider tires all around

Cornering: Front grip is greatly improved

New shots added!!!

These are just teaser shots, I'll do an official photo shoot over the weekend.

AMPowerJ · 07-09-2008, 09:13 PM

I like the color scheme you are rock'n. The wheels go well with the FR interior.

M2381 · 07-09-2008, 09:28 PM

I def dig that color combo. Sexyy as hell

gbb357 · 07-09-2008, 09:30 PM

Very sexy and beastly looking.

ironjw · 07-09-2008, 09:38 PM

very nice!!

JEllis · 07-09-2008, 09:58 PM

very very nice...

Nucking Futs! · 07-09-2008, 11:21 PM

You know, I thought it wouldn't look good at all since nothing on the exterior is red besides the tail lights but it actually looks good due to the FR leather...just remember to keep the windows down all the time now, lol!

VOLKS FTW!!!

Krueger///M3 · 07-09-2008, 11:31 PM

Looks awesome!

armyav8tor · 07-09-2008, 11:43 PM

I have yet to see any aftermarket 19" wheels that look as good as the OEM 19s.

IWC Doppel · 07-09-2008, 11:46 PM

Looking very cool indeed

MWorldorder · 07-09-2008, 11:58 PM

Not bad. ...but then again I'm not a fan of all black wheels. It reminds me of hubcaps... ...looks clean though.

Macky112 · 07-10-2008, 12:14 AM

that looks very nice!

this might be off topic, any difference between TE37 and LE37T? and is there a way to make the face of the wheels flat with deep lips instead of concaved?

Concaveness depends only on offsets since there aren't different disk types for TE37's. The lower the offset, the more concave it is. Differences between all versions:

TE37 - One color for whole wheel
*LE37T - Black or gunmetal face w/clearcoated diamond lip
*TE37 Time Attack - These!

TE37 Mag - Magnesium
TE37x - Truck & SUV 16" applications
TE37 large PCD - Truck & SUV 18" applications

* - Denotes centercaps are included (usually around $100-$120 for a set of 4).

Thanks for the clarification Jimmy.

so would it be possible to get proper e92 offset with flat face + deep lips look?

btw, I read on e90post LE37T is discontinued, i hope that is not true =(

Yes, he has the Time Attack version which comes in a 10.5" rear width even though it's not listed on their website:

You're welcome. I edited my post sametime you quoted me (I added more versions of TE37's). e92 offsets are available but no flat face + deep dish for BMW applications. IMO, concave face looks better. Yes, LE37T is discontinued. First they came out w/gunmetal & then black. I love Volks especially TE37's. I'm on my 3rd set of TE37's (TE37 white, LE37T gunmetal & now Time Attacks). IMO, a great combination of timeless design yet ultralightweight & durable.

NocturnalEVO · 07-10-2008, 01:01 AM

Looks far better than I would have thought!

Question for you though.. aren't the 265 tires kinda wide for a 8.5" wide wheel?

Davinhci · 07-10-2008, 01:02 AM

looks awesome

hakaida442 · 07-10-2008, 01:08 AM

TE37 Mags are also discontinued. You can custom order Volks in any size and color, but may take 3 to 4 months.
