18x8.5, 18x9.5 Volk TE37's installed

HBspeed · 04-29-2009, 10:37 PM

This is a little late as I installed these a month ago or so but here are some pictures! I was stoked to find them off a guy with an e46 m3 who already went through the long process of custom ordering the wheels through Volk and waiting the 6 months or so it can take. The tires are Sumitomo HTR Z III in 245/40 front and 275/35 rear. The only rubbing that occurs is when backing out of my driveway and turning the wheels at full lock.

wow... very nice

What size are your stoptech rotors?

Are you using spacers to get around the BBKs?

3002 tii · 04-30-2009, 08:31 AM

very nice, love the cf splitter.

how do u like the sumitomos? i just ordered new shoes myself and they're coming wrapped in htr z iii's as well.

The rotors are 355mm (14 in.) and I'm not running any spacers since these wheels have the ideal offsets. The Sumitomos have been really good tires so far. I used them for one track day at spring mountain and they fared really well. Here are the wheels specs:

Volk Racing TE37 Wheel 18x8.5, 5x120 (+35 Mercury Silver)
Volk Racing TE37 Wheel 18x9.5, 5x120 (+22 Mercury Silver)

I have a set of te37 18" also
Which center cap did you have on your te37 ??

ZStig · 04-03-2011, 12:19 PM

Does the car FEEL any faster with this set compared to stock?

Z4mc87 · 04-03-2011, 01:13 PM

I felt my car was faster after I installed them during the first day, after that it felt the same as always haha, I bought it mainly for the looks and for track use. I got 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. It felt really light carrying by hand compare to the stock ones

Hooray for TE37's!!

Mercury Silver is a relatively rare finish. Good for you!
