Yep TE37SL pressed graphite without the stickers. I'm not a fan of the big red stickers.

Yea the stickers are not necessary. Any enthusiast could pick them out even on a roll.

Thanks!
I should rephrase that, I think the stickers are definitely cool looking, on the right build they can look great. For my goals I prefer the cleaner look without them.

Thanks for chiming in. I really like them, wanted to see what others thought.
For specs I'm thinking: Front 18x9 et 45 with 10 or 12mm verstrasse spacers. I'm leaning for the 12s because I think those are the ones that have the hubcentric lip. Rear 18x9.5 et 22 Keeping my 245/275 tires. This way the front keeps the rim/tire relationship from stock (more wheel for the tire, so less deflection on hard cornering), but the rear goes to measured rim width for the tire size, for a little less weight and easier fitment. Should also be about the widest with zero rubbing even under hard cornering. Been going back and forth with Finnegan on specs for a while now, thanks Finn!

And yeah, 18x9" only comes in 45 for some strange reason. Otherwise I'd get a lower offset for concavity and so I don't have to run spacers. I considered 9.5" et35 fronts for 255 tires... but I figured that would rub.

I have the TSW Nurburing RF's
18's staggered 9 in front 10 rears. I have them on Hankook Ventus V12 evo Love the wheels, tires are very good, not amazing, but at that price point hard to object.

The gloss gunmetal/graphite wheel looks great on our bronze babies. I like the stickers... but then again I like colored lugs too FWIW I have zero rubbing even on track days with:
19x8.5 et32 245/35 19x9.5 et20 275/30

I didn't read the chart correctly, so the sizes they have for us are actually:
18x8.5 et35 18x9.5 et22 Which would work fine with 245/275, but I was hoping for wider fronts. Or even 18x9.5 et35 front or square. But the 9.5 width only comes in et 22 or 15.
