so your TE37s are still going to be used for everyday around town and the G2s are track-dedicated?

It was a bit of a personal battle, but I sold the TE37's and commited to 18's

Splitter turned out great man!
I need to pick a weekend to come back and see all the new mods in person.

Don't know how you did it! You are the one that converted me! My dream wheels used to be the RGRs but now the TE37s would give me a hard time choosing!

Your car still looks great but I don't know if your car makes the wheels look good or if they look good in their own right.

I think you did good with the 18" G2. 19" wheels, at least for our cars, always seemed just a little bit more show than go, anyway.

Fully agree with 18's but the look of the TE37s was just awesome.

I will let you know first if I every let these go.

I just added the specs to the post too.

Thanks for the update.

So, in hind sight I imagine you're happy with the net 22mm ET on a 9.5?

I've looked at the offsets on these before & always thought the ET 15mm were too aggressive. (especially lowered)

It might be OK for the "tuner stretched look" with lots of neg camber;
but not really suitable for a performance fitment.

BTW...
Not sure i can wait for you to get tired of the G2s.
The more I look @ them, the more I like 'em.

Yes, I am happy with the 22mm ET on a 9.5.

15mm would have been too aggressive for performance fittment. I almost ordered the 15mm ET rear wheels. This would have required some fender modification and I would not have had time to deal with that before my trip, so I am glad I went this route.

Thanks for the compliments on the wheels. I really like the look of them too.

Yes, I agree with you both. The 19's were my favorite look, but the 18's offer more performance tire options and are better for track use. Wheels are a personal preferance and the TE37's have always been my favorite.

In a perfect world, I would have both. The 19's for street use and the 18's for track. That being said, the current set-up is perfect for my use.

Thanks for the comments and feedback guys

You've got a couple of mods up your sleeve too

[O-cha]

What did you do hit the lottery or something. You went from a year of stock to 20k$ worth of mods in 3 months?

Sizes:
Front 19X8.5 et 40 w/ 245/35/19
Rear 19X10.0 et 25 w/ 275/30/19

This set-up was everything I was looking for. I picked up the wheel tire package from www.europeanautosource.com . The finish, and fitment was perfect.

These wheels just take the car to a whole new level. I think this will be my first mod. Excellent thread.

Oh crap, I have been made



O-cha, glad you checked out the thread. Both of your M coupes and the knowledge you share with the Zpost community really inspired a great deal of my build. Thank you for that.

I have been modding the car since day one. Here is a timeline, so no one thinks I am out there robbing banks.

I took too quick a gander at your list, and saw "Black Girls" instead of Black Grills for item #6 on the mod list
