Time Attacks finally on!

I got my new wheels on the car last night and grabbed a few pictures today at a handy PCA Concourse Event! Drew lots of good comments there (kind of as I thought, you see these wheels alone in pics and have doubts how they will look on the car, but put them on and its another story)..

These are the 19x12 and 19x8.5 Volk TE37 that Vivid Racing carry. The rears have a 65 offset (so I believe they fit a 997 widebody) and I used a 14mm H&R spacer and longer lug nuts to fit.. My fenders are rolled but I'd say there was no need, and my car is lowered about 1.25" with H&R springs also.. No rubbing issues. Very satisfied with the results!

Nice wheels! Looks very hot, I was considering that set a few weeks ago when Vivid posted them for sale! I just lost out! Thanks for sharing

I am going to get some more close ups later and find a spot to get some decent pictures. Here is one from Thursday when they arrived and I put them on one side though, with the smaller spacer...

Also, looking forward to getting the stickers, after seeing your wheels on your car with the white decals on the rims I am tempted to do them also..

Thanks! From Dan at Vivid:

Rears are about 23lbs and fronts about 19lbs
They are certainly light and go on easy!

Great Looking wheels, i had these a couple years ago on my 350z and they feel amazing when driving.

Vivid - Can you get these wheels with a more aggressive offset in the rear? like lets say 45? if you did, wouldnt that give you that awesome concave look on the rear wheel?

pics look awesome! I added your picture to the product page here - http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/v...1-p-46122.html

The wheels are as concave as they are going to get in the rear.

Sure you can get those... for your 350Z. Not for the 996TT :)

LiNks Apr 21, 2008 06:03 PM

thats what im asking my man!..........if you lower the offset on the rear wheel instead of using a 14mm spacer to get the concave look??? does it exist? can you get them like that for the 996tt? Basically why not have them made with a 45-51 mm offset in the rear.

Those look BADA$$!!!
