what size tires were you able to fit on the front/rear? Looks awesome. I plan on lowering my car but I have a 2002 so not sure if I can run the same size tires without rubbing with those offsets.

Thanks!

Running 225/40/18s fronts, 285/30/18 rears. the front have a lot of room both inside and outside. I bet I can squeeze in 295/30/18s in the rear. I have no rubbing issues what so ever.

HIGHcardmean. i think the rays/volk decals would really set it off
DeAd-EyEgreat looking TE37's..it just re-enforces how badly i want a set

IMHO, if you put the volk/rays decals on the spokes where they should be, and added the 996 aerokit, your car would reach "ultimate spec"

What is the volk/rays decal you both mention? Does anyone have a picture of what these look like?

thanks,

I'm digging it. TE37 wheels are great. Very light weight and strong. Good choice!

honestly

yo...those wheels don't look good on your car. Black wheels always look a little smaller than they are...especially on silver cars. The factory wheels look better. No offense

Thanks for your honesty. I agree that these are no looker. If I wanted some bling wheels, I would have gone with many other options. The reason I had it finished in black is so that you cant really see the wheels.

Volk wheels don't photograph very well in the first place and the fact that they are black makes it even harder to get a good picture. I'm sure they look much better in person.

Glad you love that car...i drive my dad's when my M3 is in the shop and always envy the way it handles. Good answer about the wheels too....doesn't matter how they look...volks are super quality and lightweight. And not that they look bad...i just prefer the looks of the factor 2 piece 19's on the 996. Peace
