that being said, i want to rephrase the first sentence in my first post above. its not that the TE37 doesn't go well w/ the 996...its that small TE37's w/ too much wheel gap don't go well w/ the 996 (like the picture at the top of page 1). i have yet to see a 996 "slammed" on 18" or 19" TE37's, but i bet a picture of that would make alot of people change their minds...

That Ferrari is naughty. Thanks for the opinions guys. That pic sucks. When Kenna gets his, we will take better shots. He has a bronze set coming for his GT3.

. either way, with the right size wheel accomodated by an appropriate drop in ride height, i think both cars would look killer...IMO. though i think the P-car would wear them better.

in all honesty i wish youthe best of luck with this group buy. i think people are looking at that one picture and making their final decisions right away (the first impression is usually a lasting one). but i am convinced that the TE37 could look amazing on the 996 (and even the 997) w/ the right suspension/drop/spacing. all you need is a picture(s) of that, and some people's first impressions would most likely be different.

great pics Vivid! i noticed that some of those 996's are sporting a 5-spoke wheel. they bare a strong resemblance to the Nismo LM GT4's (also made by Rays Engineering) that is so popular on Nissan tuner cars (R34 Skylines, 350Z, Silvias, etc.). i've never seen a 5-spoke TExx/LExx/CExx series wheel from Volk...are those strictly for racing/track use? i've never seen them advertised anywhere.

imo the volks look good on the race car with tthe flashy grapics and super wid ebody but not on a street car.. what really matters is the buyers if the buyer loves teh wheel on his car thats what it all matters..
i love my equips!
