The stock wheels are a bit thicker spoked but I agree. They just don't scream "sporty". These are very sporty wheels...on a not so sporty car. Does that make sense?

IMO the TL is fickle in that it requires a balance between class/sport and not being overly pretentious (or overdone).

I'd probably like it better with some new tails (possibly headlights too) that go with the lighter themed wheels.

im implying the stock "stars" were sporty.

and I agree with you on the balance between class and sport. although, I did just pick up the same wheels Austin did. I'll have to find that balance.

^you're going to make his head explode...
lol

he actually didn't want the concave look. In this instance, I agree...the spokes look more substantial flat.

Lmao thanks everyone.

J is right, I like the flat face Volks better than the Varr reps. Otherwise I would have had them a long time ago lol.

I don't understand. Why would you ever decide to roll on TE37s?

...you know how I feel about your decision.

That photo is pretty awesome too. Both of them.

1st post to any of your threads austin, But I do like your current set-up, good job
even though you had some influences on wheels. But I do like the TE37's even if
there some dislikes on your wheel choice. And I bet you get more looks on the street.

I really like the contrast, definitely gives the car an even sharper look. It's an attention grabber in all the right ways.

Welcome to the TE-37 club.

I'm so happy you went with real volks, and not the knock offs like everyone seems to do now a days. Looking good.

yoks, I was just giving you a hard time. If it's any consolation, there is much confusion had with like 90% of my posts. LOL. I write what I think, and I forget people aren't in there to know context.

Steven, black car, white wheels. B & W, duh.

Looks spectacular!! Great choice! Didnt read thru everything...are they painted, powdercoated or plastidipped?

Last pic makes me want to put some super dark tint back on mine.

More pics please!!

You gotta bring that beauty to the upcoming FL meet.

They are powder coated, I'm not sure on the exact color. Long story short I got screwed around a lot from a fellow TL owner and I didn't get snowcone white like I wanted.

They're powercoated, George.

Yeah, I was on the fence about tint for a while too, but in the end, I decided FL just needs it...on both the S and the TL. Helps with heat and looks sinister.

I agree with you there...what started out as just a question for a good recommended shop, turned into a nightmare BUT at the end of the day, they got fixed, they are white, you saved the money and DID find a reputable shop that is friends with your current family business and will likely be a hook up/reference for you from now on.

Glass is half full

All that matters is that they're on the car now!
