Im seriously considering these Volks, the LE37K, in the gunmetal:





Didnt see anyone with them in the wheel gallery. Lots of people with the CE28's or TE37's. Anyone out there have these? Opinions?

Tsex on 19s

How much are they? and how long does it take to get em over here.. cause im really liking the gold ones..

xizor

they are the hotness, but very rare wheels because the ce/te are much more popular. i like htem a lot.

Tsex on 19s

how much and how can u get em?

joerockt

I've got a friend of a friend that works somewhere that can get them apparently. He said they would be around $2400 with rubber. I'll find out more next week...

joerockt

Here's a place that has your golds for 2100, "on sale" lol

phat rimz

joerockt

I like the Maya STM's too, but they only come in 19's...Not that intrested...


The wheel gallery has a black tsx with them that just looks SICK...

Tsex on 19s

damn 2100.... not bad at all.... as soon as my kit come on, i think ima try and sell my rims...

Tsex on 19s

they dont come in 19s?

joerockt

No, the Volks biggest are 18's. The Maya's are pretty much the same exact type that come in 19's, but im not sure if they have a gold version. I think when I was searching, they do. Also about the same price.

Tsex on 19s

what are the rims dzuy got again? but joe these rims are exclusive, dont pass em up

joerockt

Not sure what duzy got. Well, if the guy that said he could get them is for real, then it shouldnt be a problem.

Helicobacter Pylori

2400 with rubber, very nice~

dzuy

i have 19" volk racing te37.

the le37k is discontinued i think. i know someone how has the gold ones and i think he wants to sell em.

i think the le37k only come in 18's (largest), but yea, they're not a real popular rim.

joerockt

Apparently people are still selling them and/or can get them. I'll find out for sure tomorrow or Wed.

The Maya's are very similar, but im not sure if I want to go 19". Duzy is yours lowered? How would the a-spec drop look with 19"? Or is it even needed for 19's?

Tsex on 19s

its needed for 19s.. i think dzuy got the eibach pro kit on his, and on my 19s i got Ground control coilovers with Koni's

joerockt

How much does the eibach kit lower by?

xizor

1.6/1.4

A-Spec drop is so minimal, barely looks like the car is dropped IMO

LannyM

I just put the A-Spec kit on my cat last Wednesday, and I can tell you with certainty that it dropped it 1.25" front and back. Having seen pictures of cars with Eibach, I gotta believe it drops it more than 1.6/1.4. I know those are the published specs, but most pics I've seen show almost no gap with Eibach...

But I agree, if you're looking for that slammed look, then A-Spec is not for you.......

joerockt

Definatly NOT looking for the slammed look. I think the aspec is the perfect amount of drop for me. Thanks for the response LannyM.

dzuy

the eibach pro kit doesn't give a slammed look, the gap is minimal, but if you get the a spec suspension, it's gonna look really ugly with 19's.

first off, your car is going to sit higher if you get 19's. the a spec suspension barely lowers your car.

the eibach pro kit will make your ride harsher, and it will kill your shocks faster than the a spec package. but it'll look 10x better.

you can't even tell the difference between the stock and aspec suspension. it's a serious waste of money imo.

esp since you can buy eibach pro kit and koni shocks for the same price as the a spec.

look at the modified tsx gallery, it's a stick in the photo gallery section for pic of my car, as well as other modded tsx's.

joerockt

Well, my plan is not to get 19's. The Volks are 18's...

Yea, it looks like the eibach kit is the way to go...Should I do this first before I get the rims? I guess I can order them right now.

Anyone know of a good place to get them? And is this something I could do myself?

xizor

I would do the rims first as an order will take forever. I got my prokit for $150 shipped off someone on ebay, stores run about 180-200. check the vendors on the boards too.

joerockt

Well, I can do em both right now if they only cost that. Chepest I've found so far was 197, not shipped...checkin Ebay.

xizor

these should be correct link to ebay . They're used, but look like they'll be a nice low price when they finish. The secret to finding the springs on ebay is that the TSX ones are the exact same as the 03-04 Accord 4door I4. You can check the part #'s at eibach's webiste

joerockt

That guy selling those eibachs is saying it only lowered his accord 1.3"? Is he misinformed?

joerockt

Ok guys, im a total noob with getting wheels so I need some info so I can order the correct size.

So I know, 18" is the diameter of the wheel, and I think the width is measured 7.5, 8, 8.5 and then there is the offsets. So, what would be the best setup? I dont want the tire sticking out beyond the fender wall. What else is there to consider?

And once I get that figured out, what would be the best tire size?

ClutchPerformer

Maya Wheels You can get the Maya STMs in 18 if you order the HyperBlack color (the one shown in the pic you posted). STMs are . Maybe when I get a real job, I can treat Tish to some of those.

Edit: What offset is good will depend on what wheel width you choose. Choose a width first.

joerockt

I was thinking 235/40 R18

Hmmm, and the Hyperblack dosent look as black as I thought. That might work.

And it sounds like the LE37K's are going to be hard to get. Im now also liking the Volk GT-N's, pic'ed here, except in Gunmetal:


Im still confused, but not as confused as I was before

dzuy

what are you so confused about?

i had 18" x 7.5" volk racing le-28n's in gunmetal. i think the offset was +43?!? ask dabuda, he bought them from me. i had 225/40 - 18 tires. 235/40 is going to look chunky.

the gt-n's, as well as the rest of the gt series, is not a completely forged wheel. specifically, the gt-n is a two piece wheel, with the face being forged, the rest of the wheel is cast.

so the gt series is a lil cheaper than the monoblock forged line - i.e. the ce28n and the te37. the se37 is also a forged wheel, but was never popular. in fact, you are one of the few people that i have heard say that they like that wheel.

le37k should be hard to get, as i mentioned, they were discontinued.

dzuy

that is what eibach speced it at.

supposedly it drops the accord 1.3, but 1.6 front/ 1.4 back for the tsx.

once again, you can see the modified tsx gallery, there are a few cars that have the eibach pro kit.

and i would say the majority of the modified tsx's on this board also have this suspension.

joerockt

Im just confused about the type of wheel I want to get. I think the Maya's are looking like the best choice now.

I never said I like the SE37

So where would I see a difference between a +43 offset and a +48? Assume both using 225/40R18's

joerockt

Yea, Im definatly going with the eibach kit, I was just trying to find the best price out there for em.

ClutchPerformer

Sweet. Take lots of pics!

dzuy

the se37 IS the le37k...the le37k just has a polished lip and comes in different colors.

+48 offset will sit closer INSIDE the fender, as opposed to +43 which will sit flush with the fender. or is it the other way around. i always forget. xizor has a good handle on this.

i just go to my shop and tell them, i want it to sit flush with the fender, and they give me the right offset.

maya's are ok.

joerockt

Ah, I see...So the smaller the number, the futher out it will sit?

I think just inside the fender would be perfect.

dzuy

haha. don't quote me on that. i'm sure you can find out by doin a google on it.

pm xizor, he's the wheel man around here.

joerockt

Heh, ok...actually, you are correct. This thread helped quite a bit.

Got a quote on the Maya's, $2232, no tires

dzuy

that's a rip dude. you can get volks for that much money.

joerockt

lol, now I've gone from confused to frustrated

Thanks for all your help and insight duzy, it is appricated.
