I have a WDP Type S

 

Doesn't float my boat.

 

I am not THAT fond of them, but the weight is kinda winning me over..plus its VR

 

will look nice in bronze or gunmetel..

I bet those are expensive..

have you checked into the LE-37's

SE-37 A look nice on TL-S

 

no, but I will check them out, thanks

 

that's nice because the polished lip breaks up all that silver on the normal wheel...but all silver looks really nice too!

 

I will have my SE37s on my TL-S this week, I'll be sure to post pics
I like those special edition ones tho...I'm tempted to get them for the TL-S...
too bad they don't come in 19"

 

You read my mind...wish they came in 19s
(Hey this is Fazle BTW )

 

They have the same problem as my wheels, a thick rim, it makes them look smaller, they are 19's and people are always asking me if they are 18's. The Campionato SS7's look enormous and are available in 18 and 19, probably my next wheel.

 

what's up brother, how's the car? now that we have the same car, we can show each other pics of the mods and it'll be like getting htem all ourself..hehe

 

I was lookin at those too but I dunno....25 lbs each for the 19s..thats about 8 lbs heavier per side

Isnt there a formula that says that 1 lb of rotating mass is 6lbs regular weight ? so 8 lbs heavier would feel like 48 extra lbs per wheel, so total of almost 200 lbs more....so if every 10 lbs mean 0.1 sec of the qmile....damn am I doing this right ?

 

hehe. good
i was trying to find out your address from Balzz so I could send you a card, but Balzz couldnt find your business card or something

 

I'm not 1005 sure of the formula, but yeah, I think you're right, it's a lot of weight when you get big heavy rims...getting my light Volks really mae my CL-S a lot faster and I know it will make a difference with the TL...I wonder if I should get those Volks...they look SO nice...but I dunnno if they'd be good on...
Faz, you get em, then I'll judge

 

as u wish, sire :o

 

excellent
I think they will look dam good tho...especially with the Pearl...

 

That rim is very nice.. especially considering how light it is. You can take a look at the Racing Hart CP-035's... but those don't even have a center cap for them... so I think the special editions would be the right choice for a light weight, good looking, performance rim.

 

Shouldn't this be moved to "Tires & Wheels"?

 

Nice, I like it... especially the weight.

 

...damn havent heard that name since H-A..whats up dude???
about the wheels im not to sure about chroming some of the lightest wheels out there...But, what about machine polished???

 

hey bro, how are ya :p
Yeah OT split off of H/A and I have been at OT since then..

does VR make polished rims ?

 

Whoa Fazle!!!! Sup!!! Hey, glad to see as a fellow TL owner. When did you migrate to the TL-S?

 

yo yo
just about 7 weeks ago...lovin it so far

 

not sure if they make 'em polished but if you're gonna drop a few grand on wheels what a few hundred more to get them polished

 

do anyone of you recall the gold top secret wide body supra? it was the cover of superstreet a couple of months ago. if so, this car had the gold faced, polished lip wheels made in the style of the te37...but it was 19" and called the te85 wheel.

 

The stock wheels weigh 26 lbs! And overall wheel weight is not the simple answer, it depends if the weight is near the hub or near the rim to determine how much effect it has on the acceleration of your car. And it's 100 lbs of STATIC weight = about 0.1sec, rotational weight is a much more complicated formula requiring a doctorate in physics to accurately calculate. But it's your car and if you want 18's, those look good and are SERIOUSLY light.

 

Too.. Civic... Not my style of rim when I think of TL.... Light weight is a great way to increase preformance though... But hey it's your car do what you feel brotha!

 

thank you for your input
I know there are a lot of external factors, I was just tryin to get an overall estimate how much lighter its gonna be....

I called the local VR dealer and they said these rims are gonna be available the first week of Jan

 

I like them. Wow they weigh almost as much as my 17". Do they come in Gunmetal or silver?

 

bronze with polished lip
silver with polished lip
gunmetal with polished lip

 

my volks are 12 pounds per wheel lighter than stock...and teh weight on the stock ones is around the outside edge, where as the Volks look a lot more balanced...
I think freakyshiat should get them and put them on his pearly white girly

 

Happy to offer my opinion, everyone's got one, and that's why we're all here. :p
Sux about the delayed availability though. At least they are going to be limited edition, so hopefully not too many people will have the same wheel as you, it sucks to see some crappy car with the same rollers, then again not too many sh!tbox owners are gonna spring the dough needed for Ray's wheels.

 

Fazle, what's up? Didn't know this was you. You should try getting them in white (if they have it in white) with the polished lip, that would be awesome.

 

Ooh nice. Go for it. I like.............

 

I don't get why anyone puts stickers on a car like this...even on the wheels. It must be a "boy" thing.

 

Love the wheel, but HATE any stickers on wheels or anywhere else. Makes no sense that people turn their car into a billboard.

 

Those wheels are awesome. how much are they??
