So picked up my wheels today. They are TE37 replicas by Varrstoen.

here are some cell phone pics. I was quite surprised by the quality of their matte black paint..seemed much better than the factory paint from my WORK wheels. So sad that I have to paint over it already..I want to rock them right now in matte black!

19x9.5 all around. +22(rear) +30(front)
They going into paint shop tonight...bittersweet.

Thanks man. You know its my last year of owning this car and I've been so hypnotized by the stance scene..I really want to give it a go with my CU2. Part of this whole fad though is having crazy colored wheels. Personally, I love the look and I want to try it while I still can. There are some local shows coming up this summer and stuff too and I really want her the attention she deserves..our cars are so under rated many people dont even know they can be modded.

Here are the my #1 and #2 picks. 8 more hours till I have to bring em in so opinions on which one are welcome.

I saw Nitrous' purple ones in person, many many wheels ago...they were mezmerizing. I vote for that color.

J.

PS, looking great man, nice pick up on your set.

got your point and i agree with you there are no people that do anything the TSX after i put the body kit on i notice that many people were looking at my car differently than on stock one and i think that without breaking the bank you can make the car look even better
as far as the color i would do the first one they are crazy and classy

Tobwac no doubt your car is a head turner now, especially with the coils. Most of the attention I get isnt necessarily because my car is modded, but just curiosity about what my car is. In vancouver here, its like CU2's go unnoticed. I slap on a couple mods, people finally give it a second look, and they're intrigued because its like something they've never seen before..when really its been in production for years. Can you relate tobwac?

i get looks and compliments simply because of the color usually, the blue is really an outstanding blue. but i feel even the slight mods i've done have made her more of a head turner. i was pulling out of the campus lot yesterday and sitting at the light with my tints up, and as people were walking by they stared at the car, then i lower the window a bit, give a head nod to some kids i knew, and gun it at the light. i love VTEC hahahaha

Pyro, I couldn't agree more. Not only are blue cars rare, modes ones are even rarer. I can totally bleev your car gets plenty of attention. I would love for my next car to be a real color like red, blue, or yellow

i was set on black on black, until i saw this blue. i'd also get the milano red. both gorgeous cars. hate silver, and not a fan of white, though it can be made to look good, like yours, just not my personal preference. i wouldn't do yellow though. yellow belongs on super cars, and even then, i prefer other colors. too obnoxious

Omg.... Jizz in ma pants. 19x9.5 + 22 and +30!!!!! Please tell me how the fitment is for the fronts. I am very keen to know! That is crazy.......... And I vote for purple as it's one of my favourite colours. I wanted to make mine purple/an uncommon colour but I wasn't sure. Maybe my next set of wheels.

I. CANNOT. WAIT.

Euronoob were gonna be twins! haha..except mine are replica and yours are legit :P

Anyways, I got some tires, made an appointment for alignment, camber kit installation and adjustment and all that jazz.
All I am waiting for is the wheels to get out the paint shop! Painter is hella busy though and said they will be done end of next week.

I was doing research though and I found that though the Toyo Proxes T1R that im buying are great for stretching, they are wider than true size. I really hope I get enough stretch though because I based my measurements off a true 225 tire.

We have a vendor on here named bluebatmobile, they sell vinyls, overlays and tints. I bought my headlight tint from them. Decent quality, it lasted me a few years. It comes out bigger than the actual size of the amber piece, so you need to do some trimming yourself. I also bought my yellow fog overlays from them but they were easily burnt by the head of the bulbs
