BLUE TE-37's . WHAT !?
#41
Saw the title and was like "damn, somebody got the mags?!" haha. Looks like there would be a little too much blue going on if you actually got it.
So FOR THE RECORD, unless already been discusssed. A 19in GT-7 in a +38 DOES NOT CLEAR THE BREMBO's lol ..
I'm pretty sure 19 +38 will clear if the disk is correct.

My dad had a '03 CLS, an '06 TL, and now a '07 TLS and when i was in the market for a new car I was considering a TSX but ended up with an '07 Si Coupe so i just lurk around.
And as for the TE37's there are two different versions. One which is still a normal forged aluminum TE37 in a limited edition Magnesium Blue color.
The other is a uber rare and super expensive TE37 Mag, which is made of magnesium and are easily recognized by casting marks on the center hub portion of the wheel.
Also, the way the spokes join with the perimeter of the wheel is different. The Magnesium wheel spokes flare out significantly towards the rim of the wheel. As opposed to the regular TE37s which do not.
Look at where the spokes meet the rim, the magnesium wheels have a wider taper of the spokes when they meet the rim surface. As opposed to the regular TE37s which do not do this.

^^ real magnesiums ^^
Notice how the ends of the spoke flare when meeting the surface of the rim.

^^ blue mag color TE37s ^^
On the regular TE37s the ends of the spokes to not flare out as aggressively as the real magnesiums
Hope that clears it up for you.
CLIFF NOTES: They Offer Magnesium Blue as a custom color option for both there TE37 and CE28.
Although the Magnesium Blue is a rare color and looks nice I wouldn't put it on a blue car. If you want a blue wheel I would probably just buy a regular set of TE37's in any non custom color in the size you want and then have them painted to match your car.

You mean dont post ever
till now .. I was never confused to be cleared up, but for everyone else, sure ha
. Thats what I just said, just not so detailed ha
.. I work for a primarily import Performance Shop, so I know quite a bit about the products
. My boss has been to SEMA the past 7 yrs I think.. Thats exactly what I would do tho. Get the cheapest color, or whatever I could find used, since Id be refinishing them anyway I dont care if they are used.. But wait, I didnt know you could get the regular TE's in that blue mag color from Rays ? I havent called em to talk about it, but Im sure they would paint a wheel if I asked em & payed for it
.. I'd have that shit painted myself tho. Could get it done for just price of materials..

But I agree, refinish a used set or buy the cheapest new set possible.
Here is an example of what can be done with a beat up used set and a respray.
Here is how they looked BEFORE.

This is how they looked when they came back from the shop
