Gawd those are sexy. Can't wait to see them on the NSX!

You really can't go wrong with TE-37s. One of the best looking aftermarket wheels out right now

Probably not until June maybe (since I've only driven on the advans a few times). FYI, the finish is Formula Silver. Only set in NSX fitment in the country with this finish.

Great wheels but they can't compare to the GT-Vs, one of my personal all time favorites!

GT-Vs aren't as easy to pull off, and yet they still looked perfect on the Imola.

Got rid of the GTV's for a few reasons:

-played out on NSX's .
-did not clear BBK.
-Oh, and they have now been discontinued.. apparently did not sell well (except for NSX's).

Plan on keeping advans for some variety. May dump them next year for some weds I've been eying.

^ I think that will clash. I'm going to change it to black though although the blue lettering is considered "classic."

Can't wait to see pics of these mounted. They are probably my favorite wheel because of their simplicity.

I forgot about the BBK you have waiting to go on. Can't wait to see those behind these new wheels.

Those will look nice on the NSX. We need someone with Photoshop skills to give us an advanced look!

^ GTV's are gone. Teaser chop of TE's on an NSX. But keep mind this is mercury silver, chopped to make it slightly darker:

Sizes: 18×7.5 (+30) (front) & 19×9.5 (+34) (rear). Plan on going with a 5mm spacer in the rear to essentially be at +29. I found that +29 on a 9.5″ width wheel should give me a very flush setup. I'm at the LIMIT in the front.

Sick, welcome to the TE37 club . Whatever you do kindly refrain from getting fancy center caps the only ones, IMO, that look best on the TEs are the flat type A ones .

meh. I hate those flat ones. I'm dumping my GT series caps, but looking for Version II - GT Series. Looks good with formula silver. Actually, my first choice would be the caps that come with the G2's, but they don't sell them separately.
