Damn, those LE37Ts are beautiful. I bet they cost a pretty penny though, and I'd never ever be able to afford them.

Oh well,

Keep up the good work with your cars guys...they're looking better than ever.

When we put them on, she had a wheel gap of 3 fingers so we had to lower the car two notches on the GCs. The wheels look nice from behind because they give the car a more aggressive stance. You're speedometer will be off though.

People wanted to see what the LE37Ts looked on her car.

GCs. Jeff has Intrax.

Oops..... did I put Blitz? I mean GReddy.

Jesse did a good job recording the sound. He wasn't too close to the blow-off valve, so the camera picked up the sound a litter better. What you hear is still not the "true" sound.

If you *ahem* decided on a set of wheels (without changing your mind so many times), you could buy them too. Hehehe

Thanks. They are expensive, but if you save up a little at a time, it won't be as bad.

Both yours and Jane's cars look exceptional. I was going to order a set of SSR Competitions this week, but after seeing the LE37Ts on Jane's car I would like to know a little more about them. If you don't mind me asking, where did she order from, and how much did they cost? If you know the offset as well as the weight that would also be appreciated. Thanks.

Wow those look great... You should have taken more together pics though, and closer up.

Each set of wheels really compliments the car that rolls on them. Or should I say the car compliments the wheels?

If I hadn't bought my Racing Harts, those LE37Ts would definitely be near the top of my list... especially in that color. Girl got good taste.

We bought the wheels from Discount Tires. They gave us a discount on both sets.

Importhookup.com has a good deal going on: http://www.importhookup.com/wheelopt...ingspecial.htm

The LE37Ts should weigh about the same as the TE37s. Here's an excerpt straight from Mackin: "The weight of Volk Racing TE37 is 8 lbs. for 15 x 6.5 and 16 lbs. for 18 x 8.5. With this kind of lightness and durability, it is no surprise to see that this wheel is a very coveted wheel among enthusiasts."

Kev and Jane, Great set of wheels! Really adds that "racing" look to the cars! If I ever decide to get a second set of wheels, I would definitley get some Volks. Also, the LE37Ts come in silver also right? Congrats on the wheels and some great pictures for all of us to see!!

Looks to me like Jane is closer to the ground than Kevin...what's that all about?

Cars looks great side-by-side. Nice pictures.

That's because of the design of the 4th gen and 5th gen Stillen lip. Notice how the bottom of the 4th gen lip is parallel to the ground while the 5th gen lip slopes downward as you get closer to the center of the car? I'm about .5" lower than she is.

Thanks!

You can always shave off some extra weight with a Dremel.

Yeah... the wheels are indeed beautiful.

Unfortunately, I'm broke. DOH!

(which means I'm saving my pennies for a set of 16x7.5 Kosei K-1's, they're much closer to my budget! That and with autocrossing, I can more easily afford to shred a set of 16" tires every 6 months than I can a set of 18" tires )

Bah. Don't hit Kev's server for my pics. I'm leeching off www.expnet.net for my stuff...
