Pic Request...Volk TE37 in 16" and 17".

Hey everyone...I'm getting ready to order some TE37's for my DS/B R56. I can't decide whether to go with 16's or 17's. Please post some pics and advice on sizes. Thanks so much!

I would strongly sugest going to 15x5.5, in this size, they would weigh around 8 lbs each. Total cost should be around $1,300...I think, but I am paying when I can afford it. every size of these can be found here

Thanks for the responses...I'm prepared to pay the price for these wheels. I know that it will be worth it because they are the wheels I really want. Are there any pics of the wheels on an R56?

Haven't seen any on an R56 yet.

However, If you're just going for the look, you could get these in 18" and have them powder coated.

Call up Absolute Motoring (305.498.4969) and speak with Tomas, they usually have good pricing. Tell him Francisco referred you.

Those look really similar to the TE37's...I'm actually looking for either a 16" or 17". I'm not really a fan of 18's for the track. I actually would like to have these wheels for the track and the street so any advice on a good "overall" size would be appreciated.
