Default ****Gloss Black TE37's with tires***

THE GOOD:
I have a full set of real volk te37's. They are 17x7.5 with a +40 offset...4x100. These are REAL volk wheels, not a cheap rota knock off. They only weight 15.75 pounds per wheel. They were original white but I had them professionaly powdercoated gloss black. The tires are kumho ecsta mx's 215/45/17. Two of the tires have about 50% tread left but the other two are bald.

THE BAD:
A couple rims had a little bit of curd rash but I've touched them up with some black touch up paint. One of the wheels is missing a 'rays' sticker but that can easily be bought on ebay for a couple of dollars. Also one of the valve stem caps is missing.

THE UGLY:
One wheel has some pretty bad stains on it due to a can of fix-a-flat exploding on it(don't ever buy fix-a-flat!). I have tried to clean it with some regular meguiars wheel cleaner but I haven't had much luck. That is the only thing I've tried though...there could be a kind of polish or stain remover available that might work better.


Make me a offer!!! I need money bad.

^^thanks man ...yeah, damaged fix-a-flat can...called fix-a-flat and they wouldn't even refund me my $ for the $5 can ...horrid customer service and shitty products. All they said was 'some cans get damaged during shipping'

Hey man go to your local auto paint dealership.. and pick up a can of "reducer" it will take that crap right off.. just do EXACTLY as the bottle says..
I had a can of high temp paint explode on my fresh paintjob, took that **** right off..
Oh and not to hate... but I think my "cheap rotas" look just as good as these rims..

the rota's may "look" the same, until you put them side by side.... a world of differences in finish, quality, weight, etc..

nice volks

Im sure there is a difference in quality.. and possibly in weight. However the they are both NOT the stock finish... so they could be similar.. I am no ANTI volk's or anything like that believe me if I had the money Id rather have black volks..
But in my honest opinion... Id rather spend the 700 I spent on my rims and save 400 towards my motor.. let alone I dont believe this color is made for the te37 as well as the rotas..
