I currently have 15x6.5 Mugen NR mirror faces on fresh (90%) Falken Ziexs.
1 has a nice curb rash.
I have a trade offer for some white 16x7 TE37s.

I currently don't have pictures of his, but I can tell you about them in detail since I just saw them 30 minutes ago.

2 are fresh.
1 has been repaired twice. The first repair is straight, but the 2nd one, he says is no longer bent (he hit a pothole in jersey and it bent) but I can still see it where it has a bent look and its not painted in that spot (roughly 2" x 6")
The other one is straight, its just chipping paint.
Tires are not Goodyear but a company that is part of Goodyear, they are w rated and have about 75% left. 205/45 Very little camber wear on 2.

Mine can be seen here:

 

you're missing two lug nuts.

 

NR's dude. EVERYONE has TE's

not hatin just helpin<3

 

Thanks. 1 is just not installed and the other one is a broken stud. Thanks for noticing.

 

considering everything is safe to roll on and the rims hold air....id take te's all day over those nr's

te resell value > nr's

anyday.

 

I would go with te's too.
I never liked those mugens, they look so cheap.

 

i say go with volks some pics to maybe help with your decision

 

Thats EXACTLY what I was thinking but others don't have the same idea. We are switching wheels on Friday to see what they look like on each others cars. I'll take some pictures.

But yes, he is still riding on the wheels, they hold air just fine.

& ****, looking at those pictures side by side, I seriously have NO IDEA what to pick. They both are sexy in my opinion.

 

I got rid of my TE-37s, which you saw. Way too popular IMO.

 

exactly what I say to everyone who wants them

 

But...... Like Oppossum said, they are worth more than the Mugens. Main reason for even thinking about trading.

 

TE's seem to popular/played out man..

 

seems to me like you care more about re-selling the rims rather then sport them on your car. why not rock something that actually you like rather then thinking about the money aspect of it? no one said modifying cars is cheap (if done the right way) but more then anything as of late i see guys just rocking something (even if its ugly) just cause it has better resale value.

 

You're right, I am looking at the resale value of them mainly. I want to work my way up to some baller wheels and something I really like. I like the white TEs and will rock them. Don't think different.

 

about resale value

i sold my volks with caps 16 pretty clean for - 1000 no one wanted to buy them were for sale for like 9 monts

i sold my mugen nr for - 1500 had them for sale for about 5 months

 

Weird

 

I've had at least one set of each manufacturer. Granted the Mugens were MR5s, but still. Got rid of those for CE28Ns, and picked up the red TEs you saw. I'm back on the CE28Ns, as those are the wheels I prefer.

Pick which ones suit you, however with 15"s you'll be able to run DRs up front without too much trouble. 16" DRs are big, man.

 

NR's for sure ! Not knocking the other set ... just tired of painted wheels ! Plus 15 are the way to go !

 

That's factory paint.

 

Wow, after seeing full pics of the nr's on the car, i'd definitely say go with the te's

 

nr's, would have them on my em1 if I could afford them, but like somebody said you should go in the direction that is gonna benefit you whether it be profit or just what you like.

 

imo, i would do it for the $$ factor, but the te37's are played out, but you could always just sell the te's when you get tired of them..

again imo the NR's look better on a EPB EM1

 

and that's exactly what it is: an opinion... and there has been enough in here for the op to decide on his own now..
