Default Volk TE-37 Help Needed

I've been trying to figure out the differences between the TE-37's.

There are 2 styles which I've noticed.

The typical TE-37 most seen:





I'm sure all of you are familiar with that wheel...

But what about this style???




These are LE-37K's I think. But either way...

Are both styles availible in any size/color/bolt pattern?

I know there are wheel ****** that can shed some light on this.

Thanks.

Yes LE37s come in 4x100/5x114.3/etc. They come in 15-19" also. Color, le37s are gunmetal with the polished lip. However, I think it's 120 / set of wheels to get them custom colored.

Here's size/width for TE37

LE37T

Thanks for the help jef...

But I was really trying to figure out the difference between the spokes on the wheels. Notice how they are shaped differently...

Anyone?

Here is a better pic of the difference. Notice the bronze wheel vs. the other 2.

Someone's gotta know......

You can order custom offsets too. I believe that's what he did.

What do you mean a new spoke design? The bronze ones are kind of angled out because they are wider than the others.

Yup. I don't think it's a new style/old style thing. all the thinner wheels have the "square" spokes and the wider/huge offsets have the "triangular" spokes.

Ah just the info I was looking for.

So what if I want the "traingular" spokes? Is there a certain offset that is minimum for the traingular design?

Thanks everyone.

I don't know the "minimum" offset but just contact the guy with the ITR in the picture you posted. That seems to be not that different from the regular honda offset. You could just go extreme and slap spacers if need be.

I see the difference in the wheels your talking about. Have you tried contacting Mackin Industries?
