After waiting on these for nearly 7 months, they finally arrive straight from Mackin Industries in Japan... Well it got shipped to Turbo Evolution, then I picked both up today

Ooooh...I likey the covers.


The left Black ones were special ordered because of the color.
They are for my friends (98 (ITR) Theft Recovery) and the right ones are mine.








Did I mention how light they are?


Back in the boxes they go..





Wheels Specs:
Both wheels are 16x7.0, +42 offset, ~5.10kg (approx 11lbs) each!
GM ones are 4 lug for my car and BLK ones are 5 lug for my friends ITR.

To keep this tech-related, they won't go on my car until I buy new tires; currently in the market for some, any suggestions? I'm looking for good daily driving, all season tires.

That's all folks. Thanks for looking.
MODS: if you feel like moving this to the appearance forum, please don't hesitate to do so.

though i have gotten tired of those volks after seeing them on every other car...those blacks are bad ***. can i have them ?

 

nice wheels

 

Nice wheels.....lots of $$ in those pics.

 

dayum

 

Very nice....but betta watch out for pot holes. It's not hard to bend them

 

funny.. i was just looking at some black TE37's today. and now i see yours..
*faints*

 

mmm...how i wish i had the money for those.

 

nice rims -

 

Damn, those are some nice rims! Someone is ballin'

 

Seeing black Volks is what gave me the idea to do Custom black volks Sweet

As far as tires I put Es100's 205/45/16 on my 16x7 Volks, there good all around tires for the $$

 

VERY NICE

ain't nothin wrong w/ 'da rotas either, y0

 

quikB18B: How's the progress on your car?

As for tires, I was thinking of Yokohama Parada Spec-2's. But I will look into Es...


crawdad689: Rotas are meh to me...Their copy of the TEs just doesn't look right for some reason. And no its not because they lack the stickers.


I appreciate all the comments.

I believe the LE's have a polished lip to them.

I would recommend ES100's over Paradas. In Japan the Paradas are actually marketed as a "show" tire, if that tells you anything.

 

they look good man. i would suggest some Toyo Proxes4. I have those but in 205/50/15 and they are great in any weather. Haven't had a chance to test them in snow yet
