DEEDUBBS New Wheels =)
 
After 5 nail biting months my long awaited wheels finally came in. As of right now these are the only set of VOLK TE-37's in this size/ color on U.S. soil (shameless originality plug) :bowdown: . I chose to wrap the rims with Toyo T1R's. I had to get the fenders rolled only in the rear for the wheels to fit. The fronts are 19X8.5 and the rears are 19X9.5. You can see the size of the tires on one of the pictures below. I'm still waiting on my matching flat center caps and my black short lug nuts. Enjoy the pix!

Special thanks to Mackin, Options Auto Salon, and Status Auto Design for the fender rolling.

Renesis_8 04-22-2006 11:02 PM

Sexy and CLEAN!! Personally i think it'd look better if you lose the "powered by HKS" on the front windshield, but wow, i love those wheels and the hood!! nice car!

x-ped 04-22-2006 11:06 PM

Total hotness....hmmm I think those would look better on my black eight :p:

FE3P 04-22-2006 11:20 PM

THAT CAR LOOKS AWESOME!!! :rock: The wheels fill the fenders perfectly!

Nice pics too! :)

ELITE-RX8 04-22-2006 11:21 PM

Nice man.

Can you tell me whats the offset on them??

zaglo6204 04-22-2006 11:22 PM

yeah, uhhhhh, so I'm here from the Rays Inspection Department...
it seems that after we passed them on to the Distribution Center, a test came back positive for defects that I cannot elaborate on in public.
please PM me for a return address so we can take, errr, fix them ASAP.

BIU 04-22-2006 11:25 PM

lesper4 04-22-2006 11:30 PM

nice rubber and nice wheels, not a fan of the color but all in all it looks good.

\\Konig\\ 04-23-2006 12:03 AM

NICE!! Like the wheels a lot, and the black and red theme looks really good too.

Good job man.

IZoomZoomI 04-23-2006 12:46 AM

drool... looks great! what are the offsets? And also weight?

and then you woke up..hahah j/k nice try though!

BigOLundh 04-23-2006 01:02 AM

I Like, I Like!!!

XDEEDUBBX 04-23-2006 01:04 AM

These are the offsets: 19x8.5 +30 and 19x9.5 +34. I believe the wheels weigh about 19lbs. The grip is awsome.

IZoomZoomI 04-23-2006 02:02 AM

dam +30 in front looks perfect.

XDEEDUBBX 04-23-2006 02:05 AM

thanks zoom, thats about as far as you can go without having to add more camber.the ings rx8 has a 22 offset..too crazy 4 me!

XDEEDUBBX 04-23-2006 02:08 AM

thanks konig! =)

Fiveohmike 04-23-2006 02:34 AM

Sweet ride man!

Whats the offest on those 19x9.5's?

Im looking at 19x9.5's and im unsure if they will rub the fender.

ELITE-RX8 04-23-2006 02:52 AM

That is what i am worry now. I bought 22 for front.

And not sure if it will rub.............

BRGREEN8 04-23-2006 02:55 AM

i already told you on aim n ill say it here again. those rims really compliment your CF hood. or maybe its the other way around ??? :mdrmed:

cleoent 04-23-2006 02:58 AM

if u run a +22 u will have to run an agressive camber setup...say good bye to your tires..

Welcome to the fatty (tires that is) club !

mikeb 04-23-2006 03:20 AM

Bart! 04-23-2006 06:37 AM

I need these gorgous pictures emailed to me: foof@bartmatusiak.com. Original wallpaper size please :]

yiksing 04-23-2006 06:48 AM

Do you suffer from understeer?

XDEEDUBBX 04-23-2006 09:44 AM


Welcome to the fatty (tires that is) club !
Isn't it about time! hahaha


clean ride
clean as hell

i've felt like that for the longest time, it just took me a while to find the right wheel as well as the right size


Do you suffer from understeer?
Haven't really done any aggressive drivng "yet", but under normal driving conditions it is pretty much the same. These tires are really quiet as well. There is also less of a tendency for the tires to break loose when unwanted.

ELITE-RX8 04-23-2006 10:22 AM

hey how wide is your tyre for the front wheels?

R888 04-23-2006 10:26 AM

ANY SPEC FOR YOUR WHEELS?

BTW, U brought comfort to my eyes but u took jealousy out from my heart.

Dam u

RA-Eight 04-23-2006 10:32 AM

I wish! Funny thing is when I ordered these wheels the new line of volk wheels were released a week later. I had these custom powder coated from the factory. I wasn't too fond of the white or bronze color they typically come in.

ELITE-RX8 04-23-2006 10:56 AM

Does it rub at all the front and the back?

I older my for nearly half year now. still making.

i think because the colour of 2003 limited.......

Taking so long......

ELITE-RX8 04-23-2006 10:57 AM

Love the high of you car man. the gap between the tyres and the car just nice..... very nice

canaryrx8 04-23-2006 11:54 AM

nice work, looks killer, even without tint :)

RL8 04-23-2006 07:26 PM

Nice set up! I'm planning to do my rear fenders too, did Status got the job done right? How much did they charge you?

lazi 04-23-2006 09:22 PM

jrb_dakine 04-23-2006 09:50 PM

Hey Bryan, your ride is very NICE............ Great choice in rims, especially the COLOR....... Can't wait till the next meet so all of us can hook up again.

when i first got them on the rears did rub. but i went with a max fender roll/cut and now there is no problem. The fronts barely rubb the in the inside but only happens when the wheel is completely turned.

status did an excellent job on the fenders. They are a very reputable company, they typicaly work on porsche, ferrari, M3's etc so I would say they know what they are doing.

A friend of a friend hooked me up with status so I don't have a definet price on fender rolling. But expect to pay anywhere from 80-100 bucks..

XDEEDUBBX 04-24-2006 12:42 AM

thanks sam and JR. I am very happy with my newest purchase. Definetly worth the wait! Can't wait till the next meet.
