Volk TE37 To Purchase

I am looking forward to purchase a set of VOLK TE37! Man, I love these wheels alot!!!!

Anyways, I have a 2004 BB 6MT, I was either going for a Gold or D. Black (most likely the black) ~ http://www.speedaction.net/road-wheels-volk-racing.html

XDEEDUBBX's wheels are sick as hell ~
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/deedubbs-new-wheels-%3D-88173/

I was planning to purchase a full set of TE37 19 X 8.5 or TE37 19 X 9.5, am not looking for a staggered look. Its either TE37 19 X 8.5 all around or TE37 19 X 9.5 all around. But I dont know which offset willl work for either set. So offset 43+/44+ will fit for both all around without rubbing even lowered with tein s-tech and A full blown KD-IV Burnout body kit ~ http://www.memoryfab.com/aero/car/?id=13

Any imput would be much appreciated! Also, If anyone knows where I can purchase the wheels and KD-IV Burnout body kit for some good or even beat the prices; other than the site above mentioned will also be much appreciated.

Thanks!

yeah! go gunmetal or gold... bronze is ugly.

The 8.5 all around should be fine with the +43 offset without experiencing any rubbing on the fenders. Not sure about the 9.5 for the front though. But the 9.5 all around will give you a nice lip in the front.

haha... what up DEEDUBB!

I personally would love to see how those black te37s would look on a bb car. Mean as hell is my guess. What kind of price is he looking at for 19"s? What about for 18"s?

if he decides to go with 19's in black along with tires, he's looking at almost 4k. I forgot to mention that all volk wheels went up an extra 50 bucks a wheel.

this is going by retail price.

According to speedaction motorsports a set of 19x8.5 43+ would cost $2,653.00 set. With tires probably below $4000.00. XDEEDUBBX or WORM or Anyone, may I know where you purchased your wheels at, and how much did you get yours with the total set-up tires packaged all together?


Even worm's tight as hell too. Seems like XDEEDUBBX and WORM's car are like brothers. You both should get together and picture your RX8 together.

Can every TE37 or VOLKs in general runner list their prices and how much you all bought your set-up package(wheels/tires)? List the site or areas purchased. Thanks!

It depends on what kind of tires you get, but $3500 for wheels and tires should be about average.

So, the thick question is will VOLK TE37 19x9.5 45+ fit the RX8 all-around with tires 275/40/19 or 275/30/19? Thank You everyone who has given me some feedbacks!

i think at +45 you will be safe. There are some people out there running 10 inches all around. It also depends on how much you plan on lowering your car.

I plan to lower it with the Tein S-Tech Springs for now, just a tinsy mild drop to cover out the wide gap and accept the 19's. Because in chicago, we have a lot of f*@k-up roads. Other than that a good set of wide tires are head turners too. So this is my primary objective for this summer or next summer since the wheels I want are most likely to be in backorder specially the D-black ones.

By next summer or so I plan to buy a turbo kit for the 8(most likely if I have the funds). Just got the 2004 ~ 8 a couple of weeks ago with my 2004 ~ 3 trade-in, so am trying to keep it stock street for now with basic bolt-ons to actully get the 238whp whereas with 197whp I have now from a 6MT.

Anyways, I am wanting to get the 19x9.5 if it works well with the tires(with good clearance from inside the fender well and suspension and such) and if not I have recieved some inputs from other driver that 19x8.5 will work for sure.

I know this is going and going but just want to make sure from others out there that if 19x9.5 is possible all-around with our 8's. Thank you!

Just to let you know it will take some time for those bad boys to get here. It took 5 months for mine to get here. Kel RX has 20X9 and 20x10 and fit fine with tein springs..
