I've been trying everywhere to find the volks TE37 in 18x8.5 +40mm offset and it doesnt seem to exist. Do they even make that size?
I can only find 18x7.5 +48mm

Any link to somewhere i can find them?

they DO !!! hmm isnt +44mm going to rub either against the break or the suspension?

Cause i See everyone with the g games 77w running 18x8.5 +40mm

But if ur friend is running 18x8.5 +44mm and it works I guess i'm fine with that :P
can you ask him where he bought them? i cant seem to find them anywhere in that size

He is the dude that runs invision performance on this site. Be prepared to wait like 2-3 months to get them though. Just send him an instant message and he'll hook you up. Tell him Tuan sent you and he might give you a discount :)

visually is the difference between 7.5 and 8.5 noticeable ? does it make it more curvy ?

if you ahve the correct offset, it really doesn't matter. i do suggest 7.5-8 wide because you don't need the extra weight in material.

well the volks in 18x8.5 still only weight 16lbs which is still pretty light for a wheel that size...I wasnt wondering bout how the wheel would look on the car compared to the fender but more if the 1inch increase make the rim spokes more concave. I'll post pic of 2 TE37 with different offset and wide to show u guys what i mean

obviously i'm not expecting something as curvy but maybe something like this

or that wouldnt be possible with our small fender well ?

for the celica applications, it will be flat anyways. the only ones that will have a nice lip maybe some of the axis wheels.

The Volk Time Attacks are only available in 5x114 so it won't fit on our car.

I know the time attack doesnt come in 5x100 ...... I'm gonna resort to powdercoating :D
But even normal TE is hard to find ....anyhow where I live

you can order anyoffset and any bolt pattern though mackins
if you willing to wait

I ordred my Volks GT-S in 18x8 +35 5x100 in October 2006 finally getting them on March 26 2007

anything can be made if you call and talk to them
GT-S didnt come in 18" only 19" but I asked and they did it for me. they didnt even have to offset that I needed it cost me $2600

i personally dun like the te37 very much but the T/A versions do look damn nice. even then i dun think its worth the money and wait.

heres a replica of the TE T/A, doesnt look that bad and 1/3 of the cost haha
dun flame, just offering a alternative for people who likes the look but cant afford the real thing.
