Summer Rims

[MattD]

Hey All

Just wondering what everyone is running for summer rims. I am thinkg of some new ones for the summer. I think I want some lightweight ones most likely 17\'s and i am thinking around 15 to 17 lbs. Just wondering what everyone has and maybe if anyone has some prices. I love the Volks Rays engineering ones, but i am skeptical on the prices. Let me know.

If you were to refinish this guys, you can have a new set of TE37\'s for cheap. I got a set of gramlights with that offset and they fit no problem with 215/45/17. Running 225/45/17 might be to wide for a wheel with that offset though.

there\'s actually a set of 17x7.5\" Volk TE37\'s (Rays Engineering) rims for sale on toprotege.com right now for a REALLY good price. Take them for a refinish / powdercoat and they will look awesome. Plust they\'re forged and are therefor good strong, lightweight rims. It\'s a killer price for someone that\'s not too lazy to take them for a re-finishing.

BTW - the seller is a long-time trusted member of toprotege as well, so it\'s not some guy that\'s just spamming our board with rims for sale.

The thread is here if anyone\'s interested:

Are you going racing? Why do you want 15lb rims? Lots of $$$$$$$$$!!! A nice pothole while set ya back even more $$$$$$$$$.
Look around and see what you like. And if they are not 15lbs.. so what, if they look great on your car, that\'s all that matters. And of course BUY them at Tires23.:D

I picked up 18\"\'s from Tires23. They setup weighs one pound more than stock.

what colour is your car?

I am not a fan of thin spokes.. I like the meaty 6 / 7 spokers.:)

titanium grey

I was looking ADR rims last year, too. but at that time ADR didn\'t have the offset fit our car and almost the same price w/ Enkei, so I bought Enkei instead.

A 40mm offset will work with our cars, Thats what I gots :)

John, your not getting no rubbing at all with a 40MM offset and having a lowered car?
a few places told me with a tein stech drop to stay away from anything under 45...

[midnightfxgt]

Nt a single issue bro. I love them, they line up in the wheel wells nice. Dropped about 1.5-1.75\" and on those wheels, and stock tires, with no issues. Its close, but no rubbing to this date. :)
