Size
18 X 9.5~10 front

Style
No knockoffs
No lip, no dish
Medium to light in weight, no heavy wheels
Concave face preferred
Would consider matte black or polished look
No crazy colors (green, pink, yellow, etc.)

TE37's are a timeless wheel. Can't go wrong there, IMO.

Strong, lightweight, and a high quality build. Can't say enough good about it. That and there are so many varieties of finishes.

Dang you're right. I was thinking I could always get them widened but that is a little too much widening for me to feel safe.

As expensive as some of these wheels are, you'd think they would allow you to custom order sizing options.

Like when I ordered my Super ADVAN Ver.2 they allowed me to pick any offset I wanted and some pretty good widths.

Buy them used and refinish them. Used TE's go for under 3k all day.

nah he said he wants concavity, that is not the wheel for that, they get there offset by the hub mounting point.

AFSil80
11-12-2008, 12:47 AM
They have a little bit of concave feature to it.

Not like the TE37 does, however.

I'm very happy with my current wheels (FN01R-C matte black 17X10 +12 all-around) even though they are the most common wheel and are cheap, but it's too bad that they don't make the 18" version as concave as their 17" (X 10.0 +12) version, which is the only thing stopping me from getting their 18" version.

get what you like not everyone else.

didnt read thread at all just posted. i make these threads ALOT but have stopped. just just do your thing. if NO one in the world likes it besides you so be it. as long has your happy. and save your money towards the parts you actually want, dont waste money on parts just to get buy. you could have used that money to get the better parts faster.... srry rant over but yea get what you like.

Yeah, if you read the thread you would know that I am not picking based on others opinions.

I'm not going to get green TE37's just because everyone around seems to like those. I think they are hideous. I'm not going to get pink, neon green, orange or other "trendy" colors just because everyone else likes it.

I was merely asking for suggestions on wheels that I can pick from, not have someone else pick.

I understand what you are saying but it is however an unnecessary posting.
