Volk sent me the pics, but I'm assuming that Nextmod took them.

Not sure on that yet. I'll update this thread when I have that info.

The difference in the unsprung weight is insane, I have had 3 sets of TE/LE 37s and for some reason the simplicity of the wheel yet the concave spokes with a good sized lip looks beautiful to me....

Thanks for posting the numbers. I agree, unsprung weight is an area that can make a HUGE difference in how a car feels. Also, braking is effected dramatically by heavier wheels.

Out of everything on my car, including the Z, they probaly have the best depreciation rate.
