my experience goes like this. back in 1999 i bought a used set of Volk AV3 for my prelude. 19x8.5. i loved the wheels and had them for about a year.... then i had the opportunity to purchase the a set of original white TE-37s in the same wheel size as the AV3's. IT WAS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY!!!! the difference in steering feel and response was amazing!!! i could DEF feel the difference in the rotational mass.

Yeah, even a few lbs is noticeable but when you start dropping like 5 lbs on wheel weights, you can REALLY tell.

Vivid: Has Volk provided a wheel size/offset chart for the TE37C1's yet? What about weights for other sizes? 15.4lbs for 19x8.5 is great, now I want to know what 19x11's tip the scale at.

I am praying to the Rays/Volk Gods that they make a 19X10.5 +0 offset or a 19X11+5... If not I may be changing my screen name.... Joke

B that being said please don't make me spend 4000 on wheels to have to run a spacer in the rear to get the same aggressive look I had on my 350z with a 10.5+12 in the rear!

Are you referring to the factory RAYS? All the wheels in the thread are made by RAYS as well.
