Here is a set of 20x9.5 +25 and 20x10.5 +25 TE37s on our GTR (sorry for the large picture):

As you can see, not much concavity. It uses an entirely different spoke design (and no stickers!

). For a 20" option, I would recommend the new Volk G2.

how was dealing with the tire pressure monitoring system when you put on the new wheels? did guys go get it fixed, or do you just ignore the tpms light on in your car?..lol

Mine is still on......gonna go back to Altered Atmosphere this Friday and hopefully they can marry up the new Volk's to the TPMS. If not, I'll be taking the Z to the dealer. I really want that light off, if at all possible.

its possible... you just need to make sure the right tpms is in the right location..when my rims were put in, there were no light problems.. so pretty much if they take off the right passenger stock rim, that tpms must go into the NEW right passenger rim.. make sense? The hard part now will be seeing which tpms goes into the right place

Tony that's a good point that I did not think of. Your tires are non directional meaning the left can go on right side and vise versa. When they arrived to Altered I don't believe they were labeled so it is very possible they could have been put on the "wrong" side (no fault of Altered as the tires are not directional)

So do you have them try to swap the tires? Just curious as I'll be doing the same.

Swapping the tires should fix the issue assuming the sensors were put in the correct wheels to begin with. If they were not it was our mistake and the sensors will have to be moved

We are usually pretty good at this stuff and don't run into this type of issue very often. I'll put little stickers on yours so you don't have the same issue.

Ryan@Forged · 08-04-2009, 11:51 AM

Also there is no telling which sensor is off. With that in mind if you switch the front wheels and it doesn't fit the issue, you will then have to switch the rears. If that doesn't work you have to switch the fronts back and leave the rears. Multiple sensors could be in the wrong location. Make sense?

Wow.....sounds like this won't be as quick and easy as I thought. Hopefully swapping the tires out will render the issue dead and that little triangle explanation point light will go off.

are these rims lighter than the stock 19 inch rims?

bmarcinczyk14 · 08-06-2009, 01:46 AM

since i might get these on a platinum graphite 370z, is there any way to get those volk stickers on the rim in white instead of blue?

As quoted by Ryan @ Forged earlier in this thread:

However, if the car had been red, it still would come with blue stickers. There is no option to get the wheels without the stickers. You have to remove the stickers if you don't want them on the wheel. This procedure is harder than it sounds. SAllen had to do this with the set he received from us.

They can be removed with some time and effort but I don't believe white was an optional sticker color unless you get them specially made. If I'm wrong, Ryan will let us know, I'm sure.

IMO, the TE37 20s don't look as great as the 19s
