No more Te37 19"?

vividracing · 10-16-2013, 06:04 PM

TE37SL in 18" is a solid pound lighter than the standard TE37, powdercoat is your friend, the SL is cheaper and lighter and planning on being around for a while. If you found one last magical set we'd be talking you down off the ledge the moment one gets curbed.

First iv heard of this.. guess im glad I grabbed mine when I did. I dont care how many people say they are played out, I love my TE37s!

Grindkiezer · 10-16-2013, 09:09 PM

I'm thinking of just going with SLs even if I may have to powder coat them. I thought about it and I guess I'd rather have a back up just in case something ever were to happen to my wheels. Knock on wood. But knowing if anything happens you don't have a replacement has got to be nervewracking. It sucks that I have to go with something that isn't my ideal setup but oh well, shìt happens. I'll let you guys all know tomorrow what I end up doing, the shop I'm thinking about going through is getting an estimate on custom color and everything so that I may not have to do it myself.

So what exactly don't you like about the SLs? The finish? I think they'll look great on your Z.

I was just going to ask the same thing, my set should be here by the end of the month.

I think if you get a customized blue sticker or something, it would look great.

The SLs have a unique look to them, no second guesses of you rocking replicas either.

Only difference I know is that SLs don't have optional center caps, which to some people matter.

They're meant to be used for the track, besides you can get adaptors.

Grindkiezer · 10-17-2013, 02:14 AM

I think that the Sls have a more concave look to them, even though it's subtle I notice it. Also the bends on the spokes on the Sls seem to be more rounded where the forged ones seem "sharper". I know that they're minor differences, but when putting down the money for wheels it's nice to get what you want

I'd be happy with either set, as long as I can get the set up I like. And I'm one of those people where no center cap bothers me

The Pressed Graphite TE37SLs look great. But if ever purchase a set, I'd prefer the simpler gunmetal/darker silver finish; similar to the '13 OEM Z34 wheels. Center caps and adapters are also a must.

The matte black SLs look great. I didn't even like matte black wheels before getting mine. in person they are stunning. the two below are both +12s. the +22s are less concave.

And center cap adapters are available so you can run any Volk center cap you want.

yea, the matte black FTW! i love mine!
