Yep. the matte black finish looks even better in person.

We will definitely bring them in matte black.

All you need is some Volk stickers and all of a sudden we will have mucho TE's around. Any plans for a CE copy? If not, I'm sure rota will have one.

Rota does have a CE copy, but I think its only in subaru offsets, 17" and 18"

A quick poll on finish: Matte Black w/ polished lip or Gloss Black w/ polished lip

Your inputs are greatly appreciated.

dtm@heart · 04-28-2009, 01:55 PM

Flat black. This is a classic monobloc style, I think the polished lip ruins it. This would also be good in bronze.

blue92coupe · 04-29-2009, 10:13 PM

definitely matte/flat black

blueaudi18 · 04-29-2009, 10:55 PM

matte black only... no polished lip at all for me...

blueaudi18 · 04-29-2009, 10:56 PM

maybe a version with rivits?

GeekinE90 · 04-30-2009, 12:06 AM

The design just doesn't go with gloss black with polished lip. I think it'll look good in:

Matt Black
Gun Metal
White
Mercury Silver (my fav color see link below)

It's definitely a possibility. If there is enough interest we will bring them in 18s in the future.

The wheels are in production as we speak. They should be arriving in a couple of weeks.

Bronze or a Mercury Silver would be amazing!

These wheels look amazing by the way! I have been searching for a set of staggered wheels that resemble the TE37.

You've just found them

vortex_tuning · 05-13-2009, 01:29 PM

Latest update:

Front wheel 19x8.5: 25.5lbs
Rear wheel 19x9.5: 26.2lbs

They are very light for cast wheels! The weight optimization is not fully finished yet as we are still conducting extensive tests. There could be even more weight saving. We will update the thread as new results come in.

Dubbedoutbimmer · 05-15-2009, 02:58 AM

in my own polite opinion they don't look original enough to many like em

vortex_tuning · 05-15-2009, 11:10 AM

The final weight optimization numbers are in!

Front 19x8.5: 25.1 lbs
Rear 19x9.5: 25.8 lbs

Thanks to low pressure casting process we were able to further optimize the weight. These are lighter than most 19" cast wheels available on the market.

RynoDyno312 · 05-15-2009, 04:23 PM

Keep the black with the polished lip. I think it looks really nice and your pricing is definitely appealing.
