Anyone running Volk TE37s on their 944?
As the title states. I am curious anyone has any experience with these wheels. Please share any input. Thanks.

No experience on a 944, but two of my friends have them on a WRX and a RSX Type-S. Impressively light wheels. My friends 17x8 with a 235 width tire weighed the same, if not less than my 16x8 C2 5-spokes with a 225 width tire. One of them did dent a wheel, but this was in a construction area with the pavement torn up...leaving a 3-4 inch sewer lid sticking up over the pavement.
The only downside is the cost of them for the 5x130 bolt pattern and the relatively limited sizes available (ive only seen them available in 18''+ in 5x130). You can probably get a full set for a bit over $2000. In that range you can pick up a set of CCW's (or other custom wheel) in a much larger selection of sizes. Basically if your interested in them for looks, they would be just about perfect i think. If your looking for a track wheel, there are probably better options open.
