Great looking wheels! Does anyone have more pictures of this!?

As a side note, how come when I use the search, it seems like "quotation marks" cannot be used to specify a phrase that I'm searching for? It's really annoying!

I checked the link on this thread (it's 3 years old) and looks like this place GMP performance no longer carries the wheels for our cars... oh no!!! Does anyone have a recent source/price for TE37's? I have wanted these wheels for a long time, but couldn't justify putting on wheels on my Miata that were worth more than the car...

Cupcar, thanks very much. Do you own these wheels? How are they in terms of reliability? I love how they look on the 964 - really updates the look of the car. And I know these wheels are super light and look to be cheaper than BBS LM's.

I have the OEM Nismo "Rays Wheels" on my 350 Z and they are superb quality. They came with beautifully machined alloy valve stems.

Looks like tire rack has Volks in 18X8.5 49mm and 18X10 49mm for the 03 Boxster application.... they should fit the 964..

Give me a call if I can help. We do carry the wheel.

Damon, I called Tirerack, and someone I talked to (not you) totally turned me off. He said they weren't showing up for the 964 because they didn't fit, and they must not be engineered for my car, and not to try putting it on, even with spacers. I found that odd, but honest.

a little cheaper than the CCW C14 which is about the same weight and also forged http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelpr...del.php?id=c14
&
not sure on the look of the TE37 however - but the weight is right

Kavo, these wheels look a little like my Veloce GT's but have one spoke too many:;

Those are a good alternative as the Veloce's are no longer made IIRC, and although they are a little heavier they are pretty damn light and look great...! Would it be crass to ask the price...?

Christer - they were about $2,400 usd shipped to my door.

Cupcar#12 - I like the CCW wheel as well. They are not as nicely finished as the Volks and have a lot of sharp edges that I'm surprise they don't clean up before shipping them out. If you damage one you may be able to get a replacement faster though.

Volk wheels are very high quality and are very smooth. The finish makes them very easy to clean. My wheels have 4 - 5 years of track use and still look great. They are still straight and true and that's more than I can say for the three peace wheels that I mount tires on. The only marks on them are from other guys mounting tires. That's why I bought my own tire machine and balancer.

Check out the video of how they are made:

Volks wheels are again available at GMP as of a week ago. They were some issues with supply from Volks. They are a special order wheel and can take 90 days to get in.

Great wheels. I have used both them and the nismo wheels on several cars. Exceptionally light. I have personally been considering the Enkeis, but have to get past the 18" wheel issue since my car does not have the better uprights
