So when you said it saved 10 lbs per corner you must have meant over solid-spoke turbo twists. I believe that hollow-spoke twists weigh 20 and 23 lbs, so your grand total weight savings would be 16 lbs compared to hollow-spoke twists (not 40 lbs).

sold my BBS -RS IIs and looking for a second wheel set. Anyone else running these TE37s? My car is slammed pretty low and I'm a bit concerned about the offsets. 5 mm out may make it tough to fit my current tire set up (MPSC 235 fr and 285 rears). What tires are you guys running on these wheels?

I have a set and run RS ride height/alignment with zero issues. These things are freakishly light, when I take them off and put them on my tire storage rack, I brace myself for the weight of "regular" wheels but it never comes. They are made beautifully too.

Chris, do you rub with your 18x11 59mm offset? Because you should. But if you don't, that's amazing!

Chris,

I'm amazed that you were able to squeeze 11" wheels in the back. However, from you're pick it is clear that your ride height must be at least 2" higher than mine. I can't even squeeze my pinky between the tire and the fender lip on the rears with my 285 MPSCs on BBS RS GT 18x10 ET65.

Jimmy,

What sideskirt is that on your car?
