19555, Volk TE37's Posted by Dinkjs, Aug-25-03 03:58 PM
What do you think about those on the Eclipse.....yes we all know there beautiful rims....but what about on our car.....I was thinking 17 inch with atleast a 40 off set in black....my eclipse is the maroon color....of course some will say "why not spend that kind of money on a turbo or rebuild the engine" blah blah blah...I would if that was my goal....but I am thinking in terms of handling now and unsprung weight...so over all do you all think the TE37'S would like good on our body style??????????

They are great rims and look even better on an eclipse imo. I have seen a few pairs in person and want a set of 18's for my eclipse.

IMHO...I would not get the TE37's. Yeah they are probably the best looking wheel on the market and have been for a long time. But these are not an everyday driving wheel by any means. They cost of the wheel itself is rediculous and can you image bending one on a pothole or curbing one as you are leaving the bank ect...
If you want a lightweight wheel get some ROTA's or even some OZ Superleggras. At least these wheels are affordable can are not gonna cost you an arm and a leg should one need to be replaced.
But as far as the style and how they look on Eclipses.....they are by far my most favorite wheel. Good Luck.

Man I just realized how screwed up the sentece is...oh well. Its early. I have full coverage as well, but they don't replace aftermarket wheels.

Based solely on looks and not economics, I think they would look great.
