Those wheels are sick, and would look absolutely amazing in white on my car.
Hmm, how cheap are they?
Check out those gunmetal PMu's. Sick!

Yes D,
These wheels are the are pure heat. Price? Cheap. For you, cheaper. Getting the price sheet in a few hours, will PM you with a price shortly thereafter.
Two things...
What kinda sizing you thinking? 18 I assume...
Also these are a brand new wheel, so the wait for these will be longer than usual, however, you can be the first to have them state side. Gotta start the new season with the freshest wheels from j-town.

True. What offsets do they come in with a 18x8.5?

Yeah, you are 5x100, so you have limited fitment. And by limited I mean 18x8.5 +45 is pretty much your only good option.

Damn, I was hoping for high 30's or really low 40's.
Mac, does Volk offer white TE37's in 18x8.5 for a 5x100? I mean IF I decide to switch up again before next season, whatever I get must clear a project mu 355mm bbk. lol

good lookin wheels, how much different are they from the CE28N or whatever that model is called?
and D, please measure your rotors for me... they are huge, but i dont believe they are 355mm.

Yeah, the 5x100 is tough on fitment. You could run like a 5-7mm spacer and rock em.
TE's don't come in 18x8.5 with a 5x100 PCD, only 5x114.3. Lameville. Might be able to do a custom PCD but I will have to make a call to be sure.
I would say the 57 Maximum would be a good option if you are looking for that TE37 feel. That is a new wheel as well, not too many in the states yet, but they suffer the same fitment issues as the Optimise.

Lemme know if you want em to check into the cost of a custom PCD for the TE37s and I will do so.

I like to think of the Gram Light line as similar to Works Emotion line, a cheaper high quality wheel option. Rays has released a few Gram Lights recently that look very similar to wheels they have in their Volk Catalog. Maximum = TE37. Optimise = CE28N.
Here are a few key differences...
Cast vs. Forged - The CE28N is forged, the Optimise/Maximum is cast (Gram Light actually doesn't offer many forged wheels).
Price - The CE28N is like $720/wheel retail, the Optimise/Maximum is like $460 retail, so big price jump. PM me for non-retail pricing.
Weight - The CE28N is crazy light, the Optimise/Maximum is light, but not as light as the CE28N.

Project Mu only offers a 345mm and 355mm bbk. lol
Mine are bigger than anyone else's which means they are not the 345's. If you need pics, I can show you.
and yes, I measured them, they are just over 14 inches.
