you're missing the point of the te37's

the te37's aren't about looks (they're a decent looking wheel, but there are better) -- they're about being ultra-light (perhaps the lightest street-legal wheel in just about every size) and wicked strong.

imho, buying fake te37's is up there with buying hubcaps that have fake disc brakes on them -- sure, the look can be (somewhat) copied, but the performance can't.<p>--

Racing Hart CP035s are in the 7lb range in 15"

no....that's not a typo......I did mean to say 7lbs. Unfortunately, there is no 5X112 fitment. Designed for lightweight FWD cars like the Civics and Integras.<ul><li><a href="http://www.dazzmotorsports.com/wheel.asp?mkid=20&mdlid=113">http://www.dazzmotorsports.com/wheel.asp?mkid=20&mdlid=113</a</li></ul>

I checked on the avs 7.... no dice on the 5-112. In fact...

I found a BUNCH of tantrum lookalikes, and absolutely none of them make a 5-112, except the tantrum.

the search continues....

nice! how fragile are they though?

even if they were available in a 5x112 bolt pattern, i have a tough time imagining that they are very strong. hell, i worry about my te37's on the roads around boston all the time (so far, so good, but you never know).<p>--

Only problem with TE37 is finding a replacement if you damage one.

Its not impossible but you will have hell getting somebody to break a set of 4 for you to have one. I know a couple of people with that problem now, so they have 4 light weight paper weights. Cool wheels but sucks he can't put them back on his supra. He really needs the 285 width tires on his car badly.
