Different Types Of Te37's?

[Braddd]

In heaps of mags and sites I see cars with rays te37's on them some have big dish and some dont, regardless of their offset?? im confused, can anyone explain? below are the two examples of what im talking about... the purple R34 has the dish wheels and the s14 does not... forgive me if this is a stupid question...which im sure it is...

They look pretty dam similar to me but i'd say its because of the Width

The GTR having a wider set of TE37's so the dish can be made bigger.

Width

isnt it offset?

you could have a 11" width wheel and have +50 offset and it would look the same as a 7" width with +11 offset

In those pictures it looks as if the GT-R has 19's and the S14 has 18's. The new 19 inch TE's have the outer dish on them, whereas the 18 inch and below do not.

I think the 19s are not as concaved as the 18s

[kb-r33]

one has 19 and one has 18.. look similiar abit..

it's a combination of all of the above, diamter, width and offset and what they call 'face' too. they make different wheels for different models and change the curve of the spokes and how the spoke meets the rim to get the look they want.

explain this then, these te37's seem to have little concavity indicating a 'weak' offset but still have huge dish...

did you read my post? like I said it's a combination of things. they can make them look however they want. and offset has nothing to do with the curve of the spoke. offset is the position of the rim over the centre of the hub. so the spokes could attach to the bloody inside of the rim if you wanted and you could have giant dish and still have a 'tough' offset of say +12. or you could have the spokes attached to the outside of the rim and have an offset of +45. maybe learn a little about how wheels are made and measured using good or wiki or whatever and you will understand.

i though a had a good grasp on wheels but obviously there is a shitload of variations...

My post was based on the OP saying they were both the same offset...

[evilGTR]

if i was to go for that sort of effect like on the r34 that was posted what would be the best suited for an r33 gtr width and offset wize

They dont actually look like Rays wheels rather Ravs wheels-I may be wrong but they aren't true Rays Engineering Volk Te37 wheels

No they're legit, but as said difference is they're 19's on the R34 & 18's on the S15.

If they were rav's they'd be 19x7.5" & flat...
