Genuine TE37's 17x9" Dark Blue +6 Tyres.

17x9" TE37's that came on my car when I imported it from Japan in 2005. No they are not fakes, they're the real thing. Very light with Rays Engineering & Made In Japan stamped on the back and of course are very light.

Not too sure about the offset as the stickers are long gone but they are a pretty aggressive offset as per the pictures of them on my 32GTR. I don't know if they'll fit under your guards on your car.

Are a little blasted and also have some minor rash.

2 of them have RE540's 255 40 - bald.

Other 2 have new Michelin Drice 235 45 on them, also another two new Michelin tyres unfitted.

No centre caps.

Reason for sale : Have moved to wider TE37's.

Location : Hawthorn East, Melbourne. Will ship if buyer arranges courier.

$2000

If they are in fact 17x9, i'd put money on them being +22 or +15.

I was under the impression that R32s struggled a bit with +12 offset, but the owner did say they're quite aggressive at the moment.

wow just found this post again, from when I thought i'd sell these wheels.

Ends up they're 17x9 +0 (yes, 0 offset TE37's - they stick out further than my +12 9.5 TE37's). Long discontinued by Rays.
Glad I kept them. The call for another set of TE37's is strong. Anyway .....back to my beer.

youre a monster

yeah, I realised now I defiled them, seeing as they were Mag Blue.

I have plans on getting them professionally sprayed back to their original colour.

Sorry, I should have said "pretty much the same as" :D

I should also add that when Racepace took the front brake setup off to replace them,, they discovered a dodgy spacer setup (had some sort of Brembo setup when I got the car from Japan). Hence the front wheels now sit slightly more into the guards then in that photo.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
