Next up in the race lineup is the Volk CE28N. Plus, Volk also offers a ton of different finishes, submodels, and even limited release colorways - all told, there's a TE37 for everyone.ĭesign Features and Specs of the Volk CE28N To hold that kind of stake in the industry after it's changed so much in that time is no small feat. You'll see the TE37 on show cars to track cars and everything in between, and it's hard to find a wheel that's been as popular in the last 25 years than this one. Not only does this six-spoke simple design look amazing on basically every car ever made, it's also loved for big brake clearances and forged construction, which keeps it super light. The first TE37 model ever made was a 15-inch wheel and weighed only 3.7 kilograms, which is where the name comes from. To rip off the band-aid, let's talk about some of Volk's most iconic wheels - we literally can't make a list like this without mentioning one of the most iconic aftermarket wheels on the planet, the Volk TE37. Let's not waste any time and jump into our list below!ĭesign Features and Specs of the Volk TE37 We're talking about the best Japanese wheels ever made. Today, though, we're jumping across the pond in the other direction to the land where everyone gets their overnight parts from - Japan. There are so many different wheels from all over the world, from monoblock to two-piece, three-piece, cast, directional, non-directional, the list goes on. For street use you might be ok… but I’d be cautious about running a track day at 10/10ths.What Are The Most Iconic Japanese Car Wheels? June 7, 2022 From 2 feet away the different isn’t noticeable- heck, I’d argue that it probably falls within the manufacturing tolerance of the wheel- but up close its a different story. A few forums have “done the math” and loaded up the differences on CAD. I have contemplated getting bearings drilled for 5x120 and dealing with simply redrilling the rotor hats when it’s time to replace, just to open up access to used BMW wheels.ĭo a search on running 5x120 on a 5x120.65 wheel. Kensal wheels or cosmos for a cheap set of street/drift wheels in a 10.5 would be nice. Some cheaper alternatives would be nice- while I would love a set of $3000 wheels, it’s hard to justify when they are going to be subject to track abuse. I’ve been looking for te37s in C5 sizes (preferably 18x10.5 all around)- but Rays stopped manufacturing in those sizes on a 5x120.65 bolt pattern. I remember when everyone on corvetteforums had to run CCW C14 wheels. I’m probably going to get downvoted to hell because I’m going against the grain and I’m not a fan of Forgestars or replica OE Corvette wheels.Ĭorvette wheels variety does suck.
Work Wheels also offer custom wheel specs and some of their designs are offered with an option to spec a 5x120.65 PCD. There are SO MANY BMW-spec TE37s for sale on BMW forums and marketplaces. Wheel sizes I’ve seen fit well under a widebody C6 are around 18x10 +20, 18x10.5 +25, 18x11 +30 (and obviously 19” wheels with same width) which are typical popular aftermarket BMW wheel specs. I’m open to being shown any evidence of failures based on using a 5x120 wheel on a 5x120.65 hub, but I just haven’t seen it documented anywhere. As far as wheel PCD that I know will fit and I have seen work without any failure, Camaro or BMW 5x120 DOES WORK. Aside from the high-end American-made motorsport wheels like Finspeed, CCW, Forgeline, I just don’t care for many of the typical designs of the popular lower- to mid-cost wheels that I see on many Corvettes. I had one of the first sets of Speedline Turini made in a 17x9 5x100 PCD for my Subaru BRZ. I also like seeing European wheels on Japanese cars. I love seeing high-end Japanese motorsport wheels on American and European cars. I’ve actually been on the lookout for a set of Volks or Advan wheels for my C6Z.
