Globe have you decided yet?

Yah Gonna start saving after I get my grill painted nextweek or so.
The one I want won't look good on your car tho..... it's gunmetal color with polished lip mesh style. "RAYS engineering VolkRacing" it's pretty obvious what I'm talkin about Manaray can you guess?

Well are you going to do 8.5 F and 9.5 R? You can't do 9.5 all the way around...you'll hit in front...depending on what width you decide on will determine your offset.
I have a +37 (8.5" wide) in front and a +38 (9.5" wide) in back. My wheels sit right at the edge w/o rubbing. I didn't require any fenderbending and the only rub I have is some minor rubbing on the fender lining (because with 20's, the overall diameter is larger than stock...with 19's you should have ANY rubbing)
As for 18" vs. 19" - Well I don't know who told you that, but ...if you look at some of the touring races, you'll see that cars do run 19's. I run 20's and I spank ricers all the time in my GS...if you're a good enough driver to be able to tell the difference between the handling quality of a 18" and 19" rim, I'd say you should go pro!
Trust me, do the 19's...you have a better look and your car will handle just fine.
With the H&R and Bilstein combo, 19" will look perfect...
Globe - The series wouldn't start with LE37 would it?

Any opinions on them? The K. Gunmetal mesh/polished lip looks GREAT on silver Supra and Silver 300ZX, should be dope on GS also.

Volks LE37T
I have a Crystal White GS430.
What do you think about these? I think GlobeClk was talking about these. I didn' t know what he was talking about until now. My friend told me about them coming out. I am going to stay with 18".

Knguyen those are the LE37Ts. I'm talking about LE37Ks, which is a 16 spoke mesh wheel, not a TE37 style one. But they're both offered in gunmetal spoke/polished lip.
IMO I like the original TE37 more than the LE37T.
But hey LE37K looks AWESOME hope no one gets it before me!

Sasha, that's not it.
That's the SE37K. The LE37 series is not on the RAYS website.
this is the LE37K shown on a silver Supra.
Some bad things about SE37K that I don't like:
1) Small lip, very small
2) The surface texture is weird, not polished, kinda like a sandy surface on the spokes.
3) Only offered in bronze.
I wanted bronze wheels, like TE37 but later found out that too many people think that bronze on silver looks funny, so I kinda changed my mind I dunno when it's time to get wheels I'll see.
