Are my shoes too small ? 18" volk te37
I originally bought this set of te37 for my is300 but I ended up getting a is350.
I didn't mind it at first but after seeing pictures of 19" on the 2is I'm starting to second guess.
What do you all think ?
Tires a bit flat in the rear too

Try slamming it first. Then see what it looks like. Otherwise they look a bit small.

they look fine. fitment doesn't look like an issue. i'd go w/ meatier tires - if the wheel specs can allow.
btw, they look better than other knock-off/replica wheels.

This, and add some air in that back tire.

I think if u slam it then everything should flow, u can always add some spacers. thumbs up on the authentic wheels !

Great looking rims. A little more drop would make it look a lot better.

if you don't mind, try spacers on. They instanty beef up the look of your wheels. Think about it, even stock 18" wheel looks so much better with spacer and slammed. Then how well it will make your very good foundation like TE37 look better?

They look tiny! time for a upgrade! I have 19's myself and they seem quite small.
Maybe if you were to upgrade to 20s, go big or go home!

Doesn't matter if you go for 18, 19 or 20, if you don't lower your car it will not look good. You need to slam it first before make any decision on wheel again.

Just needs a drop. 18" is perfect for tracking
