I'm going to be running the same tire/rim setup, except mine are SLs soon. What size are the tires? Any rubbing with the springs? Looks sick!!

I almost bought the SLs.. They are a great color and a cool new option.
The tires are 265/35/18. I thought about getting 275s but seems that most people here end up preferring the 265 width on a 9.5 wheel. I still might try 275s next time, I have a feeling the speedo error will get the best of me sooner or later.
No rubbing whatsoever, I had PTP roll the rear fenders a bit though, just in case.

Some of the volks TE37 have the imprint on them and some of them don't. I don't know if it has to do with size but I know that on my CE28n's they have the imprint between the spokes.

John, nice wheels and love the color combo.

Sweet thanks! Got the same width, and will pick up a set of swift springs while I'm at AMS for my tune tomorrow.

At least now with the speedo error you'll be going slower by a bit, which is always a plus

...Until I start mentally convincing myself that I can go faster because of the error.

Your car is going to look awesome man, post up pics as soon as it's done!

I'll post them, can't wait for them to show up! Better than on my old car where my spedo said I was going slower than I was. Keep it clean!
