^ Man whats with the violence!

I'm still stuck, the TE37s are a classic 6 spoke that with never be outdated, but the RE30s are (in my eyes) more of a race breed kinda wheel. I have always liked the thin multi-spoke wheels (RE30s).

Rota did cross my mind, cause they do offer both "designs" and the fact that I'm not a track guy. But money has been good this year, and if I'm gonna go all the way with the car (maye make it into a dd/show car), then I need to go ALL THE WAY.

Tough decision, still got some time. But to all of the DFW and Houston guys, since I will be buying new wheels, I will be selling my BBS wheels off my 08 MR. I drive to Houston every Monday and then drive back to Dallas every Friday, so I can meet you in either city.

So I guess I need to make it official (but I will start a new thread, just given ya'll a head start.

For sale, 2008 EVO MR BBS Wheels and Tires only, I'm keeping the TPMS Sensors for my new wheels. They are in perfect condition and the tires only have 2600 miles on them, plenty of rubber left, 1500 OBO. No shipping, no paypal, only a face to face transaction with cash. You EVO 9 guys, I believe they will fit. First one that pays, gets them!

You need to get with someone with an Evo 8/9 and have them test fit your wheels, take a picture and then post them up. They'll be easy to sell that way.

I vote for bronze TE 37s. Oh, I have an awesome wheel hook-up if you want a good deal. I'll PM you what I paid for my RZs so you get an idea.

I agree. You have stock BBS wheels, imagine what they would cost for someone to upgrade too, why put a substandard wheel on your machine?

No, they might be sent out this Friday, which means I probably won't get them till the week after thanksgiving, maybe the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving. Plus, once I get them I will have to take the TPMS sensor out of my old wheels and put them into my new wheels. That will be fun.

Anyone recommend a place to mount/balance/transfer TPMS sensors? Also, I believe that I will have to get the TPMS calibrated at a dealership. Not sure though.

If so, I will go to Don Herring of course, maybe he can do everything for me at a good price. Don, you reading? If so, PM me.

TE37's will look better with that offset. If you werent gong with the lower offset I'd say the RE30's but since you are... concave TE37's for sure.

I think they were referring to me saying they were $3k wheels.
