Hello,

Think this is the best place to ask, anyone has experience or issues with their 17X9.5 +50 all around?

Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on a group buy.

Thanks,
Kevin

There is actually a company in Japan who specializes in modifying and racing Corvettes, and has exclusive rights to the Corvette size/spec TE37s. I forget their name but I came across them while helping my cousin locate a set of Te37s for his C6Z06.

It's a similar situation to the way a different company in japan has an exclusive size of the CE28 RT and TE37 SL that you have to go through them to get.

My four 17x9 +63 Formula Silver / Diamond Cut lip CE28N's arrived from Japan the other day, and I'm hoping to have them rubberized and on the car by tomorrow. I have to say, the finish on these wheels is spectacular! I was grinning ear to ear when I pried open those "Japan Power" boxes. I love the way the color shifts with light on the Formula Silver, and the paint job is flawless. I almost went with bronze, but I have those on my NA Miata currently, so I figured I'd go a different way with the S. I've had 4-5 sets of Rays/Volk wheels on various cars over the past 20 years, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of them. They really are the biznass.

*edit* Got them on today. It looks like a monster truck on the stock suspension, so I need to fix that. Big Foot S2K...vroom!

I also got the Formula Type high center caps and they went on smoothly and don't seem to interfere. They are really slick, and are nice little pieces of jewelry. I also went with the Muteki SR45R lug nuts. I have to say I was impressed with those as well. I love the knurling on the ends, and I can't imagine I'll ever round these things like I have some of the other types I've used in the past.





I had the Formula Edition LE28's back in 2009.
