love the te37s but yeah it would look a lot better if concave, but still awesome. volk makes better wheels than any of the other stuff you see typically on porsches, ie the custom 3 piece wheel companies in the states.

I dont like them on s2ks. That's why I sold my set. But I'm not referring to wheels that were made from Japan when I was commenting on the 997 w/ Volks. More specifically, what I dont like is seeing an expensive luxury type car w/ wheels that are on Hondas. Its a downgrade on a Porsche. But thats just me.

To the OP, again the car looks good.
Honda's run BBS, HRE, Fikse and etc. I think that argument is pretty moot to be honest. People get way too caught up on where they think a wheel is made so it belongs on X car. So many people talk about BBS being European when the Forged versions are made in Japan. A good looking wheel is a good looking wheel no matter where it is made. That goes for any part on any car. With that said I think the TE's would look a ton better in a concave face, something just feels off.

If Hondas run BBS, HRE, Fikse and etc then it would be an upgrade to the Honda. A Porsche running Volks is a downgrade. Just IMO. Or are you the only one entitled to an opinion?

The next couple years are gonna be a big change, because of the release of the TE37 G2 you are gonna see that wheel on A LOT of high end German cars.

It just gets old hearing the same broken record of an argument when that comes up. To me, its a moot point. If you don't feel that way that's your opinion. Just a friendly debate, no need to get upset over it.

Volk's quality is right up there. If a wheel company can create a wheel for a formula 1 car... I would not say it is a downgrade in any sense.
