Default 17" Mercury Silver Volk TE-37 on Sebring Silver First pics!!!!

The scenery isn't quite up to par, but I wanted to post some quick pictures of my new wheels. These are 17" Mercury Silver TE-37's. I just got them in Thursday. I'm very happy with how they look on Sebring. What do you think?

Very sweet. Nice tire polish and everything.

I've been wondering if most japanese auto manufacturers make their stock wheels with an odd number of spokes because it's considered to be luckier. Therefore you would need to buy aftermarket wheels to get an even number of spokes like these TE-37s. But then... Rays Engineering is a japanese company, right? So what gives? Anyhow, I prefer even numbers.

Don't mind me I'm just thinking out loud.

I was told that all Volks that come into this country have to come in through Rays. I'm not sure how much they truly have to do with the design and such.

Yeah, eh... I think Rays is a japanese company, and Volk is just one of the brand names they chose to market their products under. They have other brand names like gram lights, g-games, etc. It's all one company.

I haven't touched my alignment. I hope I'm not missing something here. If anyone out there knows anything on this topic it would certainly help.

Looks nice. Now, be prepared for one of those "drop it" comments from someone soon.


Btw, are you still using stock lugs? If so, you are living dangerously.
