Default 17x9.5 +45 TE37?

I've been looking for 17x9.5 +45 TE37s for a bit now, but it seems like they're a rare spec that's hard to find? I don't really know the history, but I love how they look on the car. I found a website from Australia (https://www.jdmyard.com) that has them in damn near every color but they don't ship to the US. Is it even worth trying to get them?

No one can say what wheels are worth what effort. For the right wheel, some folks will put in lots of work, others will put in no work for wheels at all.

I spent four years trying to put a full set of my wheels together and another year to finish them. I’ve been working to piece together a set of wheels for my other car for 2 or 3 years at this point. I still only have two of those wheels.

Yet I have zero regrets. But I am me, I can’t speak to your results and values.

Yeah this is true. I guess my question is more where can I find this spec of TE, if at all?

By checking this forum every few days for a couple of years til they come up for sale. Maybe check in on a few boutique parts houses/wheel shops pretty frequently. One listed below, there's a few on IG too. If they're discontinued, there's probably not a store we can just link you because it doesn't work like that. You've just gotta stumble across someone parting out or someone that cycles through wheels and you've gotta have the $$ in hand and not complain about what it costs. If you don't want to do those things, it's not worth it to you.

This spec of TE isn’t that rare and are still available to buy, a seller known as @idleboost sells this spec exclusively on Instagram.

Although they will become rare in the near future as this spec of TE37 SL is being discontinued and will be replaced by the 17x9.5 +46 TE37 Saga SL.

Perfect! Thanks so much. Yeah I was looking at the Saga SLs on Evasive but they only come in Pressed Graphite and I’m kinda horny for the bronze.

JDMyard is legit, but what Cody said, depends on the lengths you're willing to go (or dollars to spend) to achieve the look you want.

Yeah, they don't ship to the US though. But its okay, I contacted the guy that @Apollo99 pointed me to, and he has a set in stock that I'm gonna go ahead and jump on.
