If building a car was artwork, IMO this is a masterpiece...

Gay, first car other than a WRX that TE37s actually fit the style with

Havent seen them before, but TE37s are too bandwagon to me. You said so yourself, there are lighter better wheels out there. Personally, I whore the Kosei K1 TS'

Yes there are other wheels out there that are lighter. It is true but it is also very rare. It's hard to find a light wheel that also has style like TE37's. Almost all other wheels that are lighter then them are ugly in my opinion other then the gram lites. But if I could get TE37's for the same price as gram lights I would sacrifice the weight for the style.

These are the Kosei's I was talking about. According to Tire Rack, they weigh 14.1 lbs as 17"ers, and Wheelspecs sez 13.7, but either way they are fuckin light

Those are heavier then TE37's...

And don't look near as good as TE37's either, IMO

Here's the Gram Lights I'll be looking to get soon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but TE37s as 17"s weigh 15+ lbs
