Volk TE37s

I finally got around to mounting them.

Sticking out (http://216.32.68.82/gallery/d/3474-2/sticking+out+rear.JPG)

I did weigh them against stock 17" Talon rims.

Volk TE37, 18x8.5 w/ 245/35/18s = 40lbs
Stock 17x6.5 w/ 225/45/17 = 45lbs

These rims in a 30mm offset do not require any spacers and clear the suspension by a good 3mm.

On a 2G the suspension isn't as important as the knuckle. Also you aren't legal for road racing with them sticking out like that :)

That's where fender flares come in.

A true member of the Colorado Elite, Fender flares. Will they be chrome? At least I'll be able to ride with you down Federal safely.

[sbiggi]

Bah to fender flares, time to pull the fenders and go custom widebody!

[hoffman]

We'll see. Right now I'm just happy they fit.

Actually I jsut checked the NASA rules and there is no restriction on tire width or size. I will get a deduction for using non-DOT tires.

Secksy :D

Tire width or size, no. Tires sticking out past the vehicle yes. Only solo events allow it.

Check the rules.

[v413nc3]

Yes yes, I have the PDF's. But I don't know any road courses that aren't solo events that allow that unless you're in an "open wheel" class.

[v413nc3]

I just like bustin his chops. I'm not a big fan of fender add ons. But to each his own :)

[fhudsonjr]

Hoffman, they look great.

What do you think of Tracklite and Tracklite2 ?

Fred

[hoffman]

I haven't looked at either of those.

Holy wide shoes and exhibit 1 of Art's shoe collection. :)

[hoffman]

Wilwoods clear by a mile. (http://216.32.68.82/gallery/d/3480-1/Volk+TE37+13in+Wilwood+clearance.JPG)

Jesus, those look like they came off an old school mini.

[hoffman]

It does make them look small don't they?

Maybe some 14" BSL6s? Time to call Todd.

[Erron Spalsbury]

Cool! Them are nice! I honestly was thinking they would be lighter though.
Your class designation will superseed the main rules, so you'll be fine. Ever see a 325i with 335's all the way around? lol

Are you going to cut the fender any?

[nefkntym]

What is the exact weight for a single 18x8.5 TE37?

[fhudsonjr]

Traklite and Traklite 2 weigh 14.5 lb. for 17x8, but they only have offsets of 42mm & 45mm. At least at the one site I checked.

[hoffman]

Those offsets suck. These weighed in at 18lbs for 18x8.5s and 40lbs with Hoosiers.

[nefkntym]

Thanks buddy.
