Few pics of my car on Volk TE37s

Finally got a chance to snap some pictures of my car. Wheels are not that much of a looker but it is easy to clean compared to my previous fikse (which 3 out of 4 of them cracked).

Wheels are 18x8.5 ET 50 front and 18x10 ET 50 rear.

Thinking of getting the GT3 rear spoiler next or the MK2 rear bumper.

I love Volks, they are very easy to clean. I had a set on my 964 and I would like to get a set for my 996. I have a set of Fikse now and they are a pain to clean.

As you can tell from my avatar, I am also quite partial to Volks. I also agree that they are not much in terms of bling, but I am also in the very very small minority of P-car owners that prefer no lip one-piece wheels to the more luxurious look of three piece wheels.

Thanks for posting, and love the look.

I have the CE-28's, and yes they are ultra easy to clean....or not clean.

Car looks good....maybe light weight lugs?

Nine9six,

Wow my old wheels, they look great in black, I’m glad you posted the pictures now I get to see what they look like on a 996. I would like to see the dark grey color on a silver 996 as well.

great looking TE37's..it just re-enforces how badly i want a set

IMHO, if you put the volk/rays decals on the spokes where they should be, and added the 996 aerokit, your car would reach "ultimate spec"

Here's some pics. My car is total plain vanilla right now.

Eventually I'd like to add a MKI aerokit with some sort of wing, can't decide between Misha GTM and the Taco.

These are some pretty old pics—Painted bumperettes have been installed, and exhaust with new tips are on their way. I'm a slow modder. I hope to do suspension eventually.

KelvinC,

Thanks for the pictures. I like that color combination. I bet your car looks even better in person.
