Volk racing TE 37 on my tacoma

TE37XT m-spec, blast black, 17x8.5, -10

 

Got to do the cmc if youre rinning -20

 

I just sent an email to System Motorsports it says they have 17x8.5 -10 TE37 Blast Black in stock, we shall see.

 

Same thing happened to me in May - I emailed saying I would buy them immediately. They replied within a few hours saying they were not in stock and need to be special ordered, also saying it would likely be well over 5 months for delivery. I will say their initial customer service was stellar - my correspondence was with the owner/general manager, Thomson Ho, who also drives a Tacoma. Seems to be a super cool guy.
So I ended up ordering a second set (before I have even received my first set from a different vendor).

He set up a nice little invoice where I can pay as little or as much as I want toward the balance whenever I want with only $500 down so long as they are paid in full by the time they are ready to be shipped. That will be well over 5-6 months, so it's like a free layaway plan.

The other vendor required half down, half upon shipping.

 

Ditched the 18s for some 16s and joined the 35 club

 

What all have you done to fit the 35s? Stock gears?

 

CMC, Flatten Pinch Weld, Caster @ +4.5, Viper Cut, Trimmed Flare, Fender, & Liner. Stock gears for now, re-gear most likely this winter to 5.29s

 

That layaway plan sounds great. What’s the total shipped? I’m gonna have to look into this.

 

Has anyone ordered from the bigger companies like Evasive or Vivid?

 

I tried to order Rays L37 lug nuts from Vivid, because I thought they had them in stock. I canceled the order and got a set of red through @ShowstoppersUSA which they had in stock and shipped immediately. I order black through them as well, since that was my preference, and those came several weeks after I ordered.

 

Vivid is terrible, I would look elsewhere.

 

From my past experience, Vivid Racing is hit or miss. Evasive Motorsports was pretty quick when I ordered Advan Racing center caps from them (in stock items and pre-pandemic) for other wheels/vehicles.

But Rays Engineering/Volk Racing, Advan Racing, and some other JDM brands are imported exclusively by Mackin Industries so you won't receive the wheels and parts any faster by ordering through a bigger vendor (since they all come from the same U.S. distributor).

 

What color did and size did you go with?

 

Edit:
Sitting on 340lbs of regret, with 85lbs on the way.

"Sitting on 550lbs of regret. With 135lbs on the way."

 

beautiful

 

It doesn’t have to be regret , you can always sell them. Im looking for spares

 

If I do sell, It'll only be inflation pricing.

 

what does that (550 lbs) refer to in the pic?

 

The total weight of wheels/tires x 4

 

Are those tires well over 100lbs/each?

Aren’t those Volks about 18 pounds each?
