Wow, didn't realize they released the TE37X style in 17s. I'm jealous. Very nice!
They first came out last summer I think.

I did.
I used a bronze chrome base, with some added gold flake to brighten it.. and then a satin clear on top.
I don't know how this compares to the real volks. Pics on the internet compare favorably, but the combination of the gold metallic and the clear I used makes them change a LOT in different lights.
And they were powdered initially as well.. properly. They primed and everything, was quality work... and difficult to strip.

Love the TEs! I want a set of 18s next. I was going to get them now, but got Advans last minute.

Looks great! What lift do you have? Did you do a BMC?
A bunch of us at a local car show
[MENTION=130845]4REIGN3R[/MENTION] I'm interested in running that same setup. what did you have to trim to make it work? thank you.
Depends on how big of a tire you want to go. If you're running 285/65, you'll have to do a body mount chop, cut some of your front bumper, the fender mod and cut or remove your mud flap.
I want to run 285/65 but heard the Ridge Grapplers are bulkier and may need a BMC with that size. Thanks for confirming. I've heard other brands in the same size don't require the BMC.
What's your lift specs if you don't mind? TIA.
Originally I ran Duratrac with the same specs and definitely required a BMC. The Ridge Grapplers had less rub at full crank.
I'm on a 3" lift from Toytec.
