from the manufactures site



The Volk Racing TE37V is a new variant of the flagship wheel, the TE37. The V stands for vintage, and this TE37V is aimed for the older classic vehicles. Offering small diameters and lower offsets, the TE37V comes in a step lip design, different from the normal TE37. The TE37V is still just as strong as the TE37, and still just as light. Offered in two standard colors, bronze and gunmetal.

White nb and red na = rota not volks.

thanks, removed.....

I just ran a google image search and those images popped up. :fp:

[theothersawyer]

I've always wanted to get a set of these! But I want like 0 offset with flares!

[etikoner]

Couploop had these on his old NA

[atank]

What front end is on that NB above???

[revlimiter]

I was actually researching these for a set of track wheels. The problem is the face on the 4x100s.

from here (http://blog.evasivemotorsports.com/?p=305).

The spokes are just... not my bag. Not flat or concave like the original TE37. It was enough to kill my interest.

MTE37s. They were a limited run. I'd dearly love a set of these. Look at that face. 4x100 and 14x7+0.

[theothersawyer]

Those are gorgeous!

Some german dude has an NA with these. I really love them, I just get sad that no off the shelf 14's come in wider than a 7" width. Booooo

Grip driver recently posted a link to a set of the MTE37 14x7 +18 in the Yahoo thread. Post No. #461 http://mazdaroadster.net/showthread.php?8093-2014-Yahoo-Japan-Auctions-Thread-(-MIATA-Related-Auction-Finds-)&p=130947&viewfull=1#post130947

I looked at the TE37V's when I was choosing my latest wheels. I didn't want too much negative offset so I was looking at the 15x8 +25's. They have the (S-Rim). I don't think they look so attractive with the small outer lip.

The mte37 also come in 15-8 25et. Check the mrrs blog

Couldn't find MRRS blog with Google. Link?
I'm pretty sure my TE37SL's in 15x8 +25 came from the MTE batch. They were released at about the same time and are apparently a limited run item.

[fwdtamiya]

Talking about this?

I don't know what differentiates the MTE37 and TE37 line.

Murakami were selling the 14x7 +18's that GripDriver posted.
I don't think Volk use the MTE designation. The MTE wheels started as a group buy in Japan for Roadster enthusiasts who wanted TE37's in bigger fitments. The pre release promo pics have MTE on them but I haven't seen it used elsewhere to market these wheels.

The spokes are concave sorta like the TE37 Gravel wheels AE86's use

From left MTE37-2 (14 × 7J +0), TE37 (15 × 6.5J +28), MTE37-1 (15 × 8J +25)

Been looking through the MRRS blog reading about the MTE37 group buys that took place there. Evidently he had to order 20 wheels (5 sets) of each type through a RAYS dealer for RAYS to accept the order.

I thought I might have found out about my TE37SL's in this blog and in a way I have. JonB runs the same 15x8 +25 TE37SL's as I do and apparently he says they were one of five sets for the US market. Probably US dealers can purchase limited runs of five sets also. I purchased my ones from the US so now there's probably only four sets there now. I went for these as they didn't have the newer embossed rim, made in 2012 at the latest. :)

[fwdtamiya]

Perhaps you can order a set from them?
Best bet would probably be to just order them off YJA (from Murakami)

Nice info in this thread right here.
I'd gladly run the 14x7 +18 set on my car in bronze.

This picture right here is awesome.

I would rather run 195/60-14 tires rather than the 185's, though.

New wheels going on the car!

[geffrocks86]

Phat, the Panasports will likely find their way onto my BRG build.

Thanks Brian, I'll have proper shots once I get the car out this weekend.

This is the info ive been looking for for a while. Is this Picture of the front or rear. I was worried the 14x7 0+ wouldn't fit the rear sport brakes

[Phatmiata]

How about a review of them in the parts review section? I don't think anyone has review a set of wheels yet, and these are really sweet wheels!!

This is the front. When they tested with new pads and rotors it cleared but there was less than 1mm of clearance. So they recommend the 3mm spacer. Evidently as the brakes wear there becomes more clearance.
There was no mention of rear fitment issues on the Japanese site.

My new wheels haven't even arrived yet, but I've been really wanting to get a set of these for my flared na

http://cdn.mkimg.carview.co.jp/minkara/parts/000/005/221/154/5221154/p2.jpg?ct=b40fd3ad7360

Are these 16 inch ? I have a chance to get some used (great price) regular white blue logo TE37 16's but I am afraid they will look a bit silly on my gray NA ...

[topover]

Truly a classic... Now a days its pretty hard to find such set a lot of brands copied them including rota.
