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
MTE37 low volume run in 15x8 +25

Perhaps you can order a set from them? http://mrrs.jp/blog/archives/201207/22-032547.php

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.

Fitment is close with 14x7 +0 and NB2 RS brakes, 3mm spacer recommended (shown)
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.
Best bet would probably be to just order them off YJA (from Murakami)

they also have the 14x7 +18 listed
http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b158964575
But these 14x6.5 +15 set are going for much cheaper

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.

nice!

very nice!! Are you selling the Panasports?
Phat, the Panasports will likely find their way onto my BRG build.
Looks awesome, Geoff!
My Eunos Roadster, Jazz
Thanks Brian, I'll have proper shots once I get the car out this weekend.
