Found this pic on instagram (@sheepeybuilt) I think these 18" TE37s look fantastic.

They do look great, im a huge Volk wheel fan i run them on my dc5... then again i prefer a set of OG's not a huge fan yet of the new Saga line-up

I see the Ctr in a different generation of sport-compact car.. Honda def raised the bar on styling/performance & overall existence of the car (thats why soo many people seem to hate on it)

so by throwing on a set of aftermarket wheels right away you do it with the intention to primarily make the car look better but are we really that dissatisfied with the stock look and are you really making it look better?

but in this case I think people are ruining "the new style" of the ctr car by changing out the oe wheels "for now"

On a side note i am glad guys on here are sharing what they do to their cars.. it is fun to see all the different routes people are going .. just my 2 cents

Im just very happy with the way my car looks stock, maybe next summer when theres a good aftermarket suspension out there i'll do wheels and suspension

This thread has been getting an overall negative response, but now that i look at it again; these have been the best wheels on the Ctr that i have seen..

Unfortunately from what i've seen soo far guys are switching to a smaller wheel and bigger tire and it doesnt look right on the Ctr.. this car is actually very stylish and it seems to me 20's is the way to stay or OEM
Negative feedback/publicity is just that, feedback/publicity. I appreciate the positive comments pimpinn, foreal.

When people say "the CTR is a track car, why are you putting Vossens on a CTR, those are luxury wheels, I hope they break on you" I find that to be a little to on the nose considering I don't live, eat or work at a track, it's my daily car, so for others to be making these type of comments I just giggle. The fact that the wheels me and my cousin have are the same weight as the stock ones it really means nothing.

I'll be changing my wheels a few months down the road, I'll be sure to make a thread on it and will welcome the haters.
