we received our set of te37 saga time attack wheels for review from vivid racing. simply amazing! pics don't do them justice. they are now sold out from vivid racing.

we are planning to install michelin pilot sport cup 2 265/35/18 tires on them this weekend. they'll also be properly ceramic coated with gtechniq c5 wheel armor.

those who don't believe they're concave need to look again since we took measurements and pics to show. take a look at string method. spokes are 1/8" lower than lip and taper down - ala concave - to 1" at end of spoke around the center bore.

also and for heaven's sake, anyone who uses rays wheels should not be buying cheap plastic center caps from china and pour/paint the red lettering...might as well not buy rays wheels to begin with smh!

get the proper real rays matching center caps to complete the look.

Drag DR-67 18x8 +40 Matte Black.
Continental Extreme Contact 245 40 ZR 18
Speedometer: very close (reads very slightly faster than you are actually going)
Waaaay more comfortable ride. Can't really tell difference in handling in daily driving. It's just not as harsh.
Greatly reduced my anxiety about Michigan pot holes.
Finish of wheels has added bonus of hiding brake dust.
Discount Tire. Paid $1600 (including replacement/protection plan)
VERY HAPPY! Probably will not use original tires/wheels except for special occasions.

Since he doesn’t seem to want to post the info...I think they’re 19x9.5 +40...

While looking awesome, they supposedly weigh 33 f’n pounds.
I certainly appreciate the response... I didn't expect to offend someone by asking what their wheel specs are after commenting how great they look, but apparently it is considered lazy. You learn something new everyday.

I don’t think anyone is offended. I may very well be wrong about the specs.

The link is for the CH wheel, I’m pretty sure he has the CH-R, probably doesn’t matter much weight wise though. BBS website has the CH-Rs in 18 inch listed at 23lbs, so I guess it depends on who you want to believe, the 19s are listed at 24+lbs, and that’s close to what I got on a cheap bathroom scale.

I disagree on them being the CH-R.

Wasn’t he asking about the wheels on the SGP type R? You’re right on the black type r.
I don't think so since the SGP posted the specs of his wheels right above his pic but I could be wrong. Either way both wheel specs are called out.
