	Forged Gunmetal Volk Racing TE-37's
	Purchase Location: Big Bear Tire Cost: $1,600.00 Purchase Date: Spring of 2001 The Volk TE37 is one of the lightest and highest quality wheel currently available. This 16 x 7 inch forged wheel weighs only 12 pounds. The stock cast 15 x 6 inch Type R wheels weigh about 15.6 pounds each. The offset of these TE-37's is +42 mm. If you are considering upsizing (one size) for your Integra a 16 x 7 inch wheel with +42mm to +43 mm offset is optimal for performance. Despite the fact that 15 inch wheels are on the small size they are optimal for performance due to the weight savings they provide. Wheels smaller than 15 inches will not fit the Type R due to clearance issues created by the 11.2 front brake rotors. If performance was the only aspect important to me I would have chosen the TE-37's in the 15 x 7 inch size. They weigh only 9.2 pounds apiece - a 6.4 pound savings compared to the stock wheels. In addition to looking for a lightweight wheel I also wanted a slightly more aggressive look so this helped me choose the 16 inch size. During the period I made this purchase only two other light weight wheels were available. These wheels are the forged Mugen MF10's and the forged RacingHeart CP-035's. The Mugen MF10's look great but they are only offered in bronze and cost $550 per wheel! In addition, wheel strength and quality of the Mugen wheels are not any better than Volk rims since they are both manufactured by Rays Engineering/Mackin Industries. The CP-035's cost about the same as the TE-37's but they are only offered in white and gold. Gunmetal was the wheel color I preferred. Manufacturing: The raw material used for construction is 6061 aircraft grade aluminum. This material is hot forged. The 1st forging process is done with pressure of 5,000 kilograms per square centimeter. The 2nd forging process is a slow process with 3,500 kilograms per square centimeter. The lip is also forged to 3,500 kilograms per square centimeter. This allows the wheel to have less material than other wheels, but have more strength and durability. The wheel's excess material is machined off (to tolerance of 1/100 of a millimeter). Powder coating and clear coating is done by a special proprietary process to ensure long lasting quality and durability. The weight of Volk Racing TE37 is 8 lbs. for 15 x 6.5 and 16 lbs. for 18 x 8.5. Related Links: Official Volk Wheel Site The Tire Rack
