Awesome pictures! God what a beautiful car! :D
I'm very interested in your total suspension setup - once you get some miles on it, I'd love to hear your feedback and details on alignment settings, etc.



That's... not true. There's quite a number of good sizing options still available for a MK3 in 17, 18, and 19in depending on the specific TE37 model. What sort of sizing were you looking for?
I’m looking for 18s that will fit properly (at least 9.5 in the back) in the Saga Sl Pressed Graphite color. My shop said there are no rims available with the correct offset right now. Do you know what is the correct size and offset in 18s and if they are available. Would love to get some 37s for the car. I think it would compliment it perfectly.

I will definitely let you know how the suspension feels. I just need to find some quality rims and tires to makes sure I get the full effect.

That's almost too easy.

18x10 +40 rear and 18x9 +45 front would fit great - might need a front spacer if you've got a crazy BBK but otherwise you'd have plenty of room there.
Those are catalog size and offset offerings in the SL Pressed Graphite ('PG Color' on this pic) so any Volk/Rays dealer should be able to order them for you.
Might take 3-4 months though from Japan.

Those sizes are close to NSX spec. Might want to contact Matt @ icbmotorsport.com and see what he has in stock, and if not, when his next shipment from Japan will be.

I currently have 18x8.5 +34 front and 18x9.5 +35 rear. The front rub so I have to roll my fenders. I wanted to stay with 8.5 and 9.5 to maintain the stockish look and not have rub issues, camber or tire stretch (I like the square tire look). The +44/45 I was told would make the wheel face look too flat and I don't think that would look good. I haven't seen any pics of Te37s with those specs on a MK3 to compare to. So I have only seen the +45ish for the 8.5s which has made it hard finding the right wheels. I'm almost at the point of just saying screw it, selling my kidney and having rotaform make me some customs 18s that resemble the original sawblades.

Your shop is unfamiliar with current TE37 offerings. The TE37 Saga SL -in the pressed graphite color you want by default, no less- are not offered in 'flat faces'

Here's the screencap from the site, but the wheel listing and info is here:

You'll see from the sizing info I already posted above that your 18x8.5 +45 desired fitment for the front has the Face-3 profile, which is decidedly concave. The rears will be a Face-4 which is even more concave.

Just get the TE37's from a shop that knows what they're doing with Rays Engineering products. :)

Does anyone have Minh's IG handy? I'm sure he could source exactly what you want for a surprisingly reasonable price.
