scooter stuff Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I am a huge fan of the te37. They were bronze, and look OK on the car. The wheels were on the car when I purchased it. I too think they are a bit too modern for the car. I really have a soft spot for multi piece wheels and the character they add to the look, along with the classic watanabe/panasport design I think they are a home run. If I had a modern wheel on the car, it would be the Volk GTP. I also knew that I wanted to run the 245 35 16 tire that toyo offers, as its a perfect diameter. The Volks were an aggressive fit with a 195 45 15 on them, so no room (+15 offset). I actually had an order with Kodiak wheels in to build me a set of custom wheel halves to get the width's where I wanted them, but in the end, the brakes just didn't allow for the wheel centers to fit properly on the car. To fit around the brakes (especially the rears) took some extreme wheel centers. CCW was amazing to work with on this, as they machined one and sent it to me to make sure they fit. Check out the rough process: As you can tell by that last pic, these brakes required a lot of inside dish. Here are the rear with brakes mounted on the car: Here are the front: You can tell that the front caliper has a lot more clearance to the spokes. We could have machined it closer, but then I would have been deep dish on the front, opposite of what any rwd should look like, and opposite of my other driver (I call it a modern day 510, love it or hate it styling, small compact, light wheight design, quirky driving dynamics (both trailing arm designs), and relatively rare and low cost: , I wish I could have gotten a bit of stagger dish in the rear of the 510, but form follows function here. This is a long term driver/project car for me. Eventual plans are to do a vg33 upgrade, and possible turbo setup (its really tight in there right now. I had a full turbo system designed for it with help of bell intercoolers and jim wolf and race logic, but in the end, I want to fabricate most of the stuff, and I just need more time than I have right now. For now, I take the car to the local porsche club track events once or twice a year. My focus is to get the car really sorted out. I feel its there. The suspension is there, the brakes are there, and I love the wheel and tire setup I am currently running. As far as the side markers go, I didn't do any of the body or paint. That was all done by Kelvin Dietz a decade ago when he built this car for himself (the smurf). He did an amazing job, as they still look factory fresh. I am sure its all about doing it all in metal, with little or no filler. Actually, I did the body and paint work on Kelvins car. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Picked these up locally for cheap with nearly new Hankook tires. I just wish they would fit something that I owned. HAHAHA. 14x9 and 14x10, -3 all around I believe. oh these would be hot on my 610 once i get around to flaring it Quote Link to comment

72dat Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 S110 200sx factory alloys on my roomate's S110: my volk SF mesh on my (sold) S12. Still have the wheels though: Dont see many of these around. Here is mine i had a while ago. The wheels were a bit small and didn't get around to correcting it before i had to sell it. Regret it now but had to consolidate the projects into one. Quote Link to comment
