I thought those CE's looked amazing. The red offset the blue nicely.
Not a fan of the TE's. They seem to look off to me.

the flat face has taken time to grow on me. next shoot will be with the tes since i don't plan on keeping the ces.

I might be the exception in that on the s2k I actually prefer the flat face TEs.

My opinion of wheels and fitment pretty much begins if I look at a car and think, that thing is completely undriveable in any other situation but cruising slowly around town or commuting on the freeway. It is so funny to me that it has become so popular to turn sports cars into dedicated show cars, making them absolutely terrible to drive in the process. I prefer wheels that actually fit to "fitment" and the whole stupid culture that has developed around it.

It's always refreshing when people don't forget that cars are first and for most for driving.

but to each their own in the end.

thx sir! i appreciate that for me, the tes allowed 4mm additional clearance for auto-x so it was a no brainer.
i prefer 17" as well. why... less space between caliper/rotor and barrel of rim. just me being me. also tires are cheaper
to top it all the price, $525 a te37sl and only 80 to ship the set next day air via my trusted freight forwarder. had to!
