Basic Questions regarding Volks TE 37's

Ok so I'm in the market for new wheels (currently have stock 19" ZCP's) I fell in love with the Volk TE 37 SL because of the look and the red accent seen here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...light=volk+red
Basically my questions are:
1) Where can I buy these wheels at a reasonable price?
2) What offset do I need? (knowledge of cars is limited)
3) Could I potentially used the same tires I have now on my stock ZCP's?

1) I would definitely talk to the guys at Victory Road for all your wheel needs.

2) 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +20 are very common setups.

3) Volk does offer 19" TE37SLs but they do look slightly different and you might be able to reuse the right tires if you choose the right sized wheels. That you would have to confirm with the vendor.

^ The 19" appear to have slightly less concavity than the 18".

19"



18"



You'll notice that the 19" is less concave but with a deeper lip, compared to the 18".

Best of luck! I say go with 18s, they look so much more aggressive!
