Volk LE37 VS 02+ OEM

[spartan2-3]

VOLK LE-37 (18/19)
Front-18 X 7.5 (215/35/18) 35 lbs (w/tires)
Rear-19 X 9.5 (275/30/19) 44.5 lbs (w/tires)

OR

2005 OEM set
Front- 17 X 7 (215/40/17) 38lbs (w/tires) + 25mm spacer (~1.5 lbs)
Rear-17 X 9 (255/40/17) 47.5 (w/tires) + 25mm spacer (~1.5 lbs)

Will the smaller OEM's perform better than the taller but lighter Volks

My car is lowered w Eibachs/ Bilsteins along with the front Type-R sway and chassis bars/ Sway :smile:

 

[kreh]

How do you like the Type R sway and chasis bars?

Unfortunately, I can't answer your question but those Volks look hot as hell. Any idea how to get that center cap?

They came with the set but if I can find a set of OEM Honda Caps that will fit the Volk center, the Volk caps will be for sale :biggrin:

kreh,
The Type-R chassis/ front sway bars made a huge difference. You can instantly feel it. The car feels completely flat on the corners. I love it more than my headers/ exhaust mod :smile:

Keep the Volks. They look awesome!

I saw keep the 02's so you can sell me the volks! Actually both look spectacular but i'm partial to the Volk LE37. As far as i'm concerned i think the LE37 is the most beautiful wheel in the world and i want it to have my children.

 

[MikeC_587]

The pictures speak for themselves... The LE37T's are the way to go... Your NSX really stands out with the Volk's...

 

[Supercar]

I don't know about performance differences. But on a 'damn good lookin scale'... I think the LE37 is wayyyyyy up there in the hot classification. Keep the Volks mate.

I had a chance to pick up a set of 02 OEMs for like $1700 or 17/18 inch Volk LE37s for $1800. I went for the LEs. But now I would have went for the 02 OEMs. Both look clean. But in all honesty I dont like the pop up lights with the newer OEM wheels. Looks off IMO.

I say go for the 02 OEMs then the LEs on an 02-05 NSX. If you have an 91-01 NSX then I say go for the LEs then the 02 OEM.

You got a pretty good deal for those LE's if they were in good condition with good tires. I don't really care for LE Volks, 37's or 28's. I prefer one piece wheels in one color. Still, I would probably choose the LE's over the 02 stocks. The 02 stocks are nice, but they're just....stocks. This is, of course, if you're talking about looks and not performance.

I say go for the 02 OEMs then the LEs on an 02-05 NSX. If you have an 91-01 NSX then I say go for the LEs then the 02 OEM.

If you already had an 02 NSX, wouldn't you most likely already have 02 stocks?

How many people in the course of a year might you encounter who would even notice? Make yourself happy!

Thanks for the feedbacks guys

amgnsx (Ariel) and I test fitted the Volks on his 04.

The Volks looks hot on his 04 (aside from the 4X4 look):biggrin:

 

[Da Hapa]

I vote for the Volks. While I love the look of the 02+ wheels, I honestly think the Volks are some of the best looking wheels on the market.

 

[makena88]

Keep the Volks. They look awesome!

I agree too, keep the volks

 

[The Kid]

[kreh]

Thanks Spartan2-3,

Keep the Volks. Your NSX looks outstanding with them.

Do you have the Bilstein's on the upper or lower perch?

I just had my garage finished and for my floor I used a company called "garage designs". They came and installed cabinets, racks, and fancy red/black checked tile. Looks unreal, I love it. Not very expensive either.

Just an FYI - The "VR" caps have been discontinued.

We also have several sets of Volk wheels in stock on sale here:

We would be happy to provide any of the Volk wheels as we are a master Volk dealer.

cheers,
