Stunning combo on white cars.

OP if you can stomach the loss of the 'concaveness' they sell them in 17x8.5 too

But if anything, imho TE37 are plagued by same problem as rpf1. See them (or their reps) in almost every second pic of any sporty car with forged wheels. And on twins they imho don't look that well in 17", as due their design imho they subjectively look smaller. i'd rather get ZE40 or CN28 from forged volks, and of a bit more reasonable width unless one absolutely must join ranks of ones that don't care about handling if one can fit unnecessary and unwisely widest wheels-tire combo noone else will notice unless pointed to.

I see we have a common enemy.

TE37 styles suit the WRX crowd better.

Agree. From an aesthetic perspective, the te37 is shaped with big blocky chunks which seem to better suit cars with similar shapes (wrx/evo) or even older box type jdm legends. Our cars are quite slimmer and streamlined to an organic shape which is why i think slim, long spokes with flowing lines work well like ze40, tc105n, etc. which is why i find the t66F to be slightly less good looking vs the other options. Its just the legend status that makes me go wild. Goes well with my fujitsubo catback lol

But to answer's OP questions instead of a TE threadjack (thought it's still the right answer)

I like the BBS the best of the options.

BBS RF + 205/45-17 tires (either Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 or Continental Extremecontact Sport) = stupid lightweight combo that will really sharpen up the handling.
