The silver TE’s look super classy. Maybe more people will start running them in silver now 🤔

Good info, I bought a LHD FD recently, have to replace the engine, convert to single turbo, repaint the body, coilovers, brakes, wheels and tires. Huge project haha Aiming for around 500hp but I can't wait to get it all finished

@lindkvistandreas 3 года назад

good choice!.. so much better balance with the new wheels on that FD

@mzondi1970 3 года назад

TE are done to death but this is a time I really enjoy them. The five spoke Enkei you had on there is a timeless design as well.

@ftovr2957 3 года назад

I feel you on the concave face dilemma! Have run both RPF1s and TE37s on my FTO in the same size too (17x9 +22). Can kiiinda squeeze a 235/45 if you're not too low, but stock is 205/50R16, so it is quite a bit off. I liked the bronze TEs against the Mazda liquid silver I had it painted, but big arches makes them look small, so I upped to some 18" SLs (contemplated a gold or the titanium silver similar to your powdercoat, but buying them new I could only justify spending so much 😅)

@Kortec_Racing 3 года назад

in europe, the fastest semi slick tyres are dunlop direzza's. really expensive but miles better then the rest. on second place the nankang ar-1 is listed. would love you to try these out and give your oponion on it. everybody at the nurburgring uses direzzas and swear by them.

@300zxdriver 3 года назад

Looks great.

@TheSlipAngle 3 года назад

Thank you!

@kasper_429 3 года назад

TE's are literally the best universal wheels lol. I haven't found a car that they don't look good on yet haha. Great video as always!

@ondafly 3 года назад

Agreed partly - BBS LMs are equal if not better.

@93rx741689 Год назад

What are the tire sizes you have on the Kojins in the beginning of the video? I'm gonna buy those same wheels for my rx7

@@TheSlipAngle thank you

@NeilsprojectFD1994 Год назад

Did the TE37 work on the FD RX-7? Did you have any issues with rubbing in the wheel well? or any other issues? I am considering going with the same wheels, size, and offset. Thank you

@TheSlipAngle Год назад

No issues with the 235/40/17 tires

@DirtDude117 2 года назад

Do you happen to know if the FD 16's will fit S2000s? Center bore seems to be the issue

@TheSlipAngle 2 года назад

I don't off hand. Lug pattern is the same and the width/offset should work but not sure about the PCD.

@rexseven93 2 года назад

I have a '93 FD. I'm planning to get some NS-M01 wheels in silver, 17"x8" with 35 offset. They are similar to yours, but 5 spoke. I'm deciding between 235 45 and 245 40 tires. Simple street use, no track use. Have any thoughts on this? Does it matter?

@TheSlipAngle 2 года назад

Put it into a gearing calculator and go with the one that you feel matches the gearing you desire. 235/45 sounds tall.

@rexseven93 2 года назад

@@TheSlipAngle It's about 1/2" extra OD. Wheel seller recommends, but I prefer the 245 40. I'm going with that.

@johncat9261 2 года назад

Does anyone know whats the best setup for offsets for 17's on a stock Rx7, maybe dropping in lower in the future ?

@TheSlipAngle 2 года назад

9 with a +30MM or 9.5 with a +38MM. The wider the wheel, the worse the car drives IMO.

@KeepInMotion123 2 года назад

I need help 😓have a 96 rx7 18x8.5 in front 18x11 in rear! What tire size will work well???

@TheSlipAngle 2 года назад

That big of a stagger will just induce understeer. I think the car feels good with a 9 to 9.5 width and a 235 to 255 max wide tire. Anything bigger and the car starts to lose it's nimble spirited feeling. If you are trying to win races than that's different, but for driving pleasure, those sizes are good.

@neilobusk 3 года назад

All the chics prefer... black wheels.................. they are apparently coooooool.... whatever that means..... wheeel choice is a personal thing... excellent info as ever... N x

@alexbilionis2378 2 года назад

Probably a silly question but is this a square setup (17x9 +22 with 235x40x17 tyre)?

@TheSlipAngle 2 года назад

Yes it is

@alexbilionis2378 2 года назад

Thanks! Do you have any rubbing with the arches/liners? I’m buying a new set of wheels and when I check the specs of the te37’s with a fd whee fit spreadsheet it suggests that the fit wouldn’t work. My fd is stock except for ohlins dfv’s and don’t want to roll the arches. Great channel btw!

@3991melkoun 3 года назад

Can't believe the tire saves 3 pounds... That's crazy

@TheSlipAngle 3 года назад

Crazy right?

@Jmarquez43 3 года назад

@@TheSlipAngle Quinn , when you switched over the Tc4’s onto the rx8, did you also switch over the TPMS sensors? Just got a new set of enkeis and don’t know if they accept the old TpMS sensor valve stems. I would rather use the valve stems that came with the new wheels but the TPMS light will come on the cluster

@ChutneyInc. 3 года назад

Have you tried the federal st1 tire?

@TheSlipAngle 3 года назад

I've driven cars briefly with them on the lime rock cart track but not a whole lot

@ChutneyInc. 3 года назад

@@TheSlipAngle great! Thanks for responding. I just put some on my miata. To fill in the gaps 215/45/16. I like the grip i haven't aligned them. Went FM2 Suspension the same time. Barely slower and burns more gas. But i live how they tell the rain to go FckOff lol. And the tread wear is A+.
