Do TE37s Look Good on Anything?

I have never had a set of te37's but I am a fan of RPF1's.

And I have a rare set of 4x100 DP enduro wheels that I have owned since the early 90's and have been on countless numbers of my previous cars.

Not going to lie, the parts car I bought for a differential came with these wheels and I was quite excited about it.  Never thought I would own a real set.

Nice to see another EF owner 

I had a 90 HF hatch. 4 forward gears, 67 hp, no passenger mirror, vinyl seats. Of course put Si bumpers painted mouldings, lowered, neuspeed and dc sports parts, zc swap, greddy turbo, auto power rollbar. Si envy always. 
 

 Then a 91 Si hatch and a 90 crx Si, glass roof, with back seat. All modified.

Mine had racing hart C5 wheels and Blitz 01 back then! Miss those days ! Nopi and Import drags!

I've got a set with nice specs for my auto-x toy for the past few years. Love them.

For the 2019 Season I switched it up and cut up the car to cram 17x10s on the front.

Still looking for an appropriate rear 17" with high enough offset to fit 225s and still clearing everything. It's a little loose as is....

Studs and spacers for a set that doesn't have a high enough offset?

How about a TE37 watch:

Wow!

And just thinking outloud: TE37s on an air-cooled 911. Looks like that works on a 964 but not the earlier cars (bummer). 

In reply to David S. Wallens :

I think one of the reasons it doesn't work that well is that most of the pictures I've seen of that combo are using wheels that are too big. For some reason, the torsion bar cars look better to me with more sidewall and less wheel.

In reply to mr2s2000elise :

Yep, all 964s . Those don't seem to mind the bigger wheels so much.

Also, 964 has a different offset than the earlier cars. I'm assuming that's it. (I know, I could look up available offsets, too.)

And the TE-37 does look so good on the 964.

Where can I buy one of these bespoke watches?

Here is mine, wheels courtesy of the PO:)

small world. Here is my car 15 years ago. Got home from dealership brand new, tein coil overs. Got rid of boat anchor racing harts. Installed 9.1lb te37s

That's a beauty! My car has faded clear coat so only looks decent from a distance. 

For some reason the PO decided to go with 16" rims so they're not quite as light but still they are significantly lighter than the stock boat anchors. Back in the day I had 15x6.5" TE37 on another Miata and they were incredibly light. 

My daily driver on summer wheel/tire package.  All the blue!

I don't think TEs look good on everything and actually I'm not a fan on 911s but they do look great on a lot of cars.  For straight up cool factor I don't think you can beat a Skyline GT-R lowered a bit with proper 18*9.5-10.5 TEs and big sticky tires.
