New to me TE37 RT
So I will prefix this by saying that I have always wanted a set of TE37 for the M, but never got around to pulling the trigger on a new set. Until about a month ago when I saw a local Kijiji ad for a trade "TE37RT for OEM 437m wheels" my heart skipped a few beats and I messaged the seller immediately! A few messages back and forth and 3 days later I proceeded with the trade! (I added cash on top)
The TE's had some love marks and 3 wheels had bends but for the price I paid I knew I came out on top! Anyway, I sent them to get refinished by a local powder coated Ronan at "Roro Designs" in Paris, ON, and my god the finish is just perfect, the wheels are as straight as a whip and the curb rash has vanished. I chose to replicate Ray's Formula Silver colour as close as I could! Some before and after pics:

Very nice. I just got my RT's installed last week. I think these wheels are proper for M's, and the engravings on the RT's really set them off

RT stands for rigid tune, apparently they're supposed to be stronger. Or so that's what Ray's says.
"The new TE37 Rigid Tune, or RT, is the next evolution in the TE37 line. Born from tracks. like Fuji, Tsukuba, and Suzuka, the TE37RT o ers the same weight as the TE37SL with 4-6% more strength to its inner rim. The TE37RT also features a machined "Volk Racing Original" logo and a machined rim edge." That's from Mackin Industries
