This is just the first of many project cars that we have lined up for you guys. One car at a time for now, we have a lot of work ahead of us.

We actually have a set of those being custom built for us to go on another project car that we will be doing soon, but that will be information for a different thread altogether.
It's just amazing how the price of those Gallardos has come down so much in recent months isn't it? It is almost going to be an affordable car now for people.
For now we will keep this on topic for the E55 and the TE37's.

Love every detail about the build. Many negatives towards the lug bolts, but to each its own, I love the attention to detail. I have a set of BBS LM's and am interested in having something different as well. Would these lug bolts help agaisnt theft? Also can we get them in different colors other than black or silver? I might be interested in a set- annodized blue if they make them.
Keep the pictures coming, love the car and Volks are definitely some classy wheels.

Sent you a PM BTW about the lugs. Can't wait to get them. TIA

I guess the time has come to post some TE37 pricing for the Benz wheels-
20" (which are in stock right now)
20"x8.5"- $1558.00
20"x9.5"- $1609.00
20"x10.5"- $1660.00
19" (I have them on order for stock but they are still a little ways out)
19"x8.5"- $886.00
19"x9.5"- $906.00
19"x10.5"- $927.00
The G2 wheels that are pictured on the Lamborghini in this thread are being done for us in Mercedes Benz fitments as well and I should have them available for you in a week. I have an email to Rays right now and I should know what sizes are coming in on our order by tonight so i will post all the information later today or tomorrow the latest. These wheels are fully forged and the same weight as TE37's.

Yes, it is per wheel so you can imagine how much my wallet is hurting from ordering those in 20's. The 19's are way cheaper and the G2's are going to be cheaper than the TE37's as well.
Oh, by the way. I weighed my 20" TE's and they weigh 20.1 lbs.

All I had was one tire so that is why I only have the one shot for you guys. At least you get an idea of what the TE looks like on the car. We already have the lowering module and a bunch of parts ready to go in the car, we are just trying to finish up some stock testing before we start modifying it. We have lots of work to do but we are looking forward to doing it.

I should be able to deliver wheels in this size fairly quickly. If you are interested in getting any of these wheels at this pricing let me know and I will put together how long it will take me to get them for you. If you are interested in getting them powder coated any particular color we can get that done for you very quickly and, at a very reasonable price.
The 18" TE's weigh between 18lbs. and 19lbs.

Here are some pictures of my new lug bolts. These are called Dual Phase System and they are from Japan as well. I hope you guys like them, they are very unique.
These wheel lugs are $310.00 for a set. It comes out to about $15.00 each which is pretty expensive and will not be for everybody. A regular lug bolt sells for around $5.00 each so these are 3 times the price but, you do get a lot more.

No doubt! I remember you and I chatting about TE's a couple months ago. I'm stoked to see this application being used on the beast. I'm just antsy to see what finish you end up with

Because it is hard to get the lug bolt off the car without the two tools. The first tool (the silver one) removes the black insert. the second tool (the black one) removes the wheel lug and gets inserted into the lug once the cap has been removed. There is no way to put a socket on the lug and remove it because it is perfectly round on the outside.
I hope that this helps to answer your question, if you have any more please feel free to ask.
