Which brand does the TE37 wheel belong to?
2 Answers
TE37 is a Japanese brand. Below are specific details about the TE37: 1. The TE37 wheel has a width of 6.5 inches, is 15 inches in diameter, and is lightweight, weighing 3.7 kg. 2. The TE37 is made entirely of aluminum, specifically A6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum. Below is a detailed introduction to wheels: 1. A wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire from the inside and is mounted on the axle. 2. Wheel hubs are also known as rims, steel rings, or wheel discs. They come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. 3. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, wheel hubs undergo different surface treatment processes, mainly categorized into painting and plating. 4. Many mass-market vehicle models use painted wheel hubs. Some stylish and dynamic colored wheels also utilize painting technology. These wheels are moderately priced and come in a wide range of specifications. 5. Plated wheel hubs are further divided into silver plating, water plating, and pure plating types. Although silver-plated and water-plated wheels have bright and vivid colors, their durability is relatively short, and they are more affordable.
The TE37 is the most iconic forged wheel model from the Japanese brand RAYS, virtually unrivaled in the tuning scene. Having been into cars for over a decade, I’ve gone through three sets of TE37SLs on my performance cars. Its six-spoke design is instantly recognizable, and the weight reduction is extreme—an 18-inch wheel can be 2-3kg lighter than OEM, making the front end noticeably more agile during acceleration. Initially, only the track-oriented version was available, but RAYS later introduced the street-legal Volk Racing TE37. A heads-up for potential buyers: Genuine TE37s feature laser-engraved 'RAYS ENGINEERING' and 'MADE IN JAPAN' on the inner barrel, while replicas often use painted markings. The TE37V MarkII circulating in the secondhand market is a particularly great find, striking a perfect balance between durability and racing DNA.
