Loving the look of the new Te37sl, "pressed graphite" colour, and lighter than the Te37s as well =P~ =P~

Pressed graphite! :mrgreen:

These are definitely anodised

I was thinking the same thing!

It's as if this thread is here just to rub TE37 goodness in my face! :?

6 hours of cleaning on them so far! Progress never the less. If only I had something better than this P.O.S phone camera to use :neutral:

Are those 15s or 16s?

What's the slimmest profile tyre you can fit for them [16s]?

16's. Not sure what the options are yet, as these are new and came with my 2 back when I got it in November. A little less visible wheel arch would be nice, if it can be done without a soine destroying ride :pray:

Thanks :thumleft: I've been looking for something to keep them looking good and protected, when I finally get them to a state I'm happy with. How can people pay that kind of money for these rims and neglect them?! ](*,)

Exactly! Rimwax is great- you still need to clean brake dust off them often, but they always come up good if you've waxed them first :thumleft:

I've been looking at what's out there and stumbled across a video of a guy pouring honey on a treated wheel. The honey beaded off it like water dancing around a hot pan! :shock: Maybe a gimmick but impressive none the less.
