If the product isn't as profitable then it might take a lot longer to recoup losses.

    20 years after seeing these for the first time in a Super Street issue, I finally ponied up the cash and bought a set of TE-37's. For anybody curious, it's shocking how light and strong they are. It isn't sales gimmicks or hyperbole. They really are that good. You can feel a big difference even on a stock car. Don't buy junk, cast knock-offs of these wheels. They're not even close to the real thing. Yes, real RAYS wheels are expensive, but hey that's why there's Up-Garage and Croooober. Buying them 2nd hand is a great and often very affordable option.

    With the reps, they just machine an aluminum blank out and call it a day. That's why you buy real deal.

      They had a patent application for Germany in the video so you might be in luck in future. I'm amazed your stupid TUV doesn't allow these. Meanwhile I can drive an A-class that wants to kill me on a bump and it's 'TUV" approved. what a joke.

      @@N4CR yeah I know. TÜV here in Germany is such a pain. There are so many stupid things that are not legal. In my opinion it's that hard and expensive to make wheels legal because they know some German wheel brands could close their business.
