Hi John
i have TE37 replicas i bought from tyre place in brisbane. They are magnesium and therefore extremely lightweight, but they are also very strong. I dont know the quality of the ones on ebay, but the replica TE37s i have are great quality. -------------------- Theres only one person thats allowed to work on my car, and its not even me!
That person is Dan from  |

Magnesium hey? excuse my cynicism, but you know that the magnesium version of TE37s are around twice the price of the standard forged aluminium TE37s? don't be offended, but i don't think yours will be magnesium - they'll be conventional gravity cast alloy. don't believe everything you're told, or even what it says in the casting!

I can pick up a TE37 in 18" which weighs just under 8kg with two fingers...that to me is light. -------------------- |

Hmm I was going to buy some rims shortly but I was worried about them getting stolen.
I think that, in those stickers, I have found a solution..... |

There is a new process with casting metal which is alot lighter than before.. they now weight similar to forged items yet do not have the strength of them

yeah my mate has drifteks and say they were light as. almost like when they picked up the box, it felt as if nothing was in them. i didnt really beleive they would be as light as the actual LMGT4's. i guess they use the new process with casting metal as you're talking about?
