TE37SL questions

Correct, they were not designed to have center caps, but Rays has come out and said they are 'looking into' making some.

Although I didn’t weigh mine before mounting them, when I picked up the box it was crazy how light they were. I got mine more for the color and weight.

I found a thread on a different forum where they constantly post weights for wheels..

The 19x9.5" +22 TE37SL's weighed in at 20.4 lbs and the 19x10.5" +22 weighed in at 20.8 lbs. Maybe the 10.5" +12 could weigh a little bit more. Apparently, as offset get more aggressive, wheels get a bit heavier..

This is correct. The wider the wheel and the longer the spokes get (if you have a more concave wheel), the heavier the wheel becomes.

The reason as to why SLs do not accept center caps is because the centers are machined more than the standard TE37 for the purpose of extra weight savings.

Do center caps even weight 0.1 lbs?
