TE37 All The Issues!
Whereas some G-Wagens are used off-road, others keep on the paved stuff. What else stays on the paved stuff? Race automobiles. And racecars put on Volk TE37’s. OK, so it may be a little bit of a stretch to name a G55 a race automobile, however this setup is sincere about its intentions. We dig it.
Even The Older Ones Are Epic
