@ People who would like to get a quote... I am NOT a vendor, but I just contacted my local part shop and I "could" get a good deal depending on how many sets (they're sponsoring my website, that's why)... PM me your postal code or anything and I'll check shipping

I LOVE the wheels!

One of the first public BRZ owners with a nice set of wide concave wheels. They look awesome on the car!!!! I know we've seen some Rota Torques.. and of course we've seen the really high end GramLights and other Ray's wheels.. but those are $500+ per wheel..

If I could get my hands on a set like yours for $200 each.. that would be awesome!!

They actually look great, I love Weds wheels but hate the fact they only come in terrible offsets. I'd love a set of 18x9 +20

Whats the weight on these wheels? Their website is almost devoid of information...

Edit: NVRMIND just figured out how to use their website.

What a great looking ride. Great job, you read my mind!

Would anyone be interested in real WEDS if we can get working on some sizes like this? they are SUPER light and strong in those sizes.

You changed three variables: wheels/weight, tires, and suspension. How do you specifically know it was the suspension that shaved 2.5 seconds? You don't.

Oh thanks... I still can make a difference between different suspension setups... and tires are still only Nankang NS2... were talking about an extremely cheap brand made for looks more than nothing else...

Looks good, you may have just convinced me to go with this wheel spec.

Edit:

More pictures please once the springs settle. THANKS!
