Lots of big images inbound.












Didn't have any bananas on hand. Left is a 17x7.

I thought these wheels were cast and not forged.

Any updates?

Not sure, I guess I just assumed. I couldn't find any specific information on whether they are forged or cast. The wheels are definitely machined, but I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Do you know if it's specifically stated anywhere?

Not to steal the question or anything, but here's how it was for me.

JDM Concept told me that they can not/will not ship to the U.S. (or anywhere outside of Aus I suppose) due to matters of regional distribution. Basically I was told that JDM Concept wouldn't ship because they didn't want to step on WORK USA's toes, and WORK USA can't get them because they are exclusive to JDM Concept (I also asked a WORK USA rep who I was referred to by JDM Concept).

I got a third party to purchase the wheels on my behalf and ship them from Australia. Check out Import Monster and let Daniel know that I sent you... maybe something good will happen. They handled my requests spectacularly and kept me updated every step of the way. Expect to pay about $650 just to ship them overseas, not including the local Australian postage cost (around $100). I was also not able to get the %10 discount advertised on the JDM Concept site.

Figure you guys might want to actually see what they look like on the car - just put them on yesterday. Ride height is currently uneven because reasons, but I'll be evening it out, adjusting camber, and going a touch lower as soon as possible. I apologize for the phone photos in the meantime.

18x10 +38 all around. 245/40/18 Nitto Neo Gen all around.

Newbie here looking to buy these wheels for my 86

Looking at going 18x10 +38 all around on 245/35r18 with Tein Flex Z coil overs.

Researching I found a guy from NSW that had 18x10 +38 with 15mm spacers at the front making the fronts +23 with 240/40r18:

Being a complete newb what would I need to have the same wheel setup.

Tein Flex Z Coilovers
15mm spacer for the fronts
?....Rear LCAs, fairy dust?

Thanks for any additional information
