Wheel Directory: TWS T66-F 18x9.5 +45




Tires: Hankook Ventus V12 evo 255/35ZR18
Suspension: ST Coilovers

Info on wheels: TWS T66-F site. 15.8 lbs and hubcentric to our cars' spec so no centering rings required. Ordered here from Japanparts. About $2460 for wheels + $500 shipping to CA + $69 customs fee. $80 optional center caps. According to TWS, standard spec orders such as what I ordered can take 90 days. I ordered on 12/9/2013, Japanparts received them from TWS on 3/2/2014, and I received them on 3/4/2014 so 85 days overall. Custom spec orders can take 90+ days and require a minimum order quantity of 20 wheels. There's speculation that CounterSpace Garage is working to make these more attainable stateside.











Suspension settings: Lowered 1.4" (35 mm) all around. Front camber set to max negative w/ pre-slotted holes and stock 16mm bolts and rest of suspension is stock. I've driven it moderately spiritedly through canyons (I'd say at 5/10ths to 7/10ths of the limit since limits are raised with this rubber) so far no rubbing including at full lock.

Very nice.

I like that the offset tucks the wheels in a little. I'm on 18x9.5+38 and its "pokey to flush" front to rear.

Whats the weight on those bad boys?

15.8 lbs. I added it to the description. And tires are 23 lbs. On an analog scale they weighed about 39 lbs together.

39lbs with that much grip that's well (EPIC)

Btw sure looks lot lower then 1.4" pics are so deceiving.

Btw @DarrenDriven for add to wheel directory as these wheels are rare.

And here I am thinking my new wheels that are 17 lbs in 18x9.5 are lightweight.



Nice setup sir.

@DarrenDriven, @CSG David, @CSG Mike
So you dont have top mount front?

did you run 16mm crush bolt in the slotted upper holes? sounds kinda dangerous...

Nah, rest is stock like I tried to clearly state. And these are the 16mm stock bolts that come stock on everybody's car, not the 14mm crash/camber bolts you might be thinking.

I tried to state it clearly in the OP because I figured people would ask but 85 days.
