As posted in another topic.

This wheel model is on the TRD Griffon 86 when it isn't wearing Volks TE37SL:

The TWS T66-F fits pretty flush into its widebody fenders so I imagine the sizing specs are different than what's posted in this thread. They also appear briefly in TRD's latest official vid of the Griffon 86: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y18bo5IYE50#t=4m45s

14.75 lbs for 18x8 is very impressive!!

Are these available for purchase?

Damn, thats close to a forged magnesium territory !

Yep. Had them on my car for about 6 months.

I love them.

Isnt Mg wheel less than 10 lbs?

I guess offset +45 saved few pound compared to lower offset.

IIRC the discontinued TE37 forged magnesium 18x8.0 was 12.7 lbs, so yeah it's not far.

If you don't mind me Asking, where did you get them from

These are around $680-700 per wheel. Rightfully so when an 18x9.5 wheel is around 15lbs.

Garage88 in Sydney.

Pretty sure they sourced a set for someone in Europe too.

Note that mine are not the size at the top of this thread.

They are 18x8.5 +43 front (6.8kg) and 18x9.0 +45 rear (7.1kg).

I have 245/35 and 255/35 Pilot Super Sports and I am still lighter than stock.

These are light no doubt. I believe they used a special new aluminum alloy and the spokes have dimples like the 57 Extreme. Was considering these versus the Prodrives (both are made in the same factory) but I opted for the "heavier" Prodrives because the T-66F's style left me wanting...

Anyone know the exact sizing for ones that TRD griffon is using? I'm guesing 18x8.5 to fit TRD brake calipers since TWS site shows that this size is used for 86 with performance brakes. Would be grateful if anyone knows this. Thanks!

TRD Griffon is either:
18x 9.0J 5/100 +44 Φ56.1 or maybe 18x 9.5J 5/100 +45 Φ56.1

According to the official 86 TRD Griffon Concept site, the Volk wheel specs are: RAYS　TE37SL　18inch 9.5J＋45
Assuming TRD kept identical dimensions to maintain tuning, they'd have to run 18inch 9.5J＋45 TWS wheels. Consider that these are fitted with widebody extended front fenders.

I agree, specially how the wheels remained close to the fenders.

Any idea where I can find these wheels!? I see that Rota Titan's are similar, any other options?

Design notes:

- 1 piece forged wheel (Only 3 manufacturers in the world have this capability)
- Dimples for maximum weight reduction without compromising strength
- Knurled bead seats to prevent tire slip
- 14.56 lbs (14 lbs 9.0 oz) for a 18x8 wheel! :eyebulge:

Very impressive. Too expensive for street use.

Who are the other two? RAYS and BBS?

Winner!

I believe your set arrives later this week.

What about CCW? Aren't they forged as well?

there are a lot of companies that cnc from forged blanks. i have a set sitting in my house for sale right now actually.id be interested in seeing how these are made forged without cnc cutting though. would be pretty interesting and im assuming thats the process since they say only 3 companies do it

LEGIT

a lot of companies, big name and small ones, that claim forged wheels are usually forged faces with cast barrels (or was it the other way around? i forgot). true one piece forged wheels are rare and expensive.

Basically 14.5lbs for 18x8? Jesus...

Wow.

That depends on your means, goals and priorities. Some would say a Porsche is too expensive for street use too. It's just their way of saying I can't appreciate or afford it, so therefore write it off.

Me, I put beautiful, lightweight, super strong wheels before tail lights, leds, fake carbon fibre and other such things.

They'll easily last as long as I keep the car and being top quality will retain a lot of resale value if you choose to flick them. I won't though. I'm a "Do it once, do it right" kind of person.

Thank you coyote. I am going to put in an order for these wheels because of you. :)

CCW, HRE, etc are machining forged ingots and barrels. While they are "forged" at the core, they are not of the same quality, strength, or weight of a 1 piece forged wheel.

Note that those "forged" wheels are typically 2 or 3 piece wheels, so that they can accommodate more designs and cars, and can do "custom offsets" by just using a different barrel.

I'm still shocked at the 14lbs!

Very impressive to say the least

is this set going on the CSG test car?!:bow:
