You're in the wrong forum and need to read the rules about trying to sell product via this site.

I don't think the OP is trying to sell...

TAKUMA

:lol:

Haha. Whoops. My bad. Posting before coffee. :)

@TAKUMA do they come in other colours? Bronze perhaps?

attractive, but, 9.5kg*2.2lbs sounds heavy ...

Their about us page on their website says they've been around for 15 years but the site seems like it is a recent start up. One of the options (RST) state it's flowformed. Looks good. And I see fitments that will work for us.

No information on this wheel but if it's lightweight it would be a contender for my vehicle. It's their RSD

I am dubious. All the photos of super cars on there site appear chopped. Their Google presence appears to be about a month old, alibaba has them listed, all the wheels are copies, the language on the site is engrish in places.......don't want to be a hater but I aint seeing much that appears genuine and backs up the 15 years claim

I found a thread on the Liberty Forum AU and Takuma seems to be very responsive to questions. Interested to see the real product.

Id like to be proven wrong for sure so this is good news. The wheels sure are nice looking.

@Metabrz - I'm REALLY liking the 10 spoke RSD. I have been looking and am failing to find what they are a copy of. Their RSD is like a mutation of the Work Emotion 11R and the XD9. The 10 spoke symmetry is really speaking to me.

I can't find anything that is the same as their RST as well.

I think this company may be a legit start up and not just copying existing wheels. Point me in the right direction of the original wheels if I am wrong please.

none are lightweight if thats what you're after. 18x8 are ~9.4kg up to ~9.9kg for 18x9. they have a few designs i like............after xmas im told the RSG will be available

Most look like Advan copies, one of them even has TCIII on it.

Ok, I see a few that are direct Advan copies. Their VKP, T9C, RGD & RST are exact copies. Bummer. Anyone know what the RSD is a copy of?

The RSD is a copy of the RSD, they could be made in the same factory for all we know with a different label.

Cool. I didn't see a full matte black model an the Advan site.

I didn't either, had to do a google image search but having the same names makes me very curious how they are able to get away with it if they aren't related companies.

I'm noticing both websites even refer to vehicle fitment as "tricks out".

The Advan RSD only has the lug holes, looks like the Takuma has 10 instead of the Advan's so they aren't the same wheel.

Looks more like the Work Emotion 11R

That's an 11 spoke, the others are 10.

I like the Work's but my OCD self can't deal with asymmetrical design. Just one of those things for me. 10 spokes are just the right amount of spokage too. The Volk CE28n would be another option for me but the spokes on this design are just a bit fatter which look really nice.

Good catch. :bonk:

Takuma!?

These have been reported to the Yokohama office in Japan by mackin.

maybe they can get away with "RSD" since it's not "RS-D" (advan).

I can't believe they aren't even changing the names

huh? no

Yeah I know keep reading

^ Yeah. They are all exact copies. No attempt at even subtle changes. Can't believe I didn't catch it right away. A strange thing is the AU forum I linked on the first page talks about them costing around $500 per wheel which is way higher than you would expect from a copy so I'm a bit thrown off here. Hell, the $299 listed on the website is way more than most copies.

you guys cant accept new brand?

this is USA huh...such a small world -_-

Verdict is still out on this brand, but since the wheel exists and is photographed on an 86, it get's into the Wheel Directory. Buy at your own risk.
