Can you send pics of how flush the wheel set is with your quarter panels and fenders?
This link shows the car from multiple angles with these wheels installed: https://imgur.com/a/KjIeVMM The rear quarters are without spacers, as I had not yet installed the ARP wheel studs. The fronts had the 10mm spacers installed. I will also look for images of the front wheels in a straight position. (the last image shows the fronts straight with the 10mm spacer.)

What struts and how many inches are you lowered?
MeisterR ZetaCRD Coilovers - about 1.5"

How much clearance is there for suspension and brakes?
Ample clearance for brakes and coilovers without spacers, as these wheels were designed by TWS for performance driving / racing. I added the 10mm front spacers to slightly increase track, not as a result of clearance issues. The above link shows the clearance to the front suspension components.

Where are these wheels made?
Forged in Japan by TWS (Taneisya Wheel Service) (TAN-EI-SYA) http://www.neweraparts.com/Default.a...ProductID=1179

The quality is fantastic, as this company also produces wheels for numerous motorsports racing series.


Removed these from the car today, so they will not accrue any more miles until purchased. The wheels are not immaculate, but they are true and will not get curb rash with the wide tire fitment.

Final price drop to $1500 before I separate wheels and tires. I will consider trades for 5x112 and 5x114 wheels of similar quality for my Golf R32. (centerbore of 57.1mm or greater)

Prefer to sell locally, but will consider shipping at buyer's expense. My zip code for your shipping estimates is 30276. PayPal fees extra.

Please PM me with questions, and thank you for looking!

Sorry and good luck with the sale

I bought this set directly from RimsJapan. They now have an eBay account: https://www.ebay.com/usr/rimsjapan

The seller is in Russia, but communication was clear and honest, and the wheels arrived just as described. This model is the lightest version of the RF38 and is now discontinued.

As stated in my original post, you can purchase the newest design from http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm..._Code=TWS-T66F

OK - thanks for the update!

Wow. Thank you for the detail information. Really appreciate it!
I'll check them out. :thumbup:

You’re welcome! If you get a set you won’t be disappointed.

If I could get these to fit my VW R32 with adapters I would certainly keep them!
