Hot damn! 18 inchers are only 14.7 lbs!

i saw that they make a 16x7 +35, too bad, if they could build that into a BRZ fitment, those and some 225/50ZR16 AD08Rs would be my new wheel and tire choice!

They can easily make that. They custom make these wheels. There's a customisation page on their website. They don't charge naff all for doing it either.

I'd like to get 16x8 +30 some time later this year.

I looked at these back near purchase of car. Sent emails multiple times never got any word back, any of out her countries listings didn't respond either. Too bad a vendor in NA didn't carry them as their specs are indeed good.

Thanks for the Info! i'd probably end up picking up a set of Black 16x7.5 +30 Front and +20 Rear. shouldn't weight more than 12lbs a piece and the AD08R's weigh about 22.5lbs so 34.5ish pounds per corner. -6 or 7lbs per corner would be epic.

Nice! Would love some in 16x7

Wow those 18's look great on the car. Nice and refreshing to see something new.

It's not stated on the website, but there is a minimum order quantity for custom sizing. You'd need to find to some others who want the same.

The guy who sourced mine for me has an office in Japan and will send them anywhere in the world straight from there. If you really want a set, PM me and I'll put you in touch.

17x9 +36 please!!!!!!!

Thought 17x8 +42 looks good enough and being 6.32kg is pretty damn good.

Sold @coyote how do I order them?

+1!

I wonder how much 17x9 would weigh

Imo, they don't look that nice/cool (always disliked skinny spoke'y wheels and prefer deep face with lips or concave spoked wheels)... but it should always be about function over looks...and these are unbelievably light :bow:

$500 for a Forged and light wheel is pretty amazing too :)

diss7 01-05-2014 03:32 PM

I don't know why they don't offer a 16x8 instead of a 16x7 for us. 16x7 can only take a 205 semi. Must be for a race series.

Most 16" slicks I can find are recommended to go on a 16x8.

stevo_12v 01-05-2014 03:53 PM

Are proper semi slick widths wider than all season tyres? I'm running 16x7's(SprintHart CP-R's) on mine with 225's.
These are a fantastic rim... hmmm maybe I need a set.

It is 16x7.0 +48 5x100 56.1mm and 4.82kg.

Price is 50,000 Yen (each).

Picture of the 18" T66-F (which I have).

You mentioned ordered are being taken.. is this from an Australian disty/wholesaler/retailer?

I wonder what price a set would be -landed-
