Wheel Directory: TWS T66-F 18x9.5 +45
 
http://www.darrendriven.com/ft86/title.png


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?

CSG Mike 03-11-2014 01:33 AM

I can't comment.

Take that for what you will :D

Congrats, the spokes make them look like 19", they look beautiful on the car

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.

:burnrubber:

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...

*KID* 03-11-2014 12:32 PM

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.
