They (720Form, not Flow Form) don't sell direct. You need to go through a vendor.

That's not bad at all! With dual valves too. Where do they have wheel weights posted? I'd rock those GTFO wheels. lol

Edit: NVM 15.5 for the 17x8's... not too shabby. seems like the price is right too.

Just need to find someone who deals with DAI. Why expect the manufacturer to spoon feed you?

i had to buy my wheels through a distributor in canada, then shipped to california.

Cole your wheels look awesome! What type of driving are you going to be doing on your RE-71R's? How much will you drive them on the street? I was thinking about getting a set, I only drive my FR-S on the weekend and I want to do a few autox events this summer.

Does it look like you'd be able to run 255/40-17's? What camber specs are you at? Do you think there's clearance for STI brembo calipers? what vendor did u go through to get your wheels and how long did you have to wait? I was thinking about seeing if I could get them through 1010tires.com but maybe there's a forum sponsor that would be better to buy from?

Thanks for the info

Most of my driving is going to be street. I'll be doing a couple autox events throughout the year. So, probably 95% street, 5% autox.

I could run 255/40's probably, but there might be rubbing issues. Right now, I'm at -2.5F and -2R for camber. I have a slight rub in the front (tire on spring) so I ordered some 3mm spacers to fix that. If they end up rubbing on the fender after spacers, I'll dial some camber out, and run -2F and -1.5R.

I've heard that these will clear the STi Brembo's, but don't have first hand experience.

Bought the wheels through a local shop who only carries DAI wheels. I waited almost 2 months for them to come in. 1010Tires is a good option if tney have them in stock. I don't think many vendors carry these in the US, might be forced to order from a Canadian shop.

Not exactly a bad thing considering the state of our dollar

I got my 17x8's about 8 months ago. Had them off for winter. Completely change the look of the car. Put them on two weeks ago and at my first stop someone commented on the car. The concavity on your 9's is boss haha.

What were your alignment settings in these photos?

quick question on your wheels

getting real close to solidifying my choice to go with the gtf1's at 9" wide which is exactly what you did but on a hankook ventus v12 evo2 k120 set of tires. was tempted to push to 255/40 and am currently at stock height. but with the slight rub issue you are having at 245/40 i might just stick with your size.

my big question is how much is your ride dropped? i am only ever looking to go to an eibach lowering springs which varies from .8" to 1" and then some SPC camber bolts up front and SPC LCA's for the back.

my car is a daily driver even through winter so not looking to slam it, just combat the 5mm or so of baja lift and close a little wheel gap.

let me know if i am a little loonie for trying to go to 255/40 with stock coils.

:bonk:

Natural rear, camber bolts up front. I'd guess around -1.5 camber up front, -2+ in the rear.

Ended up not rubbing at all, but have minimal clearance between tire and spring perch.

I'm on Tein S-Tech springs, so I think it's 1.2" front and 1.4" rear, but I could be wrong.

255 should fit, but you won't be able to run as aggressive of an alignment.
