They actually look really good.. I had my doubts before these pictures btw

Those look great. Thanks for posting pics. I wish they were available in 17x8-9 for the rear.

if you're really ballin they make those wheels in magnesium. suppposedly 12.8 lbs for a 17x8 F8. probably not 5x100 lug pattern though.

edit: apparently available in 5x100 and 5x114!!!!! with magnesium i'd be really flippin paranoid of hitting anything tho. curb rash would equal death for these rims.

Those wouldn't look half bad with just a minimal drop

Don't want to know what they'd cost though.


Edit: Holycrap! Same 86 GT is on the RS Watanabe home page LoL

I know Watanabes are like BBS price.

I was considering these, but if something happens replacement lead times are insane as they are made to order.

I dont know if I am the first to ask but Wow is that an all carbon fiber body?I really hope it is not that fake decal stuff.Not so big on the wheels but love that carbon fiber body.

yeah, they are about the cost of BBS's. not worth it for me if you're planning on getting the aluminum versions as they aren't particularly light. on the other hand, the magnesium wheels are other worldy light. possibly the lightest 17s you can find. price for the magnesium wheels aren't that much more expensive than the aluminum either. they are stronger than aluminum and more resistant to bending, but once you bend them they're done. can't be fixed like aluminum wheels.
