There is a possibility these wheels can reach the US. We've sent an inquiry and we'll be following up with TWS to see what we can do. If there's a possibility to bring them here, we'll setup some sort of GB to make it a feasible option for everyone.

We have some interesting information. I'm working with TWS direct now and we'll see what will happen. It may take a little time, but if it works out, we'll be going for much more ideal wheel sizes for our cars.

Meh, these wheels are common now that TRD has blatantly copied my R&D.

I'll have to get something else.

Sweet! 17s!! Maybe? I looked at the 17s and they were real close to the 18s in weight anyway but at least the diameter is smaller keeping rotational inertia down, and you could have more access to lighter/cheaper tires.

Anyway, what sizes/offsets were you guys looking at?

No promises because everything is in discussion phase. It's up to TWS whether they want to develop a relationship or not. I can say though, this company is pretty interesting. Right now everything is like imagining you won the lotto. Everything is all talk and dream plans until it actually happens.
