I posted about these wheels in several threads last year not for anyone's capital gain but just for the sake of discussion because I was genuinely interested in these wheels. I think the CSG duo just happened to catch wind of the interest it was generating and genuinely like the wheels, too.

I'd like to see any distributor (not necessarily CSG) stock these wheels stateside so if I ever need to replace a wheel, I don't have to wait 90 days. CSG is the only vendor I notice showing interest in stepping up to the plate but maybe people are being sheepish to respond or oblivious to this opportunity? What's not to like about these wheels in terms of being lighter, rarer, and having a lower MSRP than the other forged options?

You're the third person today to ask for pictures of these wheels. I went a year with them on the car and most people I suspect thinking they were Rotas.

I'll take a couple tomorrow morning. Warning, I only take photos of cars to sell them ... and even then the pictures are crap.

Ordering a set of these right now and can't decide on gold (these look so good on this blue BRZ) or gloss black on a white FRS......!

I think you can get gloss black only if you order at least 20 of them according to the TWS site. If you only want 4, I think your options are gloss silver, gloss gunmetal, or flat gold unless you know of a distributor who has bulk ordered gloss black.

Nope. I put mine on long before they came up with those. TWS said they wouldn't fit, then released a set 1mm different.

Mine are 8.5 +43 and 9.0 +45.

As promised, crappy phone pics:







Camber is -1.8 front and -1.3 rear.

No problem.

No spacers.

No idea how much it's lowered. Less than most. I just played until it was where I wanted it. I'd guess around 20mm.
