Think you could convince TWS to make 17x9 (+nice offset) a standard 86 size?

BTW that's the nicest wheel ad I've seen on this or any forum. I would have ordered from you had I known you'd become the main TWS dealer (I placed my order a month prior from Japan Parts)

It'll be a custom sizing order which requires a minimum of 6 sets to make it happen. It must be 1 size, offset, and color. Are people interested?

I may be interested in some 17x9s, assuming they clear the Essex Sprint kit.

Based on spoke design, they probable will. I'm contemplating putting up a feeler thread for the custom size.

The SSR GT F01 is 1 piece forged. No where near as light as those-- 18x8.5 weighs 17.4 lbs.

Already been working with TWS to bring the standard size over, but it's damn near impossible to get them to move their mentality. What we can do is develop a custom spec and bring that over.
