17x8.5 and about 16lbs or less would be quite great. Oh, and bronze ftw.

Now the big question is price. If they can keep these in the price range of Enkei RPF1's or less, I think I know which wheels will be on my to-get list.

I love the styling of this wheel. The original 527's are too heavy. Phatfux Ballsy 18x9 +35 are now discontinued. Authentic Wedsports TC105N's are pricey and I wouldn't feel comfortable rocking them on the streets; which leaves these new 527F's to hopefully be the best of everything. Not too expensive, stong, and lightweight.

Yeah, depending on price, I'm in between RPF1's and these. Look's like RPF's are going to be about 2lbs less at 18x9.

That's a pretty similar weight to may flow formed wheels in the same size. I know these should be stronger, but I was thinking these should have been lighter really.

I saw this at SEMA when they had them out. I wonder what pricing is going to be like.

Rpf1's are the go to wheel and that's the problem too, everybody has them. Hopefully these are priced aggressively.

For me, anything 18x9 and sub 20lbs is great.

I've only seen one car with them over here. It also happens to be a twin lol

ZOMFGAARON · 11-18-2015, 01:29 AM

Hopefully these are on the cheaper side. Another rep company (esm) is getting into the forged world and they're charging $900+ a wheel. But they're made in the USA not sure where these are

Ahh Ive always loved the way these wheels look. But on a widebody the wheels werent wide enough or offset enough. These might just do the trick!

There's actually a lot of NorCal Twins that have them.
