don't get me wrong... I understand what you're saying and I think he should share, but I can understand why he might not.

It's just anti-community and selfish, but whatever.
If we had them they would have been posted. We deal with alot of custom wheel manufactures ( HRE, ISS, COR, DPE, ADV) and none will release this info. We will ask to ask to see if they release it and we will be glad to post them up for you guys.

Imagine the customer wanting to sell the set as a part out or going with a different set of rims. How would he sell them without being able to tell a buyer what the offset is? A closely guard secret is the methods to manufacture the rims. Keeping the offset secret is a silly idea to keep from potential community of customers. A shame really when I showed my friends and they were actually blown away by your rims. Other options out there. GLWS

Like was said above, if you actually have possession of the wheels it's easy to figure out the offset. If you don't have access to a wheel, you're basically guessing...

you can do a pretty good job comparing to OEM and then use MATH and be pretty accurate within 2mm

not that it matters, this is the first time i'm seeing someone not releasing basic information about a wheel.

Or we can buy wheels that just state their offset...

When I get my FR-S and I want a tire/wheel combo exactly like this for the street but with 18's, would you be able to replicated this?

Part of the deal would be to keep the specs away from DarrenDriven too! j/k!

It is messed up that they're not providing the offset but I'm sure if you wanted a similar offset, they'll help you out.

This is definitely a nice street setup and only a fool would even think about running this setup on the track. What's wrong with having both.

I hate to be the skeptic, but I've seen lots of tires over the years, and from that picture they don't look like 10.5" wide rims or 275 series tires.

That looks more like a 8.5-9" wide rim and a ~235 tire. However, of course I could be wrong.

Rims do look great, all politics aside...
