Enkei came out with new rims since I bought these but I'm still very happy. I love the looks, price and the lighter weight (3lbs/rim less than stock). You will notice the weight difference in performance.

The shipping ended up being around $370, plus I had to go through some currency exchange thing with my bank to pay them ( It was a bit of a hassle).
Tirerack do not do credit or paypal for international orders, So you have to be able to deposit money into an american bank account. How you do that may differ with each bank.

I am trying to upload photos of them in the box, but I am having trouble with uploading photos to the forum

Interested in those fujin 17 7.5, but I would be really interested to see a picture of the three quarter front and rear view to see how far the spokes stick out..if thats ok I will order the same.

thanks Dasher

The Fujin will still be inside the fender plane as I have 17x8 Kosei K4R's with a +36mm offset that are just inside the fender plane. I just got in my set of Enkei Fujin's (to be the daily driver wheels) and took pictures of one to show outside, inside, and how far the spokes come out of the rim plane (~3mm past the rim). Also weighed it and it came right to 17.0 lbs for just the wheel itself (no valve stem, center cap, etc...)







Also measured the wheel against the AP Racing Sprint brake system template from Essex and it has adequate clearance (yes the almost 1 mm gap from the template not being all the way down was taken into consideration with the measurements...):

Thanks Vracer111 for the pictures - that was helpful. Just to be a pest does anyone have a three quarter front and rear of fujin 17 7.5 +40. I am would like to compare with FRS Firestorms very smart PFO1's.

thanks

Thanks Brad I think they look great and I have contacted Tyrerack to talk about a deal.

Brad are they the Toyota wheel nuts or Enkei nuts?

Hi Dasher, The are Enkei ones. They came with the wheels when I ordered them from Tyrerack. I also coated them (and the rest of the wheels) with opti coat 2.0 before having them fitted.

Got them on tonight and just finished test driving them. They ride about as good as my lighter track setup (17x8 +36mm offset Kosei K4R on 215/45-17 Kuhmo XS tires) but I like the stock tires lower grip level better for having fun while daily driving. Really like the look, preview images below:





Thanks to Grateful Dave for making this post, they are nice wheels that go really well with Asphalt!

Wow at that price may have to look into em. Be nice to have a set for show which I bought and a set like this for go.

Was a little wet yesterday, but here's the pictures:





Was a heavy downpour last night/early this morning and light rain on the way into work... car feel absolutely PERFECT in the wet with 3/4 fuel level, Sport mode engaged, and the stock tires aired to 38F/37R. Much smoother ride than with the stock wheels and the car just stuck to the wet road while going around the turns and such in a fun manner...was giggling and had tears of joy; I love wet weather and this car in it just rocks!
