Currently r888s come in 275 and 245. That will be my track/autox setup.

Any particular reason why you chose to go staggered?

275s I do feel a noticeable increase in "tracking" on the highway. A little annoying for my wife when she drives.

Thank You for the extra pictures. I'm really liking this new wheel. Are you running 235s up front?

We might strip the black finish off and just nanowax the bare metal, we'll see.

Question for ya... is the 17x9 more concave than the 17x8?

It's hard to tell in the pictures and the meaty rear tires distort the depth of the rim.

I'll try to get a better comparison photo between the two. The back spacing is the same between the 17x8 and 17x9 so the wider wheel has a slightly more concave look. Not drastic enough to be distinct though.

17x8 concave

Anyone know of a US company carrying these? Or anyone selling the GTF3s for that matter? I'm liking these wheels a lot.

BRZ-y · 07-31-2014, 12:34 PM

Not yet. Just 1010tires. Import fee is $49. Actually cheaper than tax in California.....

BadBRZ · 07-31-2014, 01:03 PM

i'm getting the 17x9's after i get my flex fuel kit!

deucethemoose · 08-01-2014, 03:35 AM

Yeah my import fee is 4% +$25, which I think works out to $55.

My wheels will be here tomorrow. I'll post some pics AND WEIGHT when they arrive.

deucethemoose · 08-01-2014, 11:47 PM

Whale Whale Whale... what do we have here. 720Form GTF2 18x9.0 +35

How about a bit of an unboxing?

Here are the caps and valve stems that are included.

However I elected to replace them with these black valve stems.

All put together.

These are kicking around tonight, so if anyone has any questions regarding specifics (I don't have the weight yet... tomorrow!) just let me know.

deucethemoose · 08-02-2014, 03:03 PM

Took a wheel in to a shipping place today and tossed it on the shipping scale. 18.5lbs each.

Edit: someone should buy the 18x10 to confirm weight!
