So I did more research for you guys and this is all the 5x100 fitments available:

17x7.5 ET48mm - 5x100
17x8.0 ET35mm - 5x100
17x8.0 ET48mm - 5x100
18x8.5 ET48mm - 5x100

diirk · 09-27-2012, 02:19 PM

17x8.0 ET35mm - 5x100 is perfect.

I don't think it's too high of an offset especially considering how good it looks on Cusco's FRS. It may not be as "flush/hella flush" for your preference, but it fits the FRS/BRZ with no problems. The only 5x100 RPF1 application that Enkei makes is:

16x7.0 ET45mm
17x7.5 ET48mm
17x8.0 ET35mm
17x8.0 ET45mm
18x7.5 ET48mm
18x8.0 ET35mm
18x8.0 ET45mm

They make a 17x8.0 ET35mm

Yes, the spoke design along with aggressive offsets can present a problem clearing oversized brake calipers.

I'll try to find out the weights.

OP...these things look great. If you get pricing, PM me. Also, do you have other pics on the BRZ/FRZ, perhaps in another color?

Having a lower offset will make the sit more "flush" to the fender if you want a more aggressive look. However, I think the 18x8.5 ET48mm fits just fine and it looks great too! If it's not flush enough, you can always add spacers. I will let you know on pricing!

They would make a great track wheel!

The reason why some wheels are not available in the U.S. is because of different wheel regulations. Yes, and I wish we had more options here, but that's why I'm going to work on slowly bringing more JDM wheel options to the FRS / BRZ enthusiasts.

I think many of us really appreciate your effort on our behalf.

Thanks can't wait to see more selection. Would love to see more white wheels

whitejdm · 09-27-2012, 03:53 PM

LOVE these wheels! Bump for some weight measurements on the 17's and a ball park price.

Update 9/27/12:

Okay so Cusco is currently in negotiations with Enkei and IRF (japanese company who owns the rights to sell the RC-T4) concerning pricing and availability. So ModBargains and Cusco will be working on hopefully getting some a custom sizing for the FRS/BRZ guys.

I'm going to try to get them to manufacture a 18x8.5 ET38mm size which should be a better looking fitment on a FRS/BRZ. We would need to order a minimum of 10 sets to make this happen. Problem is that it can't be multiple colors, just one color.

-Frank

diirk · 09-27-2012, 05:06 PM

Might be worth it to throw up a poll so see what size/color would be most popular.

Foobar · 09-27-2012, 05:08 PM

I'd be interested in the 17x8 +35's in Bronze. Any estimates on pricing?

ebphoto · 09-28-2012, 01:41 PM

should really go for a 18x9 +35 or something..
this car is 17x9 +35 with 255... not sunk, and fits big tires... i think that would be a better fitment.

Looks good. Do you have any more pics?

I love the look of these in gold (and my Braid order of a similarly-looking wheel is not happening), but there are no size/offset options that really appeal to me.

I could be conviced to get 17x8 +48, if I see pics of it. But at the moment I'm inclined to think that this design will look small in 17".

18x8.5 +48 is close to what I'd want, but I don't think it offers enough clearance to the spring seat with a decent tire.
