Very understated, ol' skool feel to 'em

He's referring to Initial D's main character, Takumi Fujiwara. He drives an AE86 Trueno with similar wheels. Tofu driver in the morning and downhill legend by night.

I like them, kind of like watanabe's. but just don't like how it seems 'samey' with the body color.

weights on them?

Thank you everyone for your feedback! I hope to see more of the twins wearing these. Even better would be to see a set of real f8s!

Nah, I'm just a white guy. My family is Lebanese.

Acceleration doesn't seem much worse, but it's hard for me to judge. I don't really beat on this car, yet. I just drive and enjoy it more or less.

I believe they come in a wide variety of sizes! The back of the spokes are hollow. I never weighed them, but they felt lighter then most 18's I've picked up. If I had to guess I'd say about 21-22lbs plus tires.

I have to agree. These look very aggressive and just fantastic- especially on Asphalt.

Yea yea, I know Maybe one day when I'm not dumping my wallet into my old 86 , restoring a suzuki t500 and rent in the city, Ill cough up the money for some fancy wheels! If that happens, they'll be a more functional size. Something in a 17x7.5 probably. Until then, I'm on a rota kind of budget. Lol

I just threw some achilles atr sports on it. They are cheap, great for Montgomery's crappy road, and have tons of good reviews.
