No, you don't suck, you were honest. I appreciate it, but just didn't want to insult anyone here with the thread, that's all. That editing of the post, that's all moderators, I didn't mark or report anything to anyone. But thanks for undertanding.

I see it more like telling girls in 2012 that pony-tails and flair-skirts are sexy. It's rather antiquated in trends, but makes great deal of sense to those in another niche.
I, too wish the wheels were already available in 18x8 or something but we are trying to convince a man whose stature is as highly regarded in Japan and as iconic as Colin Chapman and Carrol Shelby there... So I'll do my best to keep pushing, and it helps if things go nicely with these 17's which are his style. And it's a classic, without the tainting of current trends and does enhance for those choosing to be milder, and functionally close to the original intent and visions of the FRS, however conservative this may be for the mod-happy American enthusiasts today. All good man.

Classic wheels! I'm glad they are available for us. I don't think the dark blue does the wheels right though. I think they'd really look nice on a white car.

I like it on the Ultramarine and Firestorm, the two colors that are theme to 1970's look.

About the "rust" posted by someone earlier.. Aren't these aluminum? Shouldn't they, then, oxidize and turn flaky white instead of rusting?

I don't know why the old USA distributor for the wheels (now gone) wrote about this, as complaints are mostly for the owners of the original ones sold in the 70's and 80's who are looking to restore the classics. Of course almost any wheel from that era will oxidize without care.

Anyway, these new ones STL as well as CR and ST in smaller sizes for the classic cars, are made now with newer materials, and techniques on modern CNC in Japan, and as such, should be more resistant to premature fading of the coatings and surfaces.

had 14x9 -19 on order for my 86 but the vendor was just lying to me about the order for 6 months (before they had us distribution)... they were 2400$shipped just for 14's.. couldn't imagine the price for 17's.

Trying to work with Mr.Hayashi about the MSRP on these and other US bound wheels. Don't expect them to be drastically less expensive but trying to find a reasonable compromise with them as we speak... So the MSRP is to be determined for the USA/Global markets at this time.　The new distribution will be direct, and prices are expected to be more reasonable than before. (realistically...but not competing with replicas or other economy wheels however... )

these wheels are not my cup of tea, but they do look good on the car although i wouldn't put them on the car personally, not my taste, nice wheels

I would love to see a set of the CR on a Firestorm someday.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but here's the STLs on a Firestorm.
