I found a pre order on some acura forums. for $950 shipped for a set. Staggered or square set up too. I emailed them, and their ready to take pre-orders but you have to pay the whole $950 up front. They seem legit, but I don't know.

Looks like I found my track wheels... 17x9 +45 will do nicely

MyEvilMonkeys · 01-30-2013, 02:46 PM

I don't know much about the tires or the wheels sizing but i'm looking for a "SAFE" setup (No Rubbing) going on a Sportline drop. No track or auto-x, just an aggressive daily driver. I currently have black Enkei Fujin 18x8 Squared. I'm not digging the look much.

What do you guys think of TireRack's suggested staggered fitment for the KOJIN?

18x8 Front 40 offset Recommended Tire 225/40-18
18x9.5 Rear 45 offset Recommended Tire 255/35-18

Do you think the KOJIN is going to have any concave in the front? It seems it will have some in the rear. Will the differences in concave (front vs Rear) detract from the setup or look stupid?

Also I was thinking of going Silver instead of the black on an Asphalt FRS. Opinions or thoughts?

thanks,

thanks,

The concave faces only start with ENKEI wheels on 9" and wider, so the 8" wouldn't be concave. See what I mean here with this FR-S on Enkei Raijins in 8.5 front / 9.5 rear:

I don't think it looks dumb and makes the rear wheels look all that more menacing for the staggered setup.

For the tire setup, I'd probably go with 225/40 front and 235/40 rear

Group Buy
Just wanted to let everyone know that we are having a group buy on this wheel through FT86 - head over to our Group Buy thread for more information!

I'm trying to decide between these and the new 18x9.5" +42 Mach V Wicked Awesome which come I'm a 56.1mm hub bore and an actual clear coat on the paint. Matte paint is a paint to take care of....so I am torn.

On Tirerack's site, they have two different pictures showing the difference in the wheel face for the 8"-8.5" and the 9"-9.5". It looks like the 8"-8.5" will still be somewhat concave, as opposed to being completely flat, which could kill the look of this wheel. It's not as obvious as the wider wheel, of course, but still looks like it could be a good option. Hopefully the 17x8 +40 will turn out well.

8"-8.5"

9"-9.5"

18's staggered 8.5, 9.5 +45 all around. Might not be on for a while. Tires will take me a little bit of time to save up for. But will do as son as I get em' on.

i like the rota better

I liked the Rota RT5's too. But I figure with the price being the same, might as well get a more reliable wheel, but an almost exact look, minus the lip for the kojins

Bump. Any updates ?

Cancelled my order and will probably be going a different route now. They kept pushing back my recieved date, so I cancelled.

Just purchased a set in silver 18x8 + Continental Ex DW (225/40) with TPMS. Should arrive before the end of the week. I estimate total weight is around 42lbs.
