im sure their are smaller sizes are available but why would you want them.

picks of my weapons or weapons in general???

Im deff ordering these tomarow. I wonder if these will be a long wait like the weapons were. Weapons were like a 6 week wait suprisingly.

Damn theres some other new MBs that look sick too but unfortunatly they come in terrible offsets.

I'd like to see yours, along with all the sizing info. I have been contemplating selling my C5's for a set of 17x8 low offset wheels. 18's are too damn heavy.

These look like Motegi MR7's...

I have a set of those and they look terrible on s bodies... wish I had a pick of the crappiness. I can only hope that these don't resemble MR7's as much as this pic suggests...

^^^ And be heavy as hell. My Motegi MR7's are 27lbs each and I bought the whole set for $200 including tires. Somebody tell me these rims don't look just alike, but wider...

I'd even take SportMax or Rota over these...

Like all people that fail to read they will get flamed....

your sir are special. Its been stated several times that these wheels come in a 17x9.5 +15.

I went into work and checked what our price is on um. We pay 112 a wheel so that means I can get um for like maby 115? muhahaha i think im gonna order a pair on monday.

As for them looking like motegi mr7's I agree but if they are concaved like im expecting them to be then they will look sick as fizuck biziches!

For the price, they are not all that heavy. I have 2 sets and a half of Competitions and each wheel checks in at just under 20lbs. for the 17x9 and just over 17lbs for the 16x8.The Weapon 2 is available in Europe in 18" sizes with more of a concave face. Looks good. You may want to google Ultralite wheels or look at HPI and Banzai magazines.

Well, the s14 pic definently allows you to see the offsets more, which is a big plus. It wasn't that noticable in the earlier pics.

If those stats are right, they'll have better fitment and weigh less than sportmax's, so thats another plus.

But it's profile will always look like those MR7s to me and thats a deal breaker. I finally found someone to take these off of my hands for a set of 350z wheels. Thanks God!
