The title says it all. Does anyone know where I can find a set of DT-05R's? There was a group buy a while ago on Zilvia.net, but I'm not interested in waiting another year for that to fire up again.

If anyone knows where I can get a set, please let me know! I'm aware that M2 in Japan is a fairly small business and they have a lot of orders to fill, but man I NEED these wheels or else other people won't think that I'm cool!

Specifically, Bronze 16x7.5 +22 on 4x114.5 bolt pattern.

Thanks in advance for any help!

well, I think you'll be waiting for a while. I assume TF is the most qualified to bring over the wheels, and they are not confident in ordering more for at least a few months. Also, I didn't know M2 offered bronze as a color option for the wheels, but the paint isn't very good anyways, so that's an easy fix.

Hello,

You're absolutely right, the color isn't bronze, it's gunmetal. Thanks for clarifying that. I guess I don't know my colors after all! Where did you hear that the paint wasn't very good? Are you saying that IF I ever get a set I will have to get them powder coated or repainted?

I haven't been able to find another M2 supplier with the exception of TF, so I guess I'm out of luck until next summer..........

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I don't think there is another "supplier" for m2. Anyways, I own the gunmetal wheels, and the paint is not great. It chips easily, and doesn't look so great after a few months of driving. You get what you pay for, but paint is easy.
