I need these wheels soon and I'm definitely not going to put on my silvia front end until I get them. Wide fenders with tiny wheels looks goofy.

Holy hell! Just like most of the people here, I'm down for a set in 17" 4 lug. Keep us posted! Sounds like I'm gonna be buying myself an early Christmas present if these come out.

Motegi = American Racing Equipment??

These wheels are definitely appealing, but is a widebody kit required to fit them on an S13 for wider widths? I currently have 4 lug 17x9's +38 out back with no body work needed to fit them at all. Also, here's a suggestion for future designs:

I'd still like to know how much they weigh. We shouldn't have to wait on that info, since you already have a set underground.

Keep in mind, mine won't be the same material or design used in the finished production.

Currently, they weight 24lbs for 18x10, but the new designs are going to be lightweight racing wheels.

I think they are planning on introducing the line first to see how the market responds. I could see a forged line down the road, but I believe they will wait to see how the regular wheels do first!

My prediction: Pretty freaking good!

Im sooooo glad that these kind of wheels are coming at the right price. They are very nice. Underground get ready to be sold out right when you get them. That would be real tight if you can get some groupbuy on this or something. Do you know all the widths they will be coming with? With a huge width of 10 inches should i be thinking of wider fenders? do you have a pic with them on a s13 w/o wider fenders? can't wait to see them here.

If you sell them in 4-lug, 16x7.5, 16x8, 16x8.5, or 16x9 with silver or chrome lip, silver face, and a low offset that also avoids hitting the stock fenders, for less than a $1,000, you can almost guarantee an order from me. If the weight of each wheel is 18 lbs or less, then it's even better.

I like the fact that they are five-spoke (give good visibility of rotors and calipers), the spokes are think and beefy but not too thick, and the deep-dish-like lip. I would have preferred a design that had a center cap which covered the lug nuts, but thats just a minor preference that will not affect my purchase decision too much.

Look forward to the release of these wheels.
